There is a workman in my house and.......(lighthearted!)

[Pipbin]

.........he has used the toilet without asking.

AIBU to scrub the bathroom with bleach and then burn down the house?

Sympathies, SparklingBrook.

Lemon he didn't have a cup of tea either, or a chocolate digestive I had bought specially.
This irked me because my friend's DH used to be a tv repair man and would refuse a hot beverage if he thought the client's kitchen might be unhygienic.

Bloody hell, all the stuff going on in Paris and you post a thread about a workman using your toilet without asking. Get a grip OP.

Splatter have you read the thread? It's lighthearted.

Pipbin you need to get the title changed. Apparently.

Yes, sorry OP. I'm waiting for news from Paris and I overreacted.

I agree that the number of people thinking the OP could possibly be serious (burn the house down???) is bizarre...

I started a lighthearted thread once and forgot to say it was lighthearted. Still slightly singed.
But of you put lighthearted people don't like that either.

Sparkling I'm sure your kitchen is spotless. You just got the one weird person who would refuse tea and a biscuit.

I inherited the need to feed anyone who walks through my front door from my nana

I've reported to MNHQ and asked for the title to be changed. Ffs

I even hoovered behind the telly cabinet, nearly giving myself a hernia pulling it out and he didn't look behind.

If I get a satisfaction questionnaire from Sky I will complain profusely (lighthearted I won't really).

Why do you have to change the title???

Anyone who reads MN regularly understands that some people have a huge problem with other people in general, and workmen in particular, using their toilets!

There is a lot of bitching across the board this morning, some right nasty cunt like postings .

I feel as if I have committed a huge faux pas.
Yesterday I had three chaps fitting our new double glazing, I told them where the loo was, made them coffee and gave them chocolate brownies.
They, in turn, in pretty awful weather conditions,, took out our hideous concrete framed windows, fitted beautiful new windows, hoovered each room they had been in (which ended up being cleaner when they left than when they arrived) and to top it all they apologised if we found any little bits of concrete in the garden as it was getting dark when they left.
I should have made them wee in the garden shouldn't I?

Men of the Lower Orders visiting the home of an MNer should be be provided with a washer and a cork

I certainly do not think of the Sky Engineer as a 'Lower Order'. If he can fix my Sky problems he's a top man.

Sparkling I'm a tradesman and I don't drink hot beverages unless I'm really poorly. It's got nothing to do with the cleanliness of the house (although some would put me off if I did!). I do get a lot of faces when I refuse the tea.
The biscuit refusal is just weird though, especially a chocolate one! You never say no to a biscuit!

skanking you need to say 'no thanks' then add 'but it's nothing to do with the possible cleanliness of your kitchen'. I would make you have a cold drink though. Force you into a Ribena.

Pipbin get on the phone to the estate agents immediately , you can't possibly live there now

(and just in case there's any doubt from anyone my post carries the tag)

Is the work that he has done any good?

If not you might let it go just this once!
