Grrr Cleaning People!!!! >_<

[Lizard Boy]

I HATE CLEANING PEOPLE! I HATE OUR MAID!!!! Every Saturday and Monday she comes and ITS DRIVING ME NUTS!!!!!!!! WHY!?!??! SHE FREAKIN BREAKS AND LOSES EVERYTHING!!!!! I was working on my Belt CP- left it on the table and closed this shutter thing that comes down over the desk so no one touches my work. AND WHAT DOES SHE DO!?!? SHE OPENS IT, LOSES A COUPLE OF SCREWS AND MANAGES TO BREAK THE GYRO I WAS WORKING ON INSTALLING!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: AS if my mom cares, its not her stuff that she's breaking. Plus she thinks that my hobby is a bunch of toys which don't break easily and thinks I'm the one losing screws. She's on the maid's side. ANOTHER THING! I was working on my Savex L-39 to install the air retract system. Had everything going smoothly and had everything latched in. I set it on my other table and went to have lunch. I come back and find the far end of the wing cracked and the one way valve missing. I found it in the trash 2 hours later :mad: >_> Whats worst is that the one way valve stopped working after that. She completely destroyed my Blade CX- I don't even bother to fix it and fly it anymore. There's no use. She just throws everything around. My mom calls cramming everything into boxes and shoving them under the bed "cleaning." OUR MAID HAS NO IDEA HOW TO BE CAREFUL AND WHAT TO BE CAREFUL AROUND! SHE BEARLY KNOWS ENGLISH FOR THAT MATTER AND MY MOM DOESN'T CARE THE SLIGHTEST BIT. I've been driven to insanity! Now I have to prepare for her arrival every saturday and monday by locking everything down- Then carrying all my planes and helis outside and guarding them. I-HATE-HER!!!! :mad: :mad: If it was legal I would fly my Belt CP into her head! Anyone else have these problems? :( Or am I the only curses one :( :(

Yes, life is tough.
Be comforted when you encounter these trials of life.
You are learning to cope with adversity (and carry the valuables outside).
These battles will also prepare you for marrage.

Last week our cleaning crew messed up a plastic model Zero I have on my pc tower. Sometimes they would knock the canopy off but this time it was landing gear and little bits under the fuse. It was like they knocked it off the pc into the wall. I glued it back together and put it back. It was probably an accident.

[Stef]

I'd post a comment to this but it wouldn't be very constructive or helpful.

[b-29er]

perhaps she lost a friend in that rc b52 crash.

Oh I love easy problems:

Offer to clean your own room! This would make both your mom and the maid happy, and those of us who can't afford cleaning help wouldn't think you were such a spoiled brat!

Everyone wins!!!!

Yeah that does sound like an accident. But I think our maid is doing this on purpose. This many times? Plus she always seems to make a big fuss when I walk into the room. She starts puffing air and throwing whatever she has on the floor violently. 0_0 She probably hates me for some odd reason... Must be nature.

Tried it... Didn't work... Like I said, my mom calls cramming everything into boxes "cleaning." The one thing I can't do. I can sweep and dust everything. Thats all our cleaning lady really does. I just can't cram everything into boxes where they break easily. You try cramming all your planes into a little box and stuffing it under the bed 0_0 I've also tried keeping my planes out of the way, she simply re-arranges everything the way she wants it... Even if its organized. And in that process of re-arrangement is where the stuff breaks.
LOCK YOUR DOOR!

If you don't have any lock, install one.......
Didn't try that but it wouldn't work. My mom yells at me to keep the door open at all times and never lock it :confused:

[FLDewey]

LMFAO!!! Me too! :D

[EEC]

life sure can be tough. how about this, hire your own maid for the house and save your mom some dough, or become employed as the maid of the house and when you break things you know who to fire. seriously though, buy the maid some flowers and thank her for cleaning up after you guys, start being respectful, polite, and thoughtfull, then things will change. or you could get your own place, but then how could you pay for this hobby, well, pick it up again when you are in your fortys. couple ideas or something i guess for what it's worth.

[Pinecone]

Start giving your Mom the bills.

[Offtom]

Now this is probably the most entertaining problem I've read so far on any forum. I'm at a loss for words. Out of all the advice I'm gonna have to agree with EEC. Life is tough, even with a maid. Show her some respect and maybe she'll start to return the favor.

