Pet Peeves

This isn’t a pet peeve. It’s me internally being a Karen (as in I wasn’t a b!^@h to anyone to their face) and having a first world complaint.

I have my house cleaned once a month and they came here 2 hours early with no notice. They saw my underwear! (In a normal place, the bathrom, not hanging from the ceiling fan). And dirty dishes. 

But I actually had meetings while they were here because they came at the wrong time, so I have a legit reason to be annoyed. But I’m still being annoyed while having someone else clean my house so it feels bad.

A hired house cleaner should expect to see your thong on the bathroom floor.

Hold on a minute. You’re not one of those people that cleans up before the home cleaners show up are you?

I can see being annoyed because it wasn’t at the correct time but as far as your underwear, screw em. That’s why they get the big bucks….and also why we don’t have people come in cuz the wife would totally clean before they showed up. If it was up to me, I’d make sure things were extra messy first  :lol:

Years ago, we decided to have a house cleaner come in once a month. My wife then freaks out the night before telling me I need to clean this and that (pick up). I was like….Wtf?  Isn’t that why we hired them?  I learned my lesson. There is more cleaning than just picking up.

s#!t, my wife makes me clean all the bathrooms and sometimes vacuum……before our own kids come over  :lol:  I’m not joking.

My job before company comes is cleaning bathrooms. I’m fine with that. I finally understood that I’m the one that makes them way more messy than her. So…..yeah….i should. 
 

Now, the amount of cleaning we have to do before the kids come to visit is f#&%ing insane. Seriously?  We have been cleaning behind them for decades. They know how we live. They also don’t clean before they leave. 
 

It’s a WTF moment. Just don’t get it.

Replace the kids with cats, problem solved!

Also, I tell my family members they can only visit my house the day after the cleaning lady comes :P

Yeah bathrooms are my job too. But the problem is, they could already be pristine or just cleaned within the last couple of days and I’ll still have to clean them again if company is coming over. Not a big deal if it’s actually “company”, but our own kids seems kind of anal.

That’s when you just walk around….swish some water around the bowl. Make sure there isn’t anything bad somewhere….and be done.

Hey…Sshhhsh. No giving away trade secrets  :lol:

I mean that’s what I do when it’s already basically clean. It’s just annoying that somebody else is insisting it be done.
