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!

I don't know what's weirder; the number of times that they've supposedly been to the toilet or the fact that you're keeping count. They haven't found your cocaine stash, have they?

I couldn't care less that it's 'weird' that I'm keeping count! I'm pissed off!

They are flushing the loo. We have two taps outside for them so no need at all to get water from our titchy cloakroom sink

Just ask them. Or lock the door

I would have to ask them if they have a stomach problem, that is absolutely excessive.

I have been once at 6.45am.

Are they on drugs? Using it as a sort of quick break? Whatever the reason it's way too excessive, wouldn't get away with it in other jobs. Good job they aren't long distance drivers eh! I'd probably say something like "I've noticed the toilet flushing a lot are you unwell? Can I get you something?" just so they know it's noticed. I've been up since 6am and have been twice.

This is just weird - why do they need to go so many times?! Can you work downstairs in the lounge or kitchen in view from the downstairs loo? So perhaps they will spot you when they next come in and even if you don't say anything you can give them puzzled (and slightly glaring?) looks?

I think saying something like 'is everything OK, you seem to be in and out a lot?' or asking if they need something is a good idea.

No one needs to pee that much.

Unless.... OP you're not one of those customers that constantly fills up coffee mugs are you? I know DP sometimes gets almost force fed tea and biscuits and has problems

Even so 30 odd times is insane!

What's the tally now OP??

They are checking their phones and their general toilet behaviour leaves a lot to be desired. Speak to them.

None of this sounds normal.

How much actual building are they getting done between the loo trips?

You are going to get a massive water bill if they are flushing 30-40 times in one morning. You need to ask.

Cool story bro

Tell them the loo is broken, the handle fell off or something, no one piddles that much.

You NEED to say something! You're going to end up with the water company digging the road up, looking for a major underground leak!

What’s the situation today?

Since you first posted I have had three wee’s, I expect their tally is in the 100’s now!

I wonder if during the excavation of your property improvements they have found gold and are sieving it in your bathroom sink......
