Would you let the pizza delivery guy use your washroom?

[Skywalker]

Ah, the dilemnas of life. LOL.

I ordered a pizza and when the guy came, just after I paid him and was about to shut the door he said, "Sorry, but can I use your washroom?".

My first thought was "Sure,", but then I realized I am home alone with my two young children and this was a young guy and my paranoia kicked in and I said, "No, I don't think that would be a good idea." Now, I thought I should explain to him why I'm saying no, in the hope that he would realize I was not just a witch, but that I am concerned in this day and age. Then I thought, if he IS some sicko, the last thing I want to do is tell him I am alone with the children! LOL.

Anyway, so he kind of shot me a frown, not quite a glare, but definite disapproval.

Now I know I will never order from that pizza place again because they will probably spit in my food.

Would you have let him use the washroom or am I just a wacko?

I don't think you are a wacko. You are justified in saying no. You were alone with your children. You have to be careful today. You don't know who this person was. Maybe he was staking out your house, who knows. You were right to say no. I definately would have said no. My husband works second shift and so i am home alone with my two DD. Whenever anyone comes to my door I am always cautious. In the summer when i have all my doors open and someone comes to my front door. I lock the screen and keep my ears open to hear if the other door is openeing. You never know. You did the right thing!!

NO NO NO Especially here in Miami, that would definetly be NO!!! Even if my DH was home, NO!!!! Go pee in the bushes.

 

[missypie]

No, I wouldn't. Don't feel guilty a minute because of it.

In situations like that, I always ask myself "How stupid would I look if the worst happend?" In your situation, pretty darned stupid! The police would be saying, "You mean you didn't know him at all, and you let him in your house????!!!!!"

 

[pearlieq]

If my DH were home, I probably would, but if I were alone I probably wouldn't. I'd give him directions to the nearest gas station.

 

[Skywalker]

Yes, thank you guys. It is hard not to feel guilty though, as though I specifically suspected HIM of something. Oh well, I hope he understands.

 

[Skywalker]

NO!!!! Go pee in the bushes.

 

[Jrsy Boy]

I have actually asked the pizza guy if he wants to step inside if the weather is bad or cold, but I have been told that they are not allowed to. I suppose this depends on the chain, but it is probably as much for their protection as for ours. I am surprised he would ask. How far was it to drive back to the pizza place and why didn't he go before he left?

 

[TerryKitten]

Heck, I wouldn't of let him in if my DH is home.

 

[doxdogy]

No way would I do it. Even with the dogs in the house. Better safe then sorry!

 

[disneymama73]

I probably would because I am soooo naive. I would be nervous about it though if I was home alone with the girls.

 

[Cindy's Mom]

Not in a million years would I let him in.....how far can the pizza parlor be? A mile at most? And he can't wait? He didn't want to use the restroom, he wanted to do harm! You did the absolute right thing! Bravo!

 

[happybratpack]

No way. I am, however, a weenie when it comes to saying no so I'd blame it on the dogs.

 

[disneymom3]

Uhhh, no way in H!

 

[phorsenuf]

I guess it would depend on if you order pizza often from the same place. We usually do so we see the same guy many times. I would let him use my bathroom. Same with the Chinese delivery guy.
I'd keep the phone in my hand just in case but I wouldn't say no.

No way! He shouldn't have even asked. He can get right back in his car and drive to a different potty! I had my carpets cleaned a couple months ago. As they were leaving one of the guys asked to use our bathroom. I let him, but I wasn't thrilled with that either. I guess I am the witch! Anyway, I really find it weird that he asked.........

 

[PlutosFriend]

NO NO NO Especially here in Miami, that would definetly be NO!!! Even if my DH was home, NO!!!! Go pee in the bushes.

But not at my house please

 

[Minnesota!]

I will be odd man out. I would have said sure! I am not that paranoid.

Sure, the parlor might be close, but he probably has 3 other orders in the car before he can get going back to the parlor.

 

[Zandy595]

Depends, was he hot? JK No Way!

I'm with you. What's the big deal?
