[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If my husband were home, I'd let them use my powder room. No way would I let them use any other bathrooms. Prescription drugs or other items are in my other bathrooms. Powder room is just a vanity and toilet. [/quote]

Not OP, but not all of us have powder rooms so that's not even an option. I do agree though that I wouldn't let them use other bathrooms either.

My small house has one bathroom used by our teen DD (and cleaned up if there are guests...back when "guests" were a thing), and one used by DH and me. The latter is IN our bedroom and nope, no one is going to walk through our bedroom to use that one; I'm just not saying yes to that. The one DD uses is...the one DD uses, and I don't want a stranger in there; it's abundantly clear it's used by a teen girl, and despite the calls here to "be human" I think it's a bad idea to give away to strangers information about exactly who lives in a house. I also agree with PP re: any prescription medications etc. that could be found in bathrooms, though we don't have any in ours.

If it were someone who was around regularly, like one of the crew who do lawn work for a us a few times a year, that might be different. I would absolutely have let our previous lawn guy come in the house--I trusted him to watch things when we traveled! But random delivery people? I'd just say, "I'm sorry, that doesn't work, but there's a 7-11, a McDonald's and a coffee shop one block away." Because there are. I don't want to be heartless but it's just such a way to telegraph to a stranger who is in the home, where medications or jewelry might be (which is why no one will use my bathroom that's inside my bedroom), etc. [/quote]

What would happen if you just went about your life assuming that most delivery people were just normal people going about their work and not thieves or perverts?[/quote]
