to begrudgingly make the window cleaner tea?

[axolotlfloof]

I am working from home and busy.
I knew the window cleaner was coming and I have texted back to confirm access.
Same company, different window cleaner.
He knocks and says "Can you put the kettle on? Builders, milk no sugar."
The people pleaser me says "Of course" but I am a bit miffed.
I don't think he would have said the same to a man, perhaps "Any chance I can get a cuppa mate?"
Anyway I have made him a cup of tea, but am now miffed
So AIBU that he treated me like his work experience skivvy?
I don't begrudge him the tea, but the expectation (I think based on the fact I am female) and disruption.
Anyway back to work.

I tell any contractor that visits my house that i am working so can't be disturbed. Let yourself out and I'll phone later.

Me too. The kettle rarely gets cold in my house.

Plus, I used to work out in the community and I used to hate it if none of my clients offered me a cuppa. I covered a rural patch and there weren't that many places you could buy a hot drink. Once I got the measure of new clients, I used to organise my appointments so that I'd get at least one cup of tea in the morning and one in the afternoon.

The other essential was making sure you had opportunities for a pee, as some clients lived in such squalour that their bathrooms were a health hazard. One more than one occasion, my planned piss stop cancelled, and I had to pull up by some woods for an alfresco wee. That's why I would never deny a workman the use of my lavatory!

Tea from a flask tastes disgusting imo, and coffee's not much better.

@FlippityFlapperty Not on MN - apparently everyone on here goes around being incredibly rude and and abrupt to people...luckily I've never met anyone like that IRL!

I did once make tea and toast for my lovely chimney sweep, but he hadn’t asked. He’d come straight to me from his GP where he’d had fasting blood tests done, so hadn’t eaten. And I usually give him a cuppa anyway, as we are both v anti SNP and like to chat politics after he’s finished sweeping!
