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

Thank you so much to the poster who mentioned this on another thread - I've spent the evening in hysterics. Thought it deserved a bump 🤣

Don't blame it on the sunshine

Don't blame it on the moonlight

Don't blame it on good times

Blame it on the boogie

No actually DO blame it on the 'good time' LOL

I have never laughed so much at a post. I really hope you look and sound like Penelope Keith.

AquarianSquirrel · 25/05/2020 02:48

I'm back again...

Yellowwibble · 25/05/2020 05:19

I remember crying with laughter when I found ths is classics. It's still just as funny. I also picture a Penelope Keith figure doing this.

SquishyBones · 25/05/2020 05:47

@AquarianSquirrel

Are you the OP? If so was this not a joke? Surely you didn’t really do it? 😂

Fluffybutter · 25/05/2020 07:00

Oh my god , dh is still asleep so I’m trying to suppress my laughter but bloody hell this is hilarious!

AquarianSquirrel · 26/05/2020 11:48

@SquishyBones As in the thread's back again! I'm not the op. It must have been a joke..one can't be certain though 😂

I've got a really painful stomach bug and feel awful but this post has made it 10 times more painful as I couldn't prevent myself from laughing at the willy willy willy. I can't read any more I'll do myself a mischief.

MarxistMags · 30/07/2025 19:47

OMG ! WTAF ! I'm sitting here laughing out loud and disturbing DH who is watching (more) football.
This is hilarious - clearly they are bonkers 🤣🤣🤣

MarxistMags · 30/07/2025 19:50

Oh Jeez, I need the laughing reaction SO much.
This is the best thing I've ever read.

John Travolta does it in Grease if that helps? during the summer nights song

Maybe they were practicing for a grease dance competition or something

😂 This thread is hilarious

MarxistMags · 31/07/2025 00:24

Willy, Willy, Willy.
Just thought I'd correct the spelling 🤣

You stopped and got into a conversation with some builders who were already being a bit rude?

Confused

This.

Katflapkit · 31/07/2025 02:42

I put my shopping down and shouted up Willy, Willy, Willy

OP you are bloody hilarious, that's bound to join the classics like 'I just snapped and farted'

WiddlinDiddlin · 31/07/2025 03:33

I can see it..

Builder making obscene gesture whilst indicating you to his mate - using his arm and closed fist to mimic a thrusting penis, in the revoltingly vulgar 'fwoar, id stick my massive cock up that' manner.. Ugh.

I can well believe a lot of Mumsnetters haven't seen that gesture before, they're likely the ones that can't open the front door unless its for a pre-booked appointment with a visitor.

HoppingPavlova · 31/07/2025 03:40

In your complaints not to the company, did you also detail what an utter wanker you had been, or did you leave that out by any chance?

RaspberryIce · 31/07/2025 09:20

😄

UsingAMansNameInAWomensWorld · 31/07/2025 09:46

Thank you to someone linking to this

How has no one made the obvious joke of "the builders should have replies Won't he, won't he, won't he? whilst pointing to your DH and winking suggestively"

ObtuseMoose · 31/07/2025 10:09

I know ,I must have a very different sense of humour ,I font find it funny at all.

TheEndlessNight · 01/08/2025 00:33

First time reading this thread. It's pure comedy gold 🤣🤣🤣

I will never be able to look at builders on site the same innocent way again 🤣
