i had a new washing machine deliverd...he asked if he could use my toilet...he was only in my house 10 minutes...can't he wait?

i would never ask if i was a delivery type person..i would go to macdonalds.

i don't like strangers using my bathroom...aibu?

Personally I think so, we all need to pee.

2point4kids · 13/11/2008 11:49

he is most likely on the road all day and only stops for lunch. If you need to go you need to go!

So long as he flushed what's the problem? That's what toilets are for no?

hf128219 · 13/11/2008 11:50

I think you are being unreasonable. Poor guy could have been on the road for hours/feeling unwell/wanted to wash his hands etc etc.

Geepers · 13/11/2008 11:50

yabu, are you for real?

You honestly take offense at a delivery man using your lav?

Bubbaluv · 13/11/2008 11:50

If he asked to use your toothbrush then that would be different!

RubySlippers · 13/11/2008 11:51

yabu

Just put some bleach in it & clean around.

mabanana · 13/11/2008 11:51

Can't he wait for what, exactly? Until he's driven 30 miles back to his depot? We all, as someone else said, need to wee. Poor bloke!

hullygully · 13/11/2008 11:52

I would have said yabu, but recently I had a delivery man with a VERY VERY bad stomach disorder use my loo and frankly it has put me off.

PavlovtheCat · 13/11/2008 11:52

YABU.

hullygully · 13/11/2008 11:52

Actually, I retract that. All stomach disorders unwelcome, his job irrelevant!!

YABU

Would you rather he piss in your garden?

Which professions visiting your house would be allowed to use your loo? I bet if a police officer or a GP on a house call asked you would have no objections.

Is it coz he is a delivery driver?

daftpunk · 13/11/2008 11:55

it's happened a few times..i just think..why me!..how many houses have you been to...i just wanna say no...you can't use my toilet...i have a phobia about it.

I am very precious about my loo so imo YANBU

especially if he needed a shit

daftpunk · 13/11/2008 11:56

nope...i would feel the same about a police officer.

Is his piss not good enough for your shitter? That is a bit mean. What did you think he was gonna do wipe his arse on your guest towel?

jumpingbeans · 13/11/2008 11:57

As long as it was only a wee I would not mind

electra · 13/11/2008 11:57

No, not unreasonable at all imo. You don't know or trust these people.

TheInvisibleManDidIt · 13/11/2008 11:57

Do you realise most courier drivers leave their depots at 8am and don't get back until 5?

And alot take their luch with them, so aren't even stopping at a cafe to eat.

Poor bloke. Hope you let him use it.

daftpunk · 13/11/2008 11:58

yes, but i can't ask what they want to do can i?...maybe i should.

Simplysally · 13/11/2008 11:58

I think it would depend how clean my loo was if I felt offended or not. Knowing my luck there would be dirty washing on the floor and a floater from incomplete flushing sitting in the loo . If it was sparkling clean, then no problems.

yabu you numpty
