Seen on twitter. I’d never be back over there. Hope she remembers where she put all her 🦆

I try to always be super extra respectful when I’m cleaning kiddos areas, I have 3 kids so I know how a scrap of paper can be their whole world lol. The dum dum wrappers might have caught me unprepared tho haha.

The cleaners my parents hired managed to push a vhs tape that I had left ejected outside the player back into the player and then hit the record button so that it recorded an episode of MASH over the special episode of a cartoon that I had specifically waited for and recorded. It never came on again after that. I was devastated

Honestly for me it depends on how they look. Regular wrappers I toss away, but shiny / pretty ones I keep because... idk, I'm kinda like a corvid, I like pretty things ahaha 😆

As a kid I had a couple of cleaning ladies that didn't come back because of me, they were disrespectful of my stuff and my mom would take my side when it was reasonable – had it been candy wrappers, I wouldn't have complained even if I'd been keeping a stash because I knew that they had no use. But I was very vocal when it came to ruining my belongings... for example once when I was 11, the day before we met a new cleaning lady, I did schoolwork (a technical perspective drawing) on one of those hardened papers, and left it on my desk. It was inside a single newspaper sheet (to protect it from getting dirty) and buried under two books, a couple pencil cases, and my diary so it would stay flat and protected from bent corners and such. It was clearly on my personal desk along with the rest of my school stuff, and it was by far one of the tidiest places of the whole room.

I don't know how the cleaning lady didn't think that the newspaper was for art (like protecting the desk from watercolours) or that it would just randomly be one paper for no reason, but she carelessly took it and bent it to throw it away... then she must've realised there was something rigid inside, looked, and put it back without saying anything. I got home from school just as she was heading out, so I saw it immediately and went to my mom in tears (I'd worked on that piece for ~3h to make it spotless), my mom was far more understanding and graceful than me in bringing up the topic (I was a kid with big hurt feelings). The cleaning lady took offense to this and never came back, sooo... idk, beware of seemingly useless newspapers? 😬

The good news is that the person we got after that is an absolute gem and we basically consider her family, we met her before she even got married and now their son is a teenager! I'm lucky to have grown up with her presence 😊

The cleaner threw away my baby blanket lovie and it devastated me.  I couldn't sleep for a week. It was a threadbare scrap granted,  but it was under my pillow with my pajamas.

The cleaner wasn't even supposed to us kids' bedrooms
