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?

This light hearted malarkey is getting ridiculous. It's like we need a specific tick-box when creating threads, to mark hem as lighthearted. The thread titles could then appear in a different colour -maybe pink? And we could perhaps have a different font, I suggest comic sans for this as that is very very lighthearted.

Or a lighthearted topic.

I don't know. New posters must find it all very confusing.

Why do you have to change the title???

Because some people are thick and can't spot a jokey comment unless it has a big flashing sign above it.

Anyway, my story is that I was having work done, I'd had a bad call at work (but from home) and was in a furious mood. I came downstairs loo was in a v shitty state so I stomped in to the workmen, unloaded a stream of anger, and old whoever left my loo in that state to clear it up, now.

Readers, the culprit did. Then I felt like a massive unreasonable twat for a few days and thought that they'd hate me. So I made a cake and we laughed about it. But the loo remained non-awful so on reflection, I won.

Do people on Mumsnet use Mumsnet to be bitchy whereas on facebook they can't get away with it? The op has obviously gone into hiding bless her.

I am so lighthearted that I have lost my ability to type!

No need to overreact but if he's still there call 999 if you think he's about to use it again.

at lighthearted posts being in comic sans

Steady on Stealth you'll have the "don't you think the police have more serious things to deal with" brigade on here in a minute.

No need to burn down the house OP.

You just need to rip out the whole room and re-fit it!

But then you would need more workmen to do that

Or you could do it yourself.

Not 999. Maybe 101 to log it?

Can you get a Portaloo delivered before he's next at work?

at giraffes

No, I went out.
It takes more than some people with a sense of humour bypass to send me into hiding.

I am actually getting the bathroom refitted in about 2 weeks anyway so I won't have to cope for too long.

Sorry Giraffes I didn't see your post.

I once passed my bathroom and saw one of the window fitters having a pee with the door open!

It was nice that he felt so comfortable in my home .

I'm having double glazing fitted in a few weeks

Good, don't let all the miserable sods chases you off

After using the toilet did he wash his hands before dipping his fingers into your biscuit tin?

My goodness, I had no idea that there were so many poor people on MN. Surely most of us have a separate bathroom for tradesmen and a cleaner to clean it, so that we never have to enter the vile place ourselves. Don't we?

Get yourself some blinkers in case you have to pass the door Pigs

Not asking is a bit rude, I always ask even if I'm at friends (or I might actually just announce "just nipping to the loo" - I def say this even in a house where I am very comfortable such as my folks or inlaws)
