Workmen in house why is it so awkward

[Differentstarts]

Is it just me or do you feel really awkward when you have workmen in your house. It's like I forget how to be a normal human being. I try to stay out the way but around if they need me. They are all over the house so I can't just shut myself In a room. I just don't know what to do with myself. Their really nice blokes so it's not them it's me 🙈. Do others feel like this or am I massively overthinking this

Exactly I'm generally a normal person i talk to hundreds of strangers and day in my job no problem but for some reason in this situation I just fall apart 🤣🤣

I am...the biggest arsehole- i ca skip between formal\stand offish-just gimee a yell if need anything(?)to ..."bet youve done that before/oi oii/one of the lads/nods as good s a wink-pythonesq-familirity cringe. spend 20mins planning do i iffer te\coffee/ugh then sugars milks..waitress service or-am just gony boil kettle if u wanna help self tea/coffee...usually with a awkward por placed "joke"bout give me a chance to raid your toolbox....other days im easy bout it....never know wht gony get

I'd never leave workmen in the house without either me or OH being here. We've had far too many bad experiences to risk it. I know they're not all bad, but when you've had some pretty awful experiences, you tend to be more wary. We don't hang around watching their every move, but one of us is around to "supervise" and call them out if they start to take the piss or do things wrong.