[SPEED-E-FLYER]

[rclark]

Maid? :rolleyes: You know, if I had it that rough by golly, I'd ofter to do my own cleaning ..... problem solved. Now we just TELL our kids to clean up ;) . Life can sure be rough :rolleyes: .

[tic]

My wife is the "Maid" here at our house and every year at Christmas time things get cleaned up.. Meaning RC stuff is tossed about to any convienient hiding place she can find...It's always a disaster finding stuff after the holidays.. I feel your pain... (she accidently "stepped" on a wing once, one SHE had moved!) Fortunately we have a descent cash flow so I just replace what she breaks. No-one will ever respect your RC stuff like YOU will

[kcar]

She's probably your moms friend, and they've been screwing with you!

How do you really feel?
Don't be so hard on him because his parents have a maid. He's just frustrated somebody is messing with his stuff. He shut it in the desk, it's reasonable to assume it's away. No need to call him a spoiled brat :(

[Murocflyer]

I suppose sleeping with her would be out of the question?

[SPEED-E-FLYER]

They are not being hard on him because his parents have a maid.
They are being hard on him because he does not commutate with the people that are trying to help him.

And by communicating I don't mean "STAY OUT OF MY ROOM" in a high pitch early teenage voice.

She does not break EVERYTHING, maybe she knocked some screws off the deck once while she was trying to do here job.

Got to go

Sounds like she is completely being disrespectful of your things. If it was my maid messing with my kids stuff that I worked hard to pay for she would get some choice words and a foot in the... on her way out the door.

If she is sent out from a company call them and complain.

[rcelectfly]

SHE BEARLY KNOWS ENGLISH FOR THAT MATTER...

If she is not legal call Immigration. If she gets deported that should solve the problem. Your mom may kill you though. :)

Well I'm sure she's already been involved with the police- her son is involved with gangs apparently... AND YET MY MOM IS STUPID ENOUGH TO KEEP HER INSTEAD OF HIRING ANOTHER ONE.... OR NOT HIRING ONE AT ALL....


She does not break EVERYTHING, maybe she knocked some screws off the deck once while she was trying to do here job.
True- probably happened by accident and screws are not that hard to replace... It gets frustrating though when the actual main frame itself gets damaged. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'VE GOT A PLANE THAT WAS MADE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD 0_0 ..... YOU KNOW.... ITS KINDA HARD.... TO GET REPLACEMENT PARTS..... YEAH.... ITS TRUE.... REALLY..... IT KINDA TAKES A WHILE TOO.... THERE ISN'T REALLY..... LIKE AN ONLINE STORE.... TO BUY THAT TYPE OF STUFF FROM.... YEAH....

Sounds like she is completely being disrespectful of your things. If it was my maid messing with my kids stuff that I worked hard to pay for she would get some choice words and a foot in the... on her way out the door.

Well ya know my mom just doesn't get it. She never thinks the maid ever did anything. She keeps blaming me... As always.. Sadly she was never sent from any company. She probably isn't even a trained maid. She's a latino midget that my mom seemed to have found through a contact I think... I don't even think she knows how to clean! :confused:


Clean your own damn room you spoiled brat.

By the way, your avatar means "lazy ingrate."
I wish! I'D LOVE TO CLEAN MY OWN ROOM. I DO. But it just doesn't work! She just comes in again, does her thing, and re-arranges everything to make it look like she actually cleaned. It does? Wow I never knew you could read japanese. You know all this time I was quite sure it meant "Kami-Spirit God"

I suppose sleeping with her would be out of the question?
...

She's probably your moms friend, and they've been screwing with you!
"Helen, pretend not to know english, and go and wreck the boys Heli..."
O-MAH-GAWD! THAT IS SO LIKE TRUE! MY MOM IS TOTALLY LIKE FRIENDS WITH A LATINO MIDGET WHO'S SON IS INVOLVED WITH MAJOR GANGS AND PROBABLY CARRIES A GUN ON HIM. YEAAAAAAAAAAH. AND I BET MY DOG IS REALLY A CIA AGENT SENT TO ASSASSINATE MY REFRIGERATOR! You're so smart! CASE SOLVED! STEP OUTSIDE AND YOU'LL GET YOUR NEW LIKE FREE CAR! YAYZ!!!!!!

