To expect the cable guy to NOT stink my bathroom out after I have just bloody cleaned it.

[tiredemma]

just had two cable guys here changing over my broadband socket, they were downstairs, i was upstairs making my bathroom pristine.

before they go, cable guy one asks to use the lav, is AGES up there- I go up to continue cleaning and it bloody STINKS!

Its bad enough having to put up with dp's toilet smells, without having to smell the guts of a stranger.

vomit.

I think it is the height of rudeness for a workman to have a poo in my loo

i HATE IT

I would complain to the company as I think that is disguisting.

Had a plumber out a few weeks ago. He arrived 15 mins late, said "mind if I just use the loo?" and headed upstairs for about a week. I took DS upstairs once he came back down, to keep him out of plumbers way, and accused poor DS of having had a poo as it STANK SO MUCH upstairs. Bleeeurrghh.

plumber's way... oops

Just phoned dp at work to tell him that the cable had been changed over ( he is anal about wires hanging around etc)

told him about cable guy and he pissed himself laughing.

It must be some kind of idiotic bloke thing to find it acceptable and humourous to stink someones lav out.

Yep, my DH thought it was perfectly reasonable for plumber to "drop a log" in our loo. I know it is reasonable, if you are out on jobs all day you have to go somewhere, but why MY house????????

Complain to company?!!

What's the guy supposed to do? Shit on the lawn, or ensure his shit come sout smelling of roses?

FFS.

Unreasonable yes.

You are being unreasonable. If you didn't want him using the loo you should have said no.

Have we really had 9 messages and not had a joke about "laying some cable" on here so far?

I can't believe it

Did he put his penisy hands all over your bathroom too, do you suppose?

I think he is on CableGuysNet right now boasting about the massive dump he had in your toilet

You obviously aren't using enough air freshener(s) !!(see marketing thread). Did he do anything to mitigate the whiff (open window etc)? I don't think you can complain as he did at least ask and you gave permission ! Not nice though.

Just wondering how you would actually word that complaint

But yuk yes!!

Have you gone to clean it yet with a peg on your nose, rubber gloves and bleach?

just the thought of a stranger sitting on my loo would have me scrubbing the toilet, and all the surrounding area. That is men for you.

I am lucky, after a fall down stairs i can no longer smell or taste anything i live with my dp and 3 sons age 18, 15, and 9months so you can imagine all those horrible smells.

From now on, offer each workman a champagne cork on entry to the house!

Just say you're not insured in future !

I think it's gross as well. Unless I was staying the night in someone's house I wouldn't dream of using the loo for a poo.

DH can't use anyone else's loo and this causes serious problems if we go away

what? you can't be serious, what are toilets for fgs?

you should have given him a nappy

Yup. My dh also thinks it's not only acceptable, but amusing for a workman to lay some cable in someone else's bathroom.

You'll be thinking for weeks now of his hairy buttocks on your loo seat won't you?

Mind you I suppose we all find ourselves in this situation whilst at work from time to time don't we?

Perhaps you ought to feel honoured that he wanted to spend some time in your lovely sparkling lav.

LOL Hunker. Had forgotten all about those penisy hands..................

Have you checked for pubic hairs, that would be nasty

I tell them, 'Sorry, no customer toilets'.

I vomit so easily, I'd have come downstairs and puked on him.

I really would have.

And then said, 'Thanks for stinging out my restroom, you rank punk ass.'

had th eplumber round yesterday and he left dog shit off his shoes all over my cream carpet.. at least he admitted to it, but he didnt offer to clean it up (could have been mud, but looked suspiciously 'light brown!)
