Tradesperson inviting people into my home

[IvyPlant]

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.

Clearly he's wasting time with this woman when he could be doing your work. 😡
I'd suggest, when he asks what time will you be back, say 'Not sure yet, I'll possibly be in and out all day'
Or deflect the question and ask him a question instead, just don't answer. Then dash off.

@Blondeshavemorefun shag pillow 😂😂

Are you paying him a day rate? You’ll need to knock off a whole day for his shagging time so far.

No wonder he quoted so many days for the job. If he kept it in his pants he’d be done in half the time.

It’s a revolting breach of your trust in allowing him access to your home when you’re not there. I’d be tempted, once he’s finished, to report him to his trade association.

Mn has shag /sex towels to soak up the spunk

from what I remember reading years ago

electrician has shag pillow

I bet that blanket will probably sound like velcro ripping apart when he next unfolds it

OP: 'not sure yet' I'll probably be in and out all day'
Tradie: 'yeah me too love...me too'

😂

I must find out what happens Tuesday!

If they are having an affair imagine snagging a guy who carrying around a pillow and a blanket in preparation 😂 just kills any sort of excitement really doesn't it

Oh my! I didn’t think people really did this sort of thing outside of Eastenders! Surely not? I await Tuesday in horrified disbelief!

placemarking so I can come back on Tuesday to find out the result! 🍿

I wonder if his wife puts said blanket in with his work stuff on a quick wash so it's ready for Monday morning 🤔

Place marking to find out what he says.

I’m shamefully marking my spot here 😶

From the first post I immediately assumed he’s asked her round for a shag. Cheeky dirty fucker.

I'm getting quite invested in this
I've given him a Northern accent and he's called Gary
'Ere luv get yersen on't shag blanket an assume the position. Afta I'll make us a brew, got sum ginger nuts in't cab if ya fancy one?'

Do not let this massive cheeky fucker in your home again! It shouldn’t even be a question! I have very little faith in tradesmen (which is sad, as I know they’re not all like this) but this one is taking you for a mug. I’d have to show the footage just to see how awkward he was and how he tried to talk himself out of it! Please let us know!

Shameless place marking!

Gosh,nothing like this happened when I had my house rewired, mind you they did say go out and stay out because you don’t want to see what we do to your house, I thought they meant about taking up floorboards and shifting furniture around! All looked normal when I came home at night, no suspicious blankets lying around at all.

(disclaimer , not random electricians from off the internet, both known to me.)

Oh god I hope we’re all wrong. It’s totally grim otherwise

🤔😂

Is the price of the job set or per day? If it's per job then really it doesn't matter how long he takes to complete.

If he's doing a decent job (on the electrics not her!!) then I'd let him finish the job (blimey this sounds dodgy!!) then drop in that you haven't been happy with the woman coming round.

You've got to think that tradesmen hate taking over half completed jobs and a new one might charge you to take his work out and start again, even if they didn't do that-finding a replacement might take months. If his work is ok then keep him (but remember what the PP said about your bedside table!!)

I bet this happens more than we think, I was once parked outside screw fix and saw a joiner and a woman who parked next to him jump in the back of his van and close the doors, I’m guessing for a lunch time quickie!!

🍿🤣

I think the pillow and quilt speak volumes. I’d say she is his bit on the side and you are paying for his time while they have fun for hours. I bet your job should have been completed in half the time!

I'd get some footage of him doing the dirty and send it to his wife. Cheaters are disgusting.
