Workman needing to loo for a poo - MN Fav

[HighPrecisionGhosts]

Having roofing stuff done.
Just walking out of the door to take the dog for a walk and they are sat in their vans.

One asks to use the loo.

OK. That is fine

He goes to the loo.

This was at 7.50am. It is now 8.15. Dog is whining. I have no immune system at the moment due to treatment so hoping he's not got nasty virus.

How long does it take to poo.....

Come on now. I'm not leaving my door unlocked.

@HighPrecisionGhosts how long was he in the loo for????? Well done on standing up to the horrible truck driver x hopefully your day gets better 🤞💐

Oh dear lord do people really do this?? Blurgh.
From your title I came on ready to say YABU but 25 mins for a poo in a clients house is not on.

No they aren't... but they must be related by bowel

I’d say it’s more the poo he’s taking.

Let’s hope it’s an urban myth but you can’t be too careful. I knew a guy who was a workie who told me they would sometimes root through women’s underwear drawers. When I had work done at home that required me to not be in the house, I collected everything in my underwear drawer and hid it just in case!

I dunno, their diets are often lacking in fibre 🤢

Reminds me of the time a workman managed to break my toilet seat. Still haven’t worked out how he managed it. It really pissed me off!

No one ever died from not having a cuppa.

I think if you're expecting someone to work for you, then you should give them access to a loo and drinking water. If you don't want to leave the house open and unattended that's fair enough but then you need to stay there in my book.

😆😆😆. We had a builder who had a similar situation many years ago. He was in the toilet on the half landing up our stairs and after about 20 minutes, with intermittent groaning, we heard the chain flushing repeatedly. He eventually trotted down the stairs and out of the front door with a cheery wave. Then the stench rolled down the stairs behind him. I have honestly never experienced anything like it - our eyes were watering and it took what seemed to be hours to get rid of the smell 😆😆

The reality is most of the workmen we get like to vanish off to a Starbucks at morning tea. Note that I think the loos there get a bashing …

And because I am arsey this morning told him to stop minimising it because its her lovely car, iys a shock when someone ploughs into you, insurance is nightmare when you are young, and she'll be off the road until it is all sorted.

So glad you were around (and arsey enough) to give backing to this poor girl. Perhaps the poo workman was fate's way of ramping up your arseiness level to the amount required for the car incident.

I am home.

I want to go out for 40mins to walk my dog in a morning.

They can manage without a loo for 40mins. They all arrive with their Costa coffees and flasks. There is an outside hot and cold tap available. Even a coffee maker in the garage that they could plug in. They have access to the garage which is vast.

They will survive whilst I walk the dog

Yes. My friend’s mum once groaned they did it to “mark their territory” on-site especially when there are only women in the house. At the time I thought what a load of utter nonsense but it nonetheless always pops into my mind if I’m home with them and they ask soon after arrival. 🤣

We moved house. Used team of movers from a big company. Less than 2 miles between old house and new house so the removers had arrived at the new house whilst we were doing final lock up of sold one. By the time we arrived someone had done a poo in the new house,in the bathroom at the top of the stairs. They'd left the door open. The stench ( god knows what he'd eaten the night before) was so horrific the team leader actually apologised.

🤣🤣🤣You have made me laugh so much whilst I was drinking tea and now it's gone everywhere.

In our company we have had workers drive to the office especially (from their house) on the way to wherever they are going that day, to have a poo. And tell us they've planned it that way.
And we own the company/clean the loo.
Gross

Well done on sticking up for that young woman @HighPrecisionGhosts - you're exactly the sort of stroppy woman I'd like as a witness if it was my daughter! 👏🏼

I was thinking the same probably on the phone.

Sadly this is no urban myth this happened to me years ago.

What pisses me off the most is I made him a bacon sandwich and a cup of tea before I left him unattended to go to work. When I got to my car I realised I'd left my purse so ran back into the house to discover him riffling through my underwear drawer.

Dirty fucker.

I was sooooo shocked, I froze grabbed my purse and ran straight to the neighbours where I burst into tears.

Sadly I was young and stupid and didn't report him. I threw away all my underwear and have never ever left workmen unattended since. NEVER.

If this happened to me now I would blow a gasket and definitely throw him out and report him.

This is why when we had our roof done, we told them to bring their own portaloo!

We tolerated workmen using our loo until once, a scaffolder used it and clearly wiped his arse with our bathroom towel instead of using toilet roll! Another time, someone had clearly stood on the loo seat instead of sitting down as there were muddy foot prints on the loo seat!

Some tradesmen are little better than animals.

Who the hell times a workman's toilet visit? Get over yourself and let the man shit in peace ffs.

Some tradesmen are little better than animals

You seem nice.

She needed to go out!!!

Works both ways. If they want access inside your home, then they need to learn to respect it!
