well i thinkits disgusting and he should have a warning at work, the op did not say she was stressing out over it or getting so worked they couldnt think of anything else other than, they were mearly airing a grievence like a lot of people do and simply wanted to be heard, no problem there is there, if you dont like the post then simply dont reply, absolutley no need for rudeness at all. hope you all have a good day.

Well, we all know where to come to relieve ourselves now, don't we?!

A cat peeing is hardly the same, is it? I would've had a few choice words with him and called the police, as urinating in a public place is illegal, as is trespassing.

You are more than welcome, try to target my car wheels like the local dogs do, it helps to remove brake dust that builds up on them, saves my water bill, ,and I suppose helps therefore to save the planet.;)

Good plan all in all, apart from the fact that I was raised to be a decent human being, not a thug.

I would keep onto customer services and make sure I spoke to someone more senior. And I'd let the local paper know - if they contacted argos they would sit up and take notice.

Its not acceptable behaviour and I certainly wouldnt 'get over it!' If the driver was dying for a pee then he could have done what normal people do, ask for directions to a toilet! or are posters here suggesting that argos drivers some special case??? would they be happy if someone peed in full view in their front garden? sorry not acceptable, and even worse if you think that children might have discovered him. wonder where he pees when he's gardening at home??? wonder if hisneighbours would be happy about him peeing in his own front garden??

hmmph..it is, as there was a high profile case in my town where a man was fined £1000 for urinating in a public place, and was sent prison for 4 months when he refused to pay.

You misread my post. I was saying that tresspass is not illegal.

Fair enough.

It's still a pretty horrid thing to do though. The peeing, that is.

As my mum used to say "Tie a knot in it!"

You don't have to be a " thug " to have a pee in my garden, it is open to all.

Peeing in a public place is thuggish behaviour. Whether I have your permssion or nay!

Argos Direct delivered something to one of my neighbours - I saw the driver walk past the door of my flat as I was just about to leave for work. As I was leaving my building a minute later, I found the driver relieving himself in my front garden.

Which I think is revolting and disgusting (yes, it's a natural bodily function, but there are 2 service stations and a supermarket all within 5 minutes walk of my flat, all of which have public toilets and were open at the time), and shows a complete lack of respect for their customers.

I called Argos to make a complaint, the helpful Customer Service bloke took down all my details and promised that someone would get back to me.

That was two weeks ago. I called again tonight to find out what had been done and was told that they were unable to even confirm that it had been looked at, let alone whether it had been addressed. So I'm assuming that they've not done anything. I would have expected an apology, at the very least.

Help! What can I do to get Argos to take this seriously? Or should I just accept that that's how they treat their customers?

You need to write to HR Head Office, do some research and get a name. In my company reports of this nature are gross misconduct. Its disgusting, unexceptable and its a serious case of bringing the employer into disrepute.

I'm pretty sure the CEO wouldn't find it funny.

Your profile tells us all that you are a bit of a thug anyway..
