AIBU to be livid at kitchen fitter for pissing all over my bathroom like a bloody tomcat?

AIBU to be absolutely livid that my kitchen fitter pisses all over the toilet and the floor every time he uses the facilities. He must have a "sprinkle-cock" Fireman Sam would be proud of. And not only that, he flushes without putting down the lid of the toilet so aerosols of his piss float through the air coating the immediate area around the loo. Every time he goes in there my whole body tenses and I have to go in after him to mop up the worst of what's on the floor so it doesn't get traipsed through the house. I have carpet ! ! ! ! ! And I know I'll be scrubbing away as soon as he leaves this evening.

My BP is up and it's only day 2 ! Oh god I could swing for him!!!

I don't let workmen use my toilet,this kind of behaviour is exactly why.I already said no to one last year who turned up and immediately asked to. I think they went to a neighbour.
Tell him he can go in the garden like all the cats do next time or go on his lunch break to the local supermarket.

As soon as he's finished with the kitchen, call his company and complain. Send the complaint in writing too. If they have a FB page, complain there too.

Tell them you will not be recommending the company to anyone purely because their employee thinks its OK to piss all over customers' homes.

The filthy pig.

I'd be absolutely fuming!
I once had work men in from the council for a kitchen fit. There was about 4 of them,one of them decided to take a shit in my bathroom,he used a stupid amount of air freshener,& left the most ridiculous amount of skids behind,along with using loads of loo roll! I get sometimes,they must get caught short, but it was awful!
Not only that,he opened the window so wide,when they left, because the wind blew through the house, I heard smashing noises,went to see what it was & the designer, quite expensive perfumes I'd got on a shelf had got knocked off from the blinds blowing,all three of them were smashed in my sink!! After numerous phone calls, they agreed to come & replace them,they never did,I was absolutely livid!!

Sorry but personally I'd say something. Id say if he cannot pee straight or he cannot be clean or clean up, the door will be locked and he can go elsewhere. If you are not that way inclined put puppy pads around the toilet with a sign saying peeing on the floor/ toilet seat is not acceptable.

Omg I feel your pain. Years ago (previous house) my Moben kitchen years ago was fitted by a man who went for a massive no2 every morning and didn't then go in the bathroom to wash his hands (we had a separate loo). I was pregnant at the time and used to cry about it. Stank the bloody house out as well. If it happened mow id cal the company. I'm not paying 1000s for that!!

BCBird · 20/03/2026 19:57

I would have to say something. Saying something is not deliberately trying to embarrass him. There is no excuse for such Slovenia behaviour.

Even workmen are human. It's basic human decency to let the people who are in your house use your toilet. I loathe this attitude.

Fair enough, if they make a mess, tell them to sort it out, and if they don't, tell them to go elsewhere, but from the outset, please for god sake just treat the workmen the way you would anyone else who was in your house for the day.

MurkyMo · 20/03/2026 08:52

😩I can't. I can't deliberately embarrass people. Assuming he'd even be embarrassed. My electrician is the same but he's an absolute star so I wouldn't say anything to him. He only did it once anyway, he's so efficient he's in and out in a flash.

Just say something!
It happened to me once, I was 25 at most, moving to my first flat in the UK, so foreign country for me. One of the movers left a mess in the bathroom (and then left!), I went to see the guy who looked like the team leader, asked him to come see for himself and asked him to clean up! In my mind there was no way I was cleaning that myself! And I also queried why this guy came apparently just to use my bathroom.

Edamcheese · 20/03/2026 20:05

I would cover the area in thick plastic. He will get the message when he sees this on the floor. No need for any words. But I’m afraid I’ve had disgusting tradesmen use my toilet they have a shit and don’t even wash their hands yuk.

Bertiebiscuit · 20/03/2026 20:06

MurkyMo · 20/03/2026 08:33

Is it a territorial thing?? Well this isn't his territory. I presume he's as bad at home. His poor wife.

Lock your bathroom, tell him to save it or use the garden. He's disgusting.

Portakalkedi · 20/03/2026 20:26

Dirty bastard. Yes you must say something, even just that you don't have time to keep cleaning the floor after he's been, etc. How on earth can a grown man carry on like this (if it's not deliberate)?

Lovesacake · 20/03/2026 20:27

You should do what I did, I messaged DH moaning about the filthy builders leaving skiddies in the toilet but accidentally sent it to the head builder. It did the trick

It's not a legal requirement. Is it also 'basic human decency' to be expected to clean up after them too as most of them probably wouldn't clean up if they behave like that?
A lot of them don't behave like humans judging by some mentioned by other PPs, so...they can go elsewhere.
Well, don't moan next time you're cleaning up after them.
There's a very big difference between guests and workmen btw.

That is a quite a privileged mindset to think everyone can risk letting them use it and just see how it goes.

What woman really wants th hassle of confronting a tradesman in her home and tell him to clean up his mess? Would you even trust him to do it properly since he’s clearly unhygienic if he’s left the bathroom in a state?

And if he doesn’t do it then you’re left with a mess to clear up.

There’s plenty of posters who have said they’re disabled and did you not consider they may struggle to clean up the mess afterwards which some have said they can’t do?

I don’t let tradesmen use my bathroom either. Thankfully there’s a communal one in the apartment building they can use, but if not they’d have to make their own arrangements like so many do anyway.

Not all tradesmen insist on asking to use their customers toilets.

Be angry at the many who behave poorly in people’s bathrooms thus making it to much of a risk for some of us to let them have access.

SemiRetiredLoveGoddeess · 20/03/2026 23:08

What a dirty, disgusting get. I would take a picture of his piss pools and post them to his boss or company.

I would ask for another workmen to finish the job. And fie a discount.

I would not have him in my house.

PorridgeEater · 20/03/2026 23:51

Can you leave a polite but firm message in the bathroom?

Doggymummar · 21/03/2026 07:34

I've been married three times, had live in boyfriends brothers etc and can honestly say this has never happened. Who are these men?

Spiderx · 20/03/2026 09:14

You shouldn't have to put up with this. As a grown man ,he should do the " shake" before starting to pee...that is like un- kinking a garden hose so there is some direction control. Often remaining tucked in our underwear for a few hours our appendages need straightening out before use ! Easily done by giving it a quick " dry shake".first before the flow starts. Don't know how you would be able to advise him about doing this though ?!

Well you learn summat new every day! Thanks Spiderx :)

SplendidUtterly · 21/03/2026 07:57

"His hose obviously isn't long enough for him to aim properly" <-- I was told by a angry relative who had a workman in who pissed all over her toilet seat/ floor 😂

AdaDex · 21/03/2026 08:41

I think in future I'll just give them a fiver to go to the cafe down the street. They can buy a cuppa and use their toilets. This thread has inspired me to take back the power 😁

godmum56 · 20/03/2026 11:06

my first thought was "did their mothers not teach them better or tell their fathers to teach them?" As I have said, never had a tradie who did it or a friend or guest. My favorite tradie was one who was here for weeks and always used the airfreshener spray after he had used the loo.

Edited

OMG women are even responsible for how men pee! Someone needs to read that book ‘Why Women are Blamed for Everything.

JustNotHappyReally · 21/03/2026 08:57

I would have to say something how come you have not said anything?
