to think its bizarre that the Tesco delivery man asked to use my loo??

[kitty78]

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??

You are being absolutely ridiculous! What did you think he was going to do in there?

haven't you ever heard of the milk of human kindness?

My Tesco drivers do a great job and I'm more than happy to let them use the loo on the (very rare) occasions they've asked.

Someone (and not a 'random' person but someone summoned by you to the house to deliver a service) makes a simple request for the loo: does it really cross people's minds that they might be casing the joint to burgle/come back and rape them and the kids/wank in the towels/deliberately pee on the floor? I suggest that's overthinking it a bit.

'I suggest that's overthinking it a bit. '

It's happened before.

So good on you if you think people are overthinking it, but as someone who's been burlged twice and raped once it's made me a much more cautious person with regards to such things.

Tesco advertise the fact that they carry your stuff 'to the fridge door', which they do for me happily. The lads from the Croydon depot do a great job on choosing items and delivery.

Ocado, when they finally condescended to deliver, got all huffy when I asked them to carry it into the kitchen.

I figure the simple fact that the drivers have bosses who I could phone up would ensure they treated my loo beautifully!

As for using public loos - what public loos? My nearest would be at the station, library or health centre, but any of those could be another 20 min drive in London traffic.

So what if he wanted to use your toilet? YABU if you really are that precious about it you could throw some bleach down afterwards and give the rim/seat a wipe. He is a human not a robot, if he needs to go, he needs to go.

He's not aasking you to go into the loo with him, is he? So if people are nervous for reasons of rape etc stand at the front door with it open.

"could he not have just waited for christ's sake?? "

How long for?

i like these threads to be hones t ive been in agony needing the toilet int he past and i would like to treat others how id like to be treated and if i really needed to go id hope somebody would be kind enough to let me

ive had many people use my toilet ive always just said excuse the mess or let me just check my ds has flushed the chain and then can quickly hide things if needed

I had a British Gas bloke in the other week, just servicing my boiler, he must have seen how lovely I kept my toilet and asked if he could use it. Of course I obliged!

If they're polite and just doing their job, why not? I ain't got nothing to hide.

And we have a downstairs toilet but he was upstairs so used the upstairs one.

My Asda blokes only deliver to my door, they don't come in

I have a downstairs loo within two feet of the front door, so I would not find it a problem. TBH if the tesco guy asked if he could use the loo and I only had one upstairs it would not bother me, as long as he removed his shoes

Oh and not spray it anywhere or leave a skid!

Asda drivers aren't insured to come in juneybean

RE comment about using public loos, The only public loos we have (that I know of), are in the town centre. A delivery van would be too big to get in the car parks, and even if it fitted the minimum charge is about £2 which makes an expensive loo stop! Actually there are some, but as DP used to deliver within a 30 mile radius of the store (and the toliets are the other side of town to the store), he could be 30-40 miles away from them at any given time, and he wouldn't have time to drive to them unless he was delivering to that part of town anyway.
