AIBU about workmen’s cold drinks

[Ladyofmainlyleisure]

We are having new windows and a front door fitted.
I was out all day with the dog, but when I returned DP said he’d got some cold drinks in for the fitters, as they had been asking for them.
They had been offered and had drunk many cups of tea and coffee, but apparently wanted cold drinks too.
We have lemon squash in the house which they could drink, but they wanted coke and fruit juices.

My DP went to the shop and purchased Coke and Oasis for them.

My thoughts are: they’ve had hot drinks and a suitable cold drink has been offered.
If my DP can go to the shop and purchase drinks, why can’t they?

They worked 9-5 today and will do approx 9-1 tomorrow and we live in a small city, so not long days away from civilisation!

I know it’s not the end of the world, but requesting specific drinks, that we wouldn’t have in the house otherwise, seems a bit much!

Blatantly place marking to find out what was renovated.

Another one here to see what was renovated 🤣 @Midlifelady

Currently getting my loft done. Feel like I made the wrong choice!!!!

Water's good?

Also here for the renovation info 🤣🤣🤣

Keen to know what the renovation is

There was a long thread a few weeks back about trades and food and drink

There were a few posters tripping over themselves to show how much food and drink they forced onto workmen but by and large most people would expect them to either feed themselves or take what they're given

What was the original question again? 🤣🤣🤣

Come back @Midlifelady, please!

@Midlifelady

I would have given them what I had in the house but i wouldn't make a special trip. When I was getting my joysexrenovated I would bring donuts when I visited the site. But soon they were making special requests and I was spending £5-8 a time! I stopped - there was a shop around the corner if they really wanted something they could get it themselves.

Gosh that’s an interesting auto correct..😂

@Joysexrenovation
Ahhh you beat me to it 😆

😂😂 god, I’d pay good money to have my joysex renovated

Gosh that’s an interesting auto correct

What if it wasn't an autocorrect...? That would be far more interesting 😂

Just here for the typo😂

Are you sure a doctor wouldn't have been safer?

@BadlydoneHelen

I don't know what you had renovated but I can't wait to find out

Me too! 😉

@TheMatryoshka

Oh my goodness, I've never had my joysex renovated

Me neither.

It's a bit cheeky but not a huge deal. I like lemon quash though. Just tell them to get their own drinks in the future. Withhold the tea/coffee, that'll learn 'em

Just here for the joysex renovations.

What is this joysex renovation and why haven’t I had it yet 😂

These threads are why I'm eternally grateful you can't edit your posts.

I’d happily let my electrician renovate my joysex

Also just here in the hope that Midlife comes back because I have no idea what would be autocorrected to joysex!

Looking forward to the update

What do they want tomorrow? A bowl of M&Ms with all the blue ones taken out?

@imalmostthere

Did they actually say "Can you get me some coke?"

Is it more likely your dp offered to get some cold drinks and asked what they wanted?
I've never ever known a work man to ask the client to go to a shop and get them a drink.

Yes that was my first thought too

I am also here for the renovations
