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 Sad 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

There's a building site at the back of us (houses).
The site manager won't tolerate any wolf whistles, cat calls, sexist remarks or gestures from the workforce. He stopped them from working topless during a spell of warm weather (spoilsport). (My daughter works on the site occasionally and tells me what goes on).
He's given men verbal warnings for sexist comments etc. Never sacked anyone yet though.

Aw, I was hoping it was op back to explain exactly how her DH got "filled in"...

I'm sitting on a v crowded train trying not to laugh out loud.
Op, you could get a stand up slot at a comedy night.

I feel sorry for the OP. Not really getting the humour that posters are experiencing, they sound as much of nasty eejits as the builders tbh. It was a horrible for the builder to do to her. I'm not quite clear what happened afterwards in terms of her response. But I would have been tempted to confront them or report them, yes. Idiots.

Oh my god crafty! Like I've said- I wanted to ressurect the thread after it featured on the 'best threads ever' thread so googled it to bring the thread up rather than wading through thousands of irrelevant threads using the MN search facility