LOL She'd just take it out on me. I do it all too often already

Start hiding your stuff in the ceiling? Do you have a drop ceiling or vent you could store stuff while you're out?

Lizard Boy -
first of all, if someone even rearranged my RC stuff, I wouldn't shut up till I was sure they wouldn't do it again. OK I won't go into detail, I would be beyond the angriest I've ever been if someone destroyed anything RC of mine.

Get some good locks and one of those laser motion-sensitive alarm systems, so if anyone even enters your work area, an alarm will sound and your stuff will be locked up. I still can't believe anyone would treat your stuff like that.

[I.C.O.N.]

Man the stuff I found in the ceiling when I took over my older brothers room... ahh yes, the good ol' dayz

[Lizard Boy]

Hiding.... Yeaaaahhhh I don't need to "hide it." Its not like she goes seeking out my planes to destroy them. She's just not careful.. That or she simply doesn't like me. What I'm currently doing though is carrying all my planes into a safe zone aka OUTSIDE. Now try carrying out all your aircraft and working materials outside and back inside over and over again. Every week. For 1 month. The first month is not so bad- it gets annoying after that.

lol laser motion-sensitive alarms? I CAN SIT RIGHT THERE AND SHE'D STILL DO IT. Its not like she does it secretly. She just doesn't understand the fragility of these aircraft. I've told her before to be careful-She just nods her head and mumbles something which i can't understand. Sounds like "oooaaaak." Didn't work though. Same results.

[sgtdirt]

set up a video cam. catch her on tape so you can show your mom.
let the maid know your taping her cleaning your room.
she'll be extra careful once she knows that she is being watched.

leave HUGE signs that say "DO NOT TOUCH" in spanish.

[Lizard Boy]

set up a video cam. catch her on tape so you can show your mom.
lol!!!! YEAH I can predict what would happen if I did that. I do have a cam. If I were to set one up, I'd have to hook it to my computer. What she would do is unplug it, and shove it in a drawer. :p BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IT ANYWAY AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS! :p

[Laggard]

If worse comes to worse, I know some people who can put a stop to what you are experiencing.

[sgtdirt]

if your worried about her unplugging it, just sit there and tape her doing her "job".

[Lizard Boy]

If worse comes to worse, I know some people who can put a stop to what you are experiencing.
You know I was thinking about what you said before about my avatar meaning "lazy ingrate."..... YOU'RE THE THIRD PERSON TO ATTEMPT TO INTERPRET MY AVATAR ON HERE!!!!!!! :D
1. "You're avatar looks like two naked people"
2. "You're avatar is a bunch of squiggles"
3. "You're avatar means lazy ingrate"

[Lizard Boy]

if your worried about her unplugging it, just sit there and tape her doing her "job".
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah I'm sure she'd be comfortable with me following her and videotaping every single thing she does. "YEAH SHE JUST FLUSHED THE TOILET! QUICK QUICK VIDEO TAPE IT! CHECK THAT SWIRLY ACTION OUT! OHHHHHH IS THAT A BIT OF BROWN I SEE?"
My mom would just think I'm crazy if I tried video taping...

[Skrogg]

What about a few zip lock baggies?
Thinking about it I would kill to have someone come in and clean my house :)

[sgtdirt]

My mom would just think I'm crazy if I tried video taping...
it's too late, your mom already thinks that very thought. :p
so what, atleast you could proove your point. there is no denying she is destroying your stuff.

[FLDewey]

I have big problems with the staff on my Gulfstream V... they're butchers with my helis! :censored: :D

Marry her and stay there and live with your Mom.

Oh,And maybe your step son can get you in the gang.

[Carnifax]

Youth is wasted on the young

[theKM]

keep your stuff in order. A cheapo tackle box from Walmart for current-project-clutter that will keep any screws from getting away, and when you're done you close the lid and walk away. As for the obvious breakages, that's worth the complaint to your mother.

With a maid around, and a little effort to keep your current project maid-proof, I'd say you have it easy. I typically do such things, and as a reminder when I leave such screws and things out, the cats always remind me to put the current project clutter under control :)

[jasmine2501]

In my experience, even when someone doesn't speak the local language, there is one language they understand perfectly - dollars and cents. Everything that was damaged or lost has a value. All you need to do is buy replacements, keep the receipts, and send the bills to the cleaning company she works for. She will either be fired or she will straighten up... guaranteed.

