I could hardly say no could I, but it still doesn't quite sit right - could he not have just waited for christ's sake??

I take it you never allow male friends to use your bathroom then

FAQinglovely · 14/04/2009 00:44

nor must you have any boys.........because they do most of the things you mentioned in your last post without even trying

KittyBigglesworth · 14/04/2009 00:45

Of course not I hand them an empty juice bottle

FAQinglovely · 14/04/2009 00:47

I presume you sent then outside to use the juice bottle.............as they wouldn't stand a chance in hell of aiming well enough to get it in

KittyBigglesworth · 14/04/2009 00:49

You must know some very incontinent and ill bred men.

FAQinglovely · 14/04/2009 00:50

no I have 3 boys..............

KittyBigglesworth, I think you're the one who wants to get real. Going to the toilet is a basic human right. Yes you get the odd slob with bad toilet habits but most people only ask for the loo when they have to go. If someone wants to loo, at the end of the day, what's the issue? Only snobs have a problem with someone asking.

No, it's the distinction, for me at least, between having a lavatory in a hallway, that's fine for anybody to use (so long as they're reasonably polite) and for some (living in London, where space might be at a premium) of having their sanctuary of a bathroom, with many personal products, being used by a stranger. If this makes me a 'snob' then I suppose that I'll freely have to admit to this accusation. The poor delivery man will have a very wet and wild time by the time he gets to the next more charitable customer, he'll positively explode

FAQinglovely · 14/04/2009 00:58

???? so London is the only place in the country that has dwellings that only have one toilet, that isn't in the hallway?????

FAQinglovely · 14/04/2009 00:59

and lockets - you're welcome to come and pee in my toilet any time you want if you're in the area [bwink

FAQinglovely · 14/04/2009 01:00

and despite the fact that in this house I do have a downstairs toilet in the hallway I'll even let you use the upstairs one as it has a nice wooden seat rather than the horrible custard yellow plastic one in the downstairs toilet

Do tesco staff have toxic piss?

Tortington · 14/04/2009 01:04

i would have said no on safety grounds.

i don't imagine this is something that tesco condone.

however, if sons or dh home, i may have said yes. depending on my mood, what i was doing and if the house/bathroom was clean.

and it wouldn't occur to me to say no on the grounds that he might wipe his knob on the toothbrush - i mean who thinks like that? with a thought process like that one could presume this

you say no

he remembers

pisses on your fresh produce, shakes it dry - next time time.

you go to a restaurant, you automatically assume they are going to wank in your curry/ soup

you never go to a public toilet becuase of the amount of things ones imagination can assume.

its ridiculous. you would wear gloves all the time and never turn a handle in case the man in front didn't wash his hands after holding his dick for a piss ( which dh says is disgustingly frequent)

KittyBigglesworth · 14/04/2009 01:06

lockets - I think it says more about your kind and postive nature (and I don't mean that in a derogatory way) than it does about the reality than I've experienced. I'm not so bad, like I said, most of the Ocado men are quite charming. Sadly, most of the Tesco men that have ever delivered food are absolute oafs.

I'm clearly in the minority here and accept defeat, I'm the odd one. Off to bed now.

steviesgirl · 14/04/2009 01:07

I reckon so twinsetandpearls. You mustn't let some scumbag delivery person into your home; it would take a whole year to get rid of their contamination of your bog.

FAQinglovely · 14/04/2009 01:07

are delivery drivers not CRB checked >> I would have thought they should be given the nature of their work no????

IneedAbetterNickname · 14/04/2009 01:08

no they are not crb checked

FAQinglovely · 14/04/2009 01:09

really I thought they would be going into people's home and all that

hmmmmm

I'd still let them have a piss though if they needed on

twinsetandpearls · 14/04/2009 01:10

Do you know next week when my bottom set year 9s are messing about I am going to go into the pupil's toilets and piss in their sinks. That will show them.

twinsetandpearls · 14/04/2009 01:11

pmsl at Ocado delivery men being OK but not tesco.

IneedAbetterNickname · 14/04/2009 01:12

I was speaking to OH about this. Drivers are not insured to enter people's houses, so technically they shouldn't carry your shopping past your front door step. Luckily for OHs customers he would willingly carry it into their kitchens, expecially if they were elderly, pregnant, had a child hanging off their legs etc. And luckily for him the few occasions he asked to use someone's loo they always said yes. As for 1 delivery an hour, where did you get that from? Christ, he wishes!

Christ. I hope you're not teaching your pupils English.
