aibu..in not wanting deliverymen asking to use my toilet..

[daftpunk]

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?

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

oooh if a police officer knocked on my door to use my toilet I would faint with excitement

I would rather he used my loo than peed in a hedge somewhere !

Tell him "feel free to wee, but wee alone,anything else,wait til you get home

Just say it's broken, waiting for a plumber. And take your dildo off the side of the bath (remember that thread?)

A guy finished installing my boiler two days before christmas last year.He used a loo downstairs that we rarely use. He didn't flush it and blocked it having laid some kind of human torpedo.I didn't relise until that night when people passing the door started falling over and needing resucitation.
I had to get plumber out in christmas eve. That was cheap

crap and run merchant.

They can still use mine but now I insist on number ones only.And i go in withthem. And make them flush and wash their hands

I don't mind at all if someone asks, but the gas man repairing my boiler the other day used my loo without asking. That's rude imo.

but at least he didn't block it

of course you must accompany them!

and perhaps ask if you can hold if for them if they look inexperienced

lol morrningpaper

you could install a webcam just above your loo

that'll learn 'em

What so you could run in and drag them out if they sat down

morningpaper!

Yes. Of course I do. I actually do that. really. Not joking at all.
And they never mind.

I like the holding idea. It will avoid those with poor aim causing problems. But I wouldn't want to embaress those with small equipment so maybe I will have to fashion some kind of night vision goggles so we can turn the lights off. Exceptthat would cause further aiming problems. It is tricky isn't it.

I could fashion a washing up glove to look like my other hand so that they won't be offended by my use of rubber yet still don't have flesh to flesh contact..

I think I like the camera idea. But maybe I could add a speaker arrangement so I could just shout out if they were doing anything wrong. I would be sure to add in gentle encouraging comments so they were nottoo alarmed. Like 'Gosh well done' and 'That is a neat and clean one - good effort! Your mother would be very proud.'

It is only polite. After all we are not barbarians.

pmsl pagwatch

I let a plumber use my loo and he stomped in with his dirty boots and left the place in a right mess. Twisted the mats with his great big boots and left mud from his boots over the floor and worse still.....

he missed the loo, also and had drops of 'man wee' on the floor and loo And he left the lid and seat up.

Never again. It was so disrespectful, and I actually got a new plumber because of it - a lovely polish man who even brought his own thermos and sat outside in his van for lunch.

LOL pagwatch!

a lovely polish man who even brought his own thermos

ROFL

zazan,lol at your polish man with his own thermos

You are being completely reasonable, daftpunk.
He should have just pissed in the doorway of the tradesmans' entrance.

oh I am rofpml at morningpapaer and pagwatch........

to OP YABU....using the loo is one of those real basic human needs and rights, I would think....

YANBU

I always say no. It is disgusting.

I let one delivery man "use the loo" and he did a sh** that was disgusting and I had to clean up after - it smelt for ages.

Yes, I know

But in my defense, I work from home and don't want to be bothered by plumbers looking for the kettle etc.. I'm busy (on MN)

The last lot of plumbers I think were actually really stupid. They raided the airing cupboard and used some freshly laundered (by me) and folded (by me) towels to dry up some mess they had made.
Can you imagine! They hadn't even brought their own absorbent materials. I was not a little annoyed, and hence my admiration for the lovely Polish plumber who brought his own thermos - bless him.

Zazen...poo issues aside....your previous plumber does sound a bit odd, lol
