AIBU to be livid at kitchen fitter for pissing all over my bathroom like a bloody tomcat?

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!!!

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.

I would have to say something. Completely out of order.

Put a note up above the loo saying :

Men : please sit to pee as this loo has an odd design and splashes all over the floor.

That allows him to save face - you're not calling him a dirty sod who can't pee straight, and saves your floor. Plus hopefully makes him think for future.

Or if you don't mind potential confrontation, tell him when he arrives that in your house men need to sit to pee as you don't have time to wash the floor every day.

And this is why I now tell any unknown tradesmen that I am so sorry but actually my loo is adapted for my disability (true) so can’t be used by anyone else (not true).
They can’t be trusted and I am not risking it ever again.

OP, if you have carpet, then you need one of those little mats that go in front of the loo - at least you can chuck it straight into the washing machine. I would actually ask him to close the loo after he’s used it - I don’t think that’s unreasonable. But I feel your pain!

A pedastal mat?? Oh I just think of my granny's house when I see those. But even with one of those I'd still have to scrub as his range is far and wide. Vile!

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

Is it a territorial thing?? Well this isn't his territory. I presume he's as bad at home. His poor wife.

What is it with the male species that they're incapable of peeing straight 🙄. Admittedly there's some women who are equally invalid actually peeing in the pan too.
