AIBU to be absolutely livid that my kitchen fitter pisses all over the toilet and the floor every time he uses the facilities. He must have a "sprinkle-cock" Fireman Sam would be proud of. And not only that, he flushes without putting down the lid of the toilet so aerosols of his piss float through the air coating the immediate area around the loo. Every time he goes in there my whole body tenses and I have to go in after him to mop up the worst of what's on the floor so it doesn't get traipsed through the house. I have carpet ! ! ! ! ! And I know I'll be scrubbing away as soon as he leaves this evening.

My BP is up and it's only day 2 ! Oh god I could swing for him!!!

I don't let workmen use my toilet,this kind of behaviour is exactly why.I already said no to one last year who turned up and immediately asked to. I think they went to a neighbour.
Tell him he can go in the garden like all the cats do next time or go on his lunch break to the local supermarket.

Even workmen are human. It's basic human decency to let the people who are in your house use your toilet. I loathe this attitude.

Fair enough, if they make a mess, tell them to sort it out, and if they don't, tell them to go elsewhere, but from the outset, please for god sake just treat the workmen the way you would anyone else who was in your house for the day.

I would have to say something. Saying something is not deliberately trying to embarrass him. There is no excuse for such Slovenia behaviour.

JJWT · 20/03/2026 19:55

Omg I feel your pain. Years ago (previous house) my Moben kitchen years ago was fitted by a man who went for a massive no2 every morning and didn't then go in the bathroom to wash his hands (we had a separate loo). I was pregnant at the time and used to cry about it. Stank the bloody house out as well. If it happened mow id cal the company. I'm not paying 1000s for that!!

Sorry but personally I'd say something. Id say if he cannot pee straight or he cannot be clean or clean up, the door will be locked and he can go elsewhere. If you are not that way inclined put puppy pads around the toilet with a sign saying peeing on the floor/ toilet seat is not acceptable.

MeganM3 · 20/03/2026 19:51

i think they do it on purpose

Jenstan21582 · 20/03/2026 19:45

I'd be absolutely fuming!
I once had work men in from the council for a kitchen fit. There was about 4 of them,one of them decided to take a shit in my bathroom,he used a stupid amount of air freshener,& left the most ridiculous amount of skids behind,along with using loads of loo roll! I get sometimes,they must get caught short, but it was awful!
Not only that,he opened the window so wide,when they left, because the wind blew through the house, I heard smashing noises,went to see what it was & the designer, quite expensive perfumes I'd got on a shelf had got knocked off from the blinds blowing,all three of them were smashed in my sink!! After numerous phone calls, they agreed to come & replace them,they never did,I was absolutely livid!!

mathanxiety · 20/03/2026 19:40

As soon as he's finished with the kitchen, call his company and complain. Send the complaint in writing too. If they have a FB page, complain there too.

Tell them you will not be recommending the company to anyone purely because their employee thinks its OK to piss all over customers' homes.

The filthy pig.

Put a load of old newspapers round the toilet and on the floor see if the dirty git takes the hint

At this stage in my life, I would not accept this. I think they do it on purpose in a woman’s space. Little power play. I would ask him to sit on the loo and provide a box of cleaning supplies for his ‘accidents’. I would be brisk and no-nonsense about this, like talking to a child.

There was another thread recently where some of us were reminded of uncle Harvey and auntie Val in League of Gentlemen, and it’s happened again, thank you!

In this hooouuse….

Sorry if you don’t know what I’m talking about!

MurkyMo · 20/03/2026 08:54

Oh god no. But it's that awful textured safety flooring, husband is disabled so that's why it's here. But it's so difficult to clean because of the rough texture of it.

Buy a Turbo Scrub. They are excellent for cleaning anti-slip flooring. I got mine off ebay ages ago.

tommyhoundmum · 20/03/2026 18:40

Maybe he needs circumcising

Ahsheeit · 20/03/2026 18:31

All you need to say is "clean up after yourself in the bathroom please, or you'll have to go elsewhere". Fuck embarrassing him, his behaviour SHOULD embarrass him.

