AIBU?

To have reported this builder to his company?

We were walking past a building site earlier and this bloke who was on the scafolding shouted something down to his mate and did this irritating hand action thing. I put my shopping down and shouted back up "willy, willy, willy!" and copied the hand action. The bloke then shouted down to DH that he should keep his dog on a tighter leash (meaning me) so DH shouted back "get lost" so another builder told us to fuck off before DH ended up getting filled in. When we got home I told DH I was reporting the blokes to their company and he said not to as they could end up getting fired and it was all my fault anyway I did however report them for threatning DH. Did I do the wrong thing? I know in this current climate losing your job is a terrible thing to happen but they shouldn't have threatened DH. I am feeling a bit guilty though at what might happen, especially if they have families etc

Is everyone else imagining the "willy willy willy" in a high pitched, plummy voice?

allhailtheaubergine · 01/08/2011 08:55

Right, have just watched to 1.30 and that is not a "hand action thing". That is a pelvic action thing.

caffevalium · 01/08/2011 08:56

Allhail I am imagining my grandmother saying it in the way that grandmothers who are about 100 years behind in insult trends might do!

gorionine · 01/08/2011 08:59

Agreed Aubergine but if you pay attention, it is also accompanied by fisting 'thrust' motion!

allhailtheaubergine · 01/08/2011 09:03

No, I think the fists are closed because he is holding on.

allhailtheaubergine · 01/08/2011 09:05

Also, it is a very common 'pumping away' sex mime, not something difficult to describe as OP indicated.

allhailtheaubergine · 01/08/2011 09:06

OP - was it a single handed or double handed action? And was there pelvic involvement?

Lovesicecream · 01/08/2011 09:08

Bit of a get in there action, could have been talking about what he got up to over the weekend

gorionine · 01/08/2011 09:09

Yes that is right I forgot about the difficulty to discribe according to OP.

(only because at present I only have a big moustache!)

CupcakesandTwunting · 01/08/2011 09:11

I love this thread.

Nothing else to add, sorry.

gorionine · 01/08/2011 09:16

Oh I like your new name!

RalphGnu · 01/08/2011 09:18

My brother is a builder; I shall warn him to be on the lookout for women thrusting at him and shouting "Willy, willy, willy!" It would probably make his day.

This is bizarre.

catgirl1976 · 01/08/2011 09:30

I am imaginging the OP shouting "Willy Willy Willy" in the same manner as the woman from Brief Encounter would shout it. Can't remember her name

Splattered · 01/08/2011 09:36

It was a single handed motion.

OP could you film yourself doing it and post it on youtube to put us out of our misery!

squeakytoy · 01/08/2011 10:01

I am more surprised that anyone was actually working on a building site on a sunday....

Emilizz · 01/08/2011 10:27

I was sitting in bed drinking my coffee and managed to spill it over the sheets when I read the " willy willy willy" bit.

I didn't think that building contractors worked on a Sunday though!

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 01/08/2011 10:36

Actual tears at this thread. You bastards have destroyed my clown make up.

RoxyRobin · 01/08/2011 10:36

Lifechanger, when DH worked on an oilrig, the riposte given to some sex pest who made that offensive suggestion to one of the female cleaners was "One arsehole in my knickers is enough, thank you." (Hope it wasn't in fact DH!)

That and its variations is evidently a classic - though never had the opportunity to use it myself (she says aggrieved relieved).

FreePeaceSweet · 01/08/2011 10:45

Did you shout Willy Willy Willy as if you were singing the "Uh Well-a well-a well-a huh" bit?

Celia Johnson catgirl.

Maybe it's in the director's cut of Brief Encounter? Celia says WillysighWillysighWilly to Trevor Howard while moving her groin in a suggestive manner as he leans out of the train window.

Or does Trevor perform triumphment movement complete with arm gesture as her train leaves the station?

izzywhizzyletsgetbusy · 01/08/2011 14:30

Triumphant, even.

redglow · 01/08/2011 19:34

I think I will be the next one in trouble I keep trying to work out the gesture.

Might try walking past a building site and see if it happens to me.
