I had serious issues with a picture (supplied by Mr Meow). I wanted it centred above our table, but the table was off centre in the wall and off centre between a light switch and the phone buzzer thing.

Fortunately, it looks great where it is but it took so much shuffling and trying to decide where to line things up that I had to have a sit down.

Wild times in business bay.

Years ago we had a Singaporean Chinese amah who would alter every picture in the house as she was firmly convinced that devils would sit on level pictures. My mother would go around and straighten them. The amah could move them again. Repeated every day for a year and a half to the rest of the family's amusement.

My SIL is OCD about everything being in the 'right' place. So anything I can move, even by a couple of millimeters, gets moved on every visit. She's a bag of nerves now

Meow

You're an evil man.

Awesome. One of the lads in the office has to have everything neat and in it's place. Even ties rolled and lined up perfectly. I take joy in altering as few things as possible because you know how much it will bug him.

Sounds like the relationship between my OCD wife and the maid.

The bedside lamp is a source of constant frustration!

I used to be really bad, having a kid changed that!

Maids are always funny though, we've had pictures on the side stood back where they were but facing the wrong way, or stuff just generally moved about, like the fruit bowl (full of limes for corona, not actual proper fruit) moved from the kitchen side to the hallway.

Bizarre.

My Mrs (At home) wont use any cutlery or plates without washing them 1st and anything I wash gets done again.

mikewot

Yup! Mine ALWAYS remakes the bed, doesn't matter how I make it. She also lines up all the toiletries in height, and the remote controls by length. All cords & wires get rolled up. My underwear gets folded into squares! WTF!

You don't need a maid then....


Hang on, your wife at home? You have 2 wives? One in Lincolnshire and one in Doha? Glutton for punishment mate.

Awesome. I love some of the random stuff they do.

I asked the last one if their company cleaned rugs, she said yes and I turned to get some paper to write down their number again and see if she knew who to talk to...next thing, she's hit the deck with the dustpan brush and started furiously brushing it!

My Mum's cleaners got banned from my room when they were using window cleaner and water on my TV.

Home is here now mate.......

A maid would be a nightmare, I had a girl house sit to look after the cat when we went to Tunisia and she spent 3 days cleaning when she got home stating it was not clean and she was dirty. Obviously looked perfectly normal to me