[Threshold]

I may have an answer, find out what kind of creature really terrifies her and then get a pet one. Like a snake or a spider or a mouse, ground squirrel (bites) bird of prey, parrot etc. Make sure they escape and run around the room regularly.

[Threshold]

Or you could simply say you are going to have to start taking drugs because "cleaning" your room is making you so stressed.

[Kenny Sharp]

Call immigration.

[Stef]

Really give her something to do. Put you important stuf away safe and then trash your room before she is due in. After a few times make a deal leave me alone I'll leave you alone. Or trash room right after she cleans and show off her poor work to your mom.

[Tim Wolff]

Call immigration.

Write your congessmen and tell them to seal our southern border.

Slip er a few dollars to stay away from your poor disrespected equipment. Money talks and $10 a week is probably cheaper than replacing your broken and lost stuff.

It ain't easy being illegal.

[Julez]

Well, I had a problem like this, although not as bad, with my parents.
I told them always and again not to touch anything, especially electric stuff.
They did not care too much :rolleyes:
So I decided to take an old LiPo outside, and hooked it to my charger set to 8A charge, NiCd mode, 30 cells. Nedless to say, the fireworks was scary :D
I told them, that exactly this could happen in the basement every time they touch or rearrage my stuff, and the house would burn down.
They understood, and I have no problems any more ;)

[SPEED-E-FLYER]

After seeing the FIREWORKS, I would have kicked you out of the basement

[ashdec87]

well to respond to the original problem..lol. I try not to leave things out. Specially delicate stuff. I know when they're coming so i just clean up before hand. Last major damage was when they vacuumed the receiver antennae on my MUS. Ended up breaking the horz stab into little pieces... unbelievable amount of damage. from then on i do my best to get anything and everything carefully into one corner where they just dont clean. I tried telling them not to clean my room, but my mom yelled at me.. I'll give them credit, they do clean well, but you'd think they would realize that these things are slightly delicate...lol

[Hugequark]

This is such a silly thread :rolleyes: , but it does show how culturally introverted some people can be. SHE HAS NO CLUE HOW EXPENSIVE YOUR STUFF IS!!! Why? Because where she's from she probably struggled to buy her kids a 50 cent toy for Christmas. To her it's just a toy, she can't understand your heli is worth more than her whole wardrobe. I'm not saying cut her slack, or that she's the victim or anything. But you need to communicate. Try explainig it to her. Stop calling her names, and explain the issue to your mom. Speak to your mom like an adult. I can't believe she would dismiss your concerns, unless of course previous actions on your part have desensitized her from your complaints. Is that it? Do you whine about everything? "I wanted the red helicopter, not the blue one. I wanted the yak, not the edge. I want a golden goose egg NOW!"

[ashdec87]

Hugequark- lol. I'm not saying they have to realize its expensive.. Just careful around other peoples stuff. Forget teh RC planes. My static models. They broke every single one of them until i got fed up and put them in my closet. I tried telling them once to be careful. Didnt work. Put a big DO NOT TOUCH sign on the planes. Then picked the sign up and broke the planes underneath. idk..lol They've been pretty about leaving my planes alone lately.

[jasmine2501]

OK, knocking a few screws loose I can understand, but assaulting static models on display? I think that indicates mental illness. That's just wrong... :confused:

lol :p Who ever said I was whining? I'm just irritated that I have to take my aircraft outside just to keep them safe! THEY'RE LIKE MY BABIES! :D :D Okay lets not go there :rolleyes: I do agree that trying to explain to her might work but I wonder if she'll even understand it judging from the fact she doesn't know how to say left or right when telling street directions.... Instead she goes "THIS WAY!!!!! THEN GO THIS WAY!!! THEN GO UP HIGHWAY! THEN GO, GO, GO, GO, THEN THAT WAY!" :p Forgive me for making fun of her but I find it just plain funny! And besides I wouldn't whine about if I didn't get the heli or fixed wing I wanted.... I'D JUST SELL IT ON EBAY AND THEN, BUY THE PLANE I WANTED!!!! :D :p BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