OldScribbler · 20/03/2026 18:24

Quite right. I am amazed that grown up men can’t even aim straight. Who the hell raised them?

pouletvous · 20/03/2026 18:18

Put the lid down on loo. Put some floor wipes on toilet lit and a note saying, please clean up your piss

CyanMaker · 20/03/2026 18:13

I know just how you feel. Years ago I had a new refrigerator delivered.Not only did the guy put a dent in it while moving it in the door, he also made a mess of my bathroom when he used it.I hope your contractor is better at doing your kitchen than he is at using the bathroom!

MurkyMo · 20/03/2026 17:17

Well he's finished up now, thank the lord!!!! If he was here longer I'd have to say something though. How does his wife put up with it ??

She probably told him to piss and shit in other people's houses before he comes home so he won't do it at theirs.

I'm at the tail end of doing some renovations to my flat. The last thing to do is to fit some new internal doors. I've bought some tools and I'm going to do it myself.

I cannot tolerate another man that I don't know, crawling all over my personal space 😒

I would not accept this, give him some cleaning spray and a cloth and tell him to clean up his mess..... fucking disgusting man.

This. I don’t normally comment on these threads because I don’t care at all if someone uses my loo, but this is too much, and totally unnecessary.

My husband's a decorator.
He was working in a house once and the woman who owned it brought him a cup of tea and a biscuit. He was up a ladder in the bathroom at the time so she put the biscuit (no plate) and the mug on the pedestal rug in front of the toilet.

Salty hairy footprint biscuits, yum. I hope he flushed the tea away too, if that was the customer's idea of food hygiene.

What do you mean "funny how financial advisors and even salesmen" didn't leave a mess? Do you think it's a class thing or something? A university lecturer left my bathroom in a right state once. Funny how it's only university lecturers who've done that, and the builders have all left it perfectly fine.

The hand towel thing is insane, and disgusting. Cannot imagine what would possess someone to do this. But I wouldn't extrapolate from one lunatic to all builders. And the "animals" comment just doesn't sit ok for me.

And what is with all the comments about builders and bacon buns?? One of my (builder) brothers is a vegetarian who typically eats bircher muesli for breakfast, but neither of them are heading off for hot breakfasts at 11am on a working day.

TBF, they do have to work in some filthy, noisy, dangerous environments, so can't afford to be too dainty about their toilet preferences. Maybe some lose sight of how clean a bathroom can and should be as a result of the horrible working environments that are their normal. But I don't know a single tradesman who would behave they way you've experienced some behave.

This 100pc
I am dismayed at the extreme bias and negative stereotyping of tradesmen.
It is disgraceful.
No particular habits or traits can be attributed to any one group of people and the snobbery and prejudice on this forum is astounding.
I have had extensive building work done on my home by different trades people and have never encountered any of the issues described here.
Fwiw, in my workplace, a senior member of professional staff frequently left skid marks in the toilet.
The same out person had a second home and children in private education. Therefore, arguably someone in the same bracket as described by some on this forum (ie solicitors).
Such explicit snobbery and judgmental comments are extremely worrying.

Ladybyrd · 20/03/2026 14:58

I don’t know what’s bloody wrong with men. It so much easier for them to pee - they don’t even have the indignity of squatting. Just point and shoot. Maybe it’s like a fire hose when some of them whip it out.

InspectorDefect · 20/03/2026 14:47

Spiderx · 20/03/2026 09:14

You shouldn't have to put up with this. As a grown man ,he should do the " shake" before starting to pee...that is like un- kinking a garden hose so there is some direction control. Often remaining tucked in our underwear for a few hours our appendages need straightening out before use ! Easily done by giving it a quick " dry shake".first before the flow starts. Don't know how you would be able to advise him about doing this though ?!

This is fascinating!

I agree. I am astounded!

Maybe it is because I grew up in a house of sisters, no brother, have a limited dating history etc so not enough experience of men but my mind is blown 🤯 right now.

Why cant he wee into the toilet as an adult?! Why? What is the reason?

If he has a wife / partner - what does she think of this?

If he has male DC - is he teaching them this is ok?

I have soo many questions.

Why would anyone do this in a client’s home? Never mind in their own home?

Do men really do this? Responses
on this thread seem quite calm.

My mind is truly blown 🤯.

@MurkyMo I’d definitely say something because WTAF?!

His wife is a primary school teacher.
