Why are they in and out of the loo?? 🧐

[Twodogsonthecouch]

I’m having some work done in the house at the moment. Just some new storage units fitted so we are still in the house ourselves. We’ve had 2 different fitters coming and going in the past few days.
the first guy was only there for maybe 1hr or so taking out the existing units. He used the toilet on at least 3 occasions. He looked about mid 40s to fifty so unlikely to have prostate problems.
Second guy came this morning. Younger, maybe early 30s. Was only there about 25 minutes before I left for work and had already used the loo twice.
I don’t have any issue with workmen using the loo I know it’s non of my business but I’m intrigued.
Why are they in and out of the loo so often??

Check phone, possibly vape, extra break

😂😂😂

Are they doing a good job? If so why are you so interested in their toilet habits? Unless they are pissing on the floor or smearing their shit up the wall then why doesn’t matter? 🤣🤣

It doesn’t matter at all, just lighthearted musing really… I guess that’s why it’s in the chat section

still laughing at the comment about the dirty washing.

Tbh people are drinking a lot more water at the moment in general. My DS carries a water bottle with him constantly, something he's done since school and now at Drama School. I noticed whilst having work carried out at my home recently that both the tradesmen declined tea or coffee and said they had a water bottle. So I guess the intake has an effect and that coupled with a check of their phones I'd say is probably your answer

Liveners!

It depends on if it's powder or crack. It's many years ago but I used to get through £100 worth of crack when Match of the Day was on and my partner had gone to bed. I wasn't addicted either, it was just a regular Saturday night buzz.

They are not checking their phones!! They are doing bumps of coke love.....

It’s coke. I was with a guy who did that kind of job and all guys he worked with was on it. And yes , you easily can do coke 3 times / hour or even more if it’s not that strong. Quick bumps. It’s very common in this profession. Better than them havin shits in your toilet 🤣

Not so uncommon...my ex was a carpenter and was on it at work quite frequently (drinking and smoking weed too). Helps them survive the days work after the night before. He often had co-workers doing the exact same.

Top correct toilet answer. Or all simultaneously! I know my builder does because he comes out looking very satisfied and/or laughing and then starts bouncing on the bed. With hilarious consequences

I know a roofer, he's on it all day and the guys that work for him, little hits of it throughout the day (coke)
Either that or they've all got a prostate problem😅

Why would they need to be in the bathroom to do coke instead of in their van?

I had two guys doing some tarmacking at our property and one of them (50s) disappeared into the toilet for 30 mins+. Later after they left I found crack paraphernalia in the bathroom

Based on my experience with my ex, him and his workmates were (probably still are) on it all day at work. He worlds for a company and has a niche trade.

Quicker I guess, no idea I don't do it

Oh the things people decide you must be up to whilst you're in the smallest room! I used to wash my hands immediately after eating my sandwich, as greasy mayonnaise residue on the fingers isn't pleasant at any time let alone in a job handling paperwork. The two ladies I worked with staged an intervention one day to discuss my bulimia and point blank refused to believe I was only washing my hands.

Me and my brother used to work at the same place, we both work in IT, he actually got me the job. Anyway, my brother, who is no longer with us, used drugs back then, this is the 1980’s BTW, anyway he’d go to the bog at work and smoke his drugs of silver foil, being the 1980’s anyone who smoked did so while they were having a poo so if kind of masked the smell, if you’ve never smelt heroin smoke it’s very distinct smell, when he used in his room at home everyone knew what he was doing. So maybe they were in the bog doing drugs🤷

Definitely coke. My builder agrees and said that it gets the job done quicker, so I wouldn't even mention it to them.

😂😂😂😂😂

I hope you aren’t paying them by the hour?

It's common among the tradies I know.

Powdering their noses

That is cause and effect reversed:

gone to loo and then distracted by phone - long visit to loo but does not explain frequency

distracted by phone and then visited the loo - frequent visits to loo but not necessarily long.
