Annoyed with builders

[RunAlexRun]

We currently have two builders at our house this week building an extension. I am more than happy for them to come in and out of the house as they please to use the loo, however they've been here since 8.30 so not even an hour yet and between two of them they've been in to the loo 12 times so far! Each time they come in they slam the front door so hard that the house shakes. And of course the dogs then start barking.

I'm trying to work from home this week, and the constant door slamming is annoying. Also they don't always shut the toilet door when they wee. And they're not washing their hands either as I hear them (loudly!) wee then slam the toilet lid down then they're straight out the door.

Aarrgghhh!

Two men taking 12 trips to the bathroom in just one hour.

That’s bizarre.

I only wee once, sometimes twice a day and have done all my life so am a bit odd but 12 trips seems very excessive to me!

As for the door slamming, you tell them straight that it’s not acceptable.

DH says I'm not allowed to say anything as he doesn't want to risk upsetting the builders.

They've now done 16 toilet trips in total this morning.

23 now.....

That’s very odd.

As for not upsetting them about slamming the door that is ridiculous! You’re not being rude by asking them to shut the door with care.

I would ponder their lack of professionalism if they can’t shut a door properly and then wonder about their actual workmanship.

Why are they urinating 16 times in a couple of hours?

23?

That’s beyond weird as it’s unlikely both would have a medical problem.

I've had builders working at our house for many months, I provided a Portaloo out side, cost me £80 per month, the company empty it every week. Well worth the money to not have builders in the house

Has your dh got a weird magazine collection stashed in the loo?

get a portaloo

That's very odd indeed.

Our builders provide their own portaloo. I think it's a legal requirement for them to provide toilet facilities?

I've been up since 8am. I've been to the toilet twice so far.

Have they both got the shits?

That's very odd. Maybe they're taking something? (As in drugs, not stealing loo roll or anything 🤣).

Using their mobiles? Maybe not supposed to use them when working.

No I think they're weeing! They keep leaving the door open and also they're only in there for 20 or 30 seconds.

We're on 29 now, btw....

Just get a portaloo and tell them it's too disturbing having them come in and out. Our builders had a portaloo delivered in day two of our build. They wouldn't have dreamed of coming inside. They were here for 5 months.

Are they chaining cups of tea /coffee?

I can need to wee three times in an hour if I chug loads of coffee (but I have post baby pelvic floor as my excuse)

They should be done by the end of the week, luckily. It's not a big extension or complicated job.

We're up to 32 now!

Between 11:00 and 11:08 they went 3 times? 🤔🙄 OK. The same one?

Oh my goodness! Get a portaloo and make a joke about not being able to work with amount of times they need to piss!

I don't know who it was! I was upstairs at the time but obviously heard them!

Thats bloody weird.
I go down and wander about, so when they come in they see you there. Give them a look and ask with a head tilt, "are you OK, you need the loo a lot, Can I get you something? Paracetamol?"
See what they do.

Are they flushing the toilet? Wondering if they are disposing of stuff in there, or filling things with water from the sink...?

I'm wondering if they are just getting water too.

When do they work?!
