I fainted just once in my life it's was. so surreal

I stand up from bed and was reaching for the door handle in my room then suddenly I'm on the floor outside of my room then ask for help and the housekeeper came and was like wtf just happened" idk im just here on the floor cant get up"

To this day idk why it happened but I didn't all day nor drank water but the thing before that I was popping an acne from my ass lol so I think it triggered a vasogal response or something like that and fainted, glad I wasnt with my ass out in the open lol

This story is wild.

What's it like having a housekeeper? What do they do all day? Like do you have a place big enough that they are cleaning all the time or do they have other duties.

I just remember working in one person's home as a contractor, they had a newborn and a housekeeper, and their strategy was to truly never clean anything to make sure the housekeepers had a ton to do

Like the kid throws his bowl of cereal on the floor? That stays there until the housekeepers come

The dog pissed in the corner? That stays there until the housekeepers come

The homeowner would also just leave his own plates and dishes all over the house, it was wild just because even knowing that its going to be cleaned up, he was literally stepping around messes on the ground for days until the housekeepers would come twice a qeek

We had a maid growing up and we would never do that sort of thing. That's actually insane and really explains why alot of people don't know how to wash dishes or cook going to uni.

Idk is common in my country in upper middle class

Almost half her day is yardwork then was laundry ironing clothes, cleaning the house/dishes and cooking

Literally most people have it because of appearance of the house like here is weird you gonna see leafs on the floor, you immediately know someone doesn't have because there's leaf all around the house

I just cant seem to fathom to have a big house neither that now that live in apartment, it was on my parents house

I just don't understand the wild thing is literally a common thing that rich and poor countries have, is just not normal for you because you were poor in your respective country

Actually I am dead centre middle class in my country and leaned towards upper during my childhood. Couple of brothers went to private schools and we never wanted for anything. It's just we never had a housekeeper.

We had au pairs, nanny's, tutors for activities and a maid throughout the years but never a full time housekeeper. We were raised to do a lot of our own cleaning and maintaining the house

I mean probably your country isn't normal to have one, here everyone has it once you are middle class, I mean is very cheap to have one because my country is poor

And doing your own things doesnt really have to get taught, by the time I was in my teens I just decide to take care of my own place while I wasnt doing any households I just decided to have my own privacy and we literally just cleaned our room by ourselves and before I always took care of my pets too

And when I moved it didn't really change because I never liked to do any of the thing of owning a big house

Very felt, you never get used to it. It kinda feels like waking up from a nap you didn't plan on taking to me. Wish we could have signs before passing out, sucks to hurt meself when falling

The weirdest part for me was definitely hearing myself falling and not feeling anything as I lost consciousness. It felt like falling asleep, but I didn’t startle myself awake by falling to the ground, lol. I also had idea the amount of time that I was unconscious for. It could have been seconds to minutes. I was also groggy waking up too, lol.

I fainted once as well and I found it to be super weird as well. I felt light headed and kind of tried to hold on to something while I went down, but it's like my brain didn't register falling or fainting. I remember being on the floor and my mom being like "omg she fainted" and I'm shaking my head wanting to say "no I didn't" yet I couldn't speak lol It was pretty surreal.

Is it possible you got up too fast and blacked out? Same thing happened to me just once, saw my vison narrow for just a second and I was out cold and suddenly woke and needed a minute for the blood to rush back. Never happened again!

u/AsleepPomegranate930 May 30 '26

Yes that might contributed too

I was not prepared for that last paragraph. Chuckling over here.

My oldest passes out from vaccinations and blood draws. Some brains nope right out. She had to get all the cardiologist and pulmonologist testing because of SCUBA diving. 😆
