I don’t have time to read the whole thread; I just wanted ya’ll to know I’m not avoiding you on purpose. I will say that regardless of various less-than-complimentary sentiments, no one is going to change my mind. I’m satisfied I’m not a jerk and my complaint is warranted, so there ya go. As you were. ---

Why do I picture the OP as having a bathroom filled with [decorative soaps and towels](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=299118) that should never, ever be used under any circumstances? > [@Sat on Cookie](#): > > Take your _ **fat ass** _, get in your van and go to the local gas station. Wow … ninety-something posts, and the “why difference does it make that they’re fat, you sizeist!” crowd hasn’t checked in yet. The Pit ain’t what it used to be. Anyhow, if someone working at my house needs to use the head, I’ll gladly show them the way, and make sure it’s loaded with toilet paper first. It’s just a common courtesy that I would want extended to me, if I was in the same situation. Sometimes my shit literally doesn’t stink. Sometimes I leave a peeler. If someone gassed up my bathroom, it’s karmatic payback for the load I might have left at a friend’s house in the past. Turn on the vent, light a candle, spray some Lysol around, and be thankful you’re not cleaning the dirt and pet urine-encrusted carpets of strangers for a living. ---

> [@CanvasShoes](#): > > I have to admit, and I’m probably the only one in this thread, that strangers using anything in my home makes me feel a bit oogy. Me too. But, apparently like you and unlike the OP, after they’ve left I break out the Lysol and the toilet brush and make everything all better. I’m also (like others here) getting a distinct sense of classism from the OP. Talk about stench. ---

I’m so glad I read this thread. The cable guy is coming to work on the modem today, so I’ve double checked the guest bath to make sure it’s stocked with toilet paper and a handy can of aerosol disinfectant in the top drawer. ---

The cable guy is coming to work on the modem today, so I’ve double checked the guest bath to make sure it’s stocked with toilet paper and a handy can of aerosol disinfectant in the top drawer. And remembered to have her husband reschedule his lunch so that he could be home with her when the cable guy arrives- in the event that 70’s style porno music starts when he walks through the door, I’m burning the house down. Damn cable guys…not as bad as pizza delivery, but right bastards all the same. Seriously, when I have anyone working for me- contractor, repairman, etc. I make sure to offer them a beverage, a snack if I have anything handy, and let them know where the facilities are. I also make a point of shaking their hand before and after the job is done, and let them know if they need anything to just ask. Funny thing- I’ve never been the victim of poor workmanship on a contracted job, and I’ve never felt cheated by the bill. Coincidence, surely. ---

I think it’s a nice gesture to leave a can of air freshener out where it can be seen by those who are embarrassed about making a stink. **Sat on Cookie** , You should also ban young children from using your bathroom. I can’t count the times when the house has been full of kids and I’ve walked in the bathroom to find an unflushed load. Those little fuckers don’t wash their hands either. ---
