    I couldn't care less. That's what toilets are for.

    I have to have tradesmen in my home for three (consecutive) days soon. They are welcome to use whatever they like.

    A gas engineer who came to service our boiler used the toilet without asking and stank the house out :mad:

    Well if he was that desperate, just be thankful that he made it to the toilet...

    :D:D:D

    Why would anyone be outraged about something like this - we all have to go!

    We had a new roof put on last year and there were 11/12 roofers here. Several of them used the toilet, why does it matter?

    I didn't like having to make so many cups of tea at once, mind. :D

    Indeed.

    Tradesmen even get cups of tea in our house. Just because somebody is doing a job for you - doesn't mean you cant be civil.

    Really annoys me when a tradesman like a electrician etc.. asks to use your toilet while on the job. i would not expect a pizza delivery guy to ask if he can use the loo nore would I ask to use loo myself at a non public location.

    Of course you can't just say no and they know this which is worse. It's invasion of privacy and think society should frown on it.

    your house isnt a place of work for a pizza delivery guy

    Well, I'd be a bit annoyed if they helped themselves to my best whisky, had a long soak in the bath then went for a kip in my bed.

    But using the bog is fine.

    We had some workmen doing a job at our house the other week. They were only there for half a day. One of them did a big smelly jobbie in the loo. My boyfriend wasn't happy about having to go for a pee himself straight afterwards! I wouldn't poop at someone else's house, but when you've gotta go, you've gotta go I guess!

    :eek: I wouldn't be too please about that either, :D, but I don't mind if they want to use the facilities. During their lunch they are welcome to watch the telly, or whatever. I am always around, so they never take liberties. As long as they do a good job, and do it on time, I am happy.

    I wouldn't be too pleased if a troll came out from under the bridge and used my loo!

    Well, he did work for a company involved in the production of gas.

    Asking someone who could be working over 5 hours on a job for you not to use your toilet is damn right mean. imo

    As for the tea and biscuits thing I finds that its help to get the job done quicker as I done this a few time and the work men didnt seam to stop for lunch.
    Same with my hubby he worked right through lunch because the customers filled him up on tea and biscuits.

    Saying that there was one lovely lady who even tried to make them a big 3 course meal. They had to tell her no because she had already stuffed them with biscuits, pop and crisps that they was ready to burst. :D
