Until now, my family has had 4 different maids for the past 16 years (1 of em even worked for us for 9 years).
Maybe I'm being mean here but I really can't stand this maid we have now (who happens to be with us for nearly 1 year already). Already told my parents not to have 1 since my sis was going to stay in the hostel, and we don't really need a maid.
A lot of time in the morning, we're already rushing for work. And sometimes we try to look for something but we can't find, and we asked the maid, she'll look at you for 3 seconds, "you.... wait... ah....", and she walks at a speed of <1m/s to the drawer and start searching slowly. And most of the times I get pretty pissed off at her actions.
My mum said to me before, "She thinks she's a tai tai mah, everything also can do slowly.
When we go out for steamboat, she really sat there like she's a tai tai, didn't even bother to help throw in food into the steamboat at all! My mum decided to leave her at home for dinner whenever we go out for steamboat.
She also made a crack in my mum's fav-cup-for-20+years, and when my mum asked her, "How can you be so careless?! Do you know this cup is older than Ah Yen?!" She didn't even say sorry. When my mum went back to her room, I asked the maid, "Why didn't u apologise? U broke her favourite cup, u shld apologise at least right? It's basic courtesy." She actually said, "I'm scared of m'am." She makes it sound as if my mum beats her up or something...
I was trying to be nice to her since I think I'm quite mean at her sometimes by giving her irritated faces, so I thought of bringing her to shop a bit since it's near Xmas. I pressed for the lift and was waiting for her by the lift while she locks the door (the lift is just 3m away from my door), and so I think. She closed the wooden door, closed the metal gate, and locked the padlock on the metal gate only.
I was like, "HUH?! There's no one at home! And you're not locking the wooden door?? Anyone can just open like this!!". She replied,"The only time I leave the house with nobody is when I go downstairs to buy things wor." A lot of excuses. I mean it's common sense that u lock all ur doors and gates when there's no one at home, even if u're just going out for 5 to 10min right?
Then I was in the lift with her and for a just-in-case, I asked her,"Did u bring the EZlink card?" And she replied,"I don't have any EZlink card with me wor." ARGH. Then she shld've said earlier!! Had to go back to our floor, and call my dad and ask him where he had left the EZlink card.
Just now, I passed by the kitchen and saw sth which made me irritated again... We've this big plastic bag to contain bags used to contain rubbish. And I saw my Longchamp paper bag inside, together with another long paper bag shaped to contain alcohols. Can someone pls tell me, how can you hold rubbish in a paper bag? Esp when the paper bag is small?! And ARGH, my Longchamp paper bag lah!!
Sometimes I really dunno wat to say... It's like might as well not have a maid, save up the $ and we can go on a short family trip...
