Tradesperson inviting people into my home

1000 replies

Currently got a tradesperson in to do a job. They quoted me a day rate of 8 days work (which I think will take less time than that, but they're the expert...)

Anyway, that's not my AIBU. I checked my security footage this week and noticed a woman popped round to my house when I was out and tradesperson was working alone in my house. I can only see her walk past my front door to the back garden gate, she knocks and then the feed ends. She's seen leaving 4 hours later. The next day, same thing, except 3 hours.

At present the tradesperson gets here for about 8am and has already stopped working by 3pm. So that's 7 hours of work, fair enough, but 4 (and 3) of them an unknown woman here is (it's not his wife, I did a little social media digging and it's not her).

AIBU if I question him about it next week? He still has 4 days left to finish the job next week and I don't l like the fact there's an unknown and univited person in my house when I'm not there, plus, how much work can he really be doing if his "mate" is there for 4 hours.

Waiting for Tuesday 👋

It's like waiting for a slow mo car crash to happen!

Mummapenguin20 · 18/09/2022 20:19

Here for the update 🙈

CountessWindyBottom · 18/09/2022 20:26

I'm literally counting down the hours until the update. It's not just that it's all a bit cheap and nasty but the fact that the cheeky bugger is charging YOU a daily rate while he spends half of that shagging is a bloody liberty!

bubbles27 · 18/09/2022 20:28

Never have I been so invested in a post!!

He's definitely shagging!

Lipstickjunkie · 18/09/2022 20:36

He's 100% shagging his bit on the side in your house/garden rooms 🥴

GG1986 · 18/09/2022 20:37

Haha i wonder if him or the other woman are going to see the post on the mirror and be like "oh shit this is about us" 😆😆😆

Aussiegirl88 · 18/09/2022 20:58

All of us that are waiting until Tuesday you do realise she only came later in the week.

So we may not even get a proper juicy update til days later if at all.

Still waiting and shamelessly place marking

Timeforredwine · 18/09/2022 21:04

Oh my just started reading from beginning. Going to take a while but need the conclusion!!!

SparkyBlue · 18/09/2022 21:19

If you were happy with the price and he is doing a good job then honestly I'd laugh it off. I wouldn't like it but I'd say nothing until my electrics were sorted. Decent electricians are like gold dust around here

No! He's ripping you off getting you to pay for full days when he's spending half of them shagging someone in your house!

Hmm1234 · 18/09/2022 21:29

Can’t he tell you have cctv? If not I’d say he is using your address- work for an affair

Cazzie1206 · 18/09/2022 21:49

Can’t wait till Tuesday’s update

He's using your house as a shagpad.
I would accidentally put the picture on his fb profile saying "Hi builder, sorry to text you on the weekend but I just noticed this woman coming and going in my house and wondered if she's someone who works for you or has told you she knows me. Just a bit concerned if someone's been talking their way into my house while I'm not there!" Like I'd play the absolute fool, god I have no idea why there'd be a woman in my house, I can't work Facebook, looks like I've messaged you in the wrong place etc.

I agree

This has already made it on the mirrors Facebook page 10 mins ago🙄

'Sake!!!

Macanncheese · 18/09/2022 22:22

Oh I’m so shamelessly following this!

You do know this is completely unprofessional and unacceptable, don’t you? I wouldn’t have him back in the house.
