I just don’t know if I am being completely unreasonable here.
We have builders in at the moment (not in our flat but in the flat opposite which is owned by us).
Seeing as it belongs to us, I immediately started offering them teas/coffees the day the works commenced.
It’s not a problem when there is just 1, 2 or 3 workmen in at a time. But.. sometimes there’s 5-6 of them and because i’ve started it, they now just knock (twice a day usually) and ask for their teas & coffees.
Like I say, if there’s just a couple or a few of them I don’t mind at all. When i’m standing around making 5+ cups of different teas and coffees though, whilst looking after two young children, it gets a bit annoying. I’m also sick of seeing all the mugs left outside my door at the end of the day needing to be washed - although I suppose it’s good that they always give them back instead of leaving them laying about.
Part of me feels it is reasonable, part of me thinks it isn’t.
Although I can’t exactly turn around and say no even if I wanted to so I suppose I will just have to deal with it!
Bare in mind they’ve been in for nearly 3 months…. I’m done with the sight of the kettle atm! I even contemplated getting a cheap kettle for them but then that would probably look rude and where would they keep the milk…
