The Insolent Maid

This morning, I woke up earlier than usual. Hoping to get into work early, I turned off my internal snooze button and stumbled my way groggily to the toilet. Unfortunately, the maid was inside, washing her clothes. I waited for 5 minutes, and decided to knock.

Sleepy CY: Liz, can you let me use the toilet first, I need to get to work earlier today.

10 seconds later, the maid emerged, carrying her pail of wet laundry.

Irritated maid (in her Indonesian-accented English): Next time you want to use the toilet, tell me earlier!

CY (slightly miffed): What do you mean? Didn't I just knock on the door to tell you?

Angry and insistent maid (complete with flaring nostrils): Next time tell me earlier!!!

Agitated CY: I've already told you. What's your problem anyway? Stop giving me that attitude! (slams door)

This incident was reminiscent of the Forever 21 fitting-room incident that happened last year. Yea, remember the rude salesgirl who retorted "whatever" in my face? Do you also remember the fate that befell that unsuspecting salesgirl? Well, of course, yours truly reported her to the supervisor. Bad service is something that I could never quite stand.

Given my track record, no points for guessing what I did after this unpleasant incident. Yes smarty pants, I reported her to her boss, i.e. my landlady. My landlady replied me with this SMS message:-

"We also know she has an attitude problem. Bear with it for a few more days as we are going to send her back this weekend......"

Oh boy...no wonder the maid was in a foul mood!!!!
