Delivery man using toilet

I admit I am a bit of a clean freak at best of times. Can’t bear people wearing shoes inside etc. But really don’t like workmen, etc using my bathroom.

A delivery driver arrived earlier with some kitchen appliances, just delivering, not installing. He asked to use the bathroom and I immediately wanted to say no, as I HATE strangers in my bathroom. But didn’t feel I could refuse.

So he was in bathroom for a minute or so and went on his way. I went in to clean the toilet as I always would, and not only had he used it, but he left a big black pubic hair on the toilet seat 🤮🤮 Absolutely revolting.

Have spent 5 minutes deep cleaning and disinfecting toilet and have put the hand towel in wash because I’m so disgusted.

AIBU to refuse access to my bathroom in future? Or am I over-reacting?

i will have builders in for 2 weeks shortly and obviously they will want to use the bathroom, which I’m not delighted about but can’t be helped. Means I’ll have to clean the toilet every day, but I can’t refuse them using it.

But random delivery men - would you refuse? And what would you say?

Last time I had building work done I was asked during the design/quote stage if I would let the builders use our toilet. The alternative was to rent a portable dunny, stick it in the front yard, and add the cost to the quote.

They used our toilet.

Lol 'dunny' good word!

Clearly a lot of firms do think so, when they advise their employees not to do it.

That's actually news to me, I hadn't realised they did that. (Not had time to RTFT.)

To be honest, I grew up with the Afrikaans equivalent kakhuis.

I tone it down for Brits.
