arrogant maid of a foreigner

[Bogan]

Happaned to my mum. This kid and her maid was painting at our paint shop one day, the kid had her own design for her mug as she asked my mum to put stickers in the end.

Right after my mum left the maid picked the mug up and painted it her way. :ugh:

then my mum asked why she didnt put the stickers like the kid wanted and she yelled out 'wala ka naman sinabi eh'

My mum got ticked off and said ' ah eh english pag sabi ko hindi mo lang siguro maintindihan'

score one for my mum lol

[pobreparin]

same goes with some drivers of foreigners or rich people....kapag anjan ang mga amo nila, akala mo di makabasag pinggan, pag wala na, akala mo kung sinong hari kung magmaneho at umasta....
but as always they are more of the exception than the rule...marami din naman akong nakilalang mga helpers ng mayayaman and foreigners na likas na mababait.....

You really can't expect much from a maid. Good luck with the settlement, hopefully it's not that bad. You could have told the foreigner to let the maid pay for the damages. That should teach her.

di kasi agad na-process ng brain ng maid na hindi biro ang nagawa nya.that's why she just looked at u na parang wala nangyari.

sadly, there are still people who don't understand that when u scratch or dent someone's car, big deal yun.

Ay naku med pa, tama si uls nagka lag ang utak non delay ang processing. Pero kung sinampal mo yung malamang na process nya agad na mali ginawa nya.

It's a good thing that her American boss was kind enough to fix the situation her maid got into. Don't expect much from maids (hindi naman lahat) but a majority of them don't have the right manners probably because of their upbringing, it's also good that you kept your cool and the situation was resoved.

they wouldn't know the impact of what they did to others' belongings, especially expensive ones, since they themselves can't afford it and don't know the value of it.

try to tell her that the damage costs 1 year of her household service. ewan ko lang kung magkalakas pa siya ng loob na tamaan yung tsikot mo

Wow... i could not believe what i have read in this thread. Ang sakit ng loob ko nung nabasa ko mga quotes dito. Too much stereotypes/ prejudice against maids in this thread na yung iba, hindi ko na quote. Guys/gals, they are the people who takes care of our children, help cook our meals etc etc and what, for a paltry sum all because they dont have a choice. It is very possible that the maid did not notice the car beside it since mataas yung expedition. di naman nila gusto maging mahirap di ba? di nila gustong iwan pamilya at anak nila para magalaga ng ibang anak or maglinis ng ibang bahay di ba?

i hate resurrecting a 4 year old thread and start appearing as confrontational but i just could not keep this to myself. pasensya na sa mga na-quote ko

[chua_riwap]

he-he! di nakita nung maid yung car beside the expy? ang laki nun, bro.
mano ba naman bago buksan ni maid yung door, i-check nya muna kung may katabi yung expy nila.
kung may tatamaan o wala.

& baligtarin natin.
kung sa 'yo nangyari at nagasgasan/nakupi yung tsikot mo, ano kaya magiging reaction mo bro?
ok lang ba sa 'yo?

hindi naman sa inaapi ang mga maids.
applicable para sa lahat yan, hindi kelangan edukado ka para iwasan yung pangyayari.

[Noel Salisipan]

Hindi lang naman mga maid ang may ganitong perception. Pero hindi natin maiaalis na marami sa kanila e hindi kagaya ng concern ng mga tsikoters lalo na pagdating sa pagiingat ng mga car natin.

Pero aminado, yung mga walang car at hindi pa nakakasubok na magkaroon lalo na ng brand new e hindi ganun ang pagiingat lalo na kung may nasasagi. Pero yung mga may ari ng car at sila pa mismo ang nagpapalinis o sila mismo ang naglilinis, tiyak iba ang level of concern.

May mga yaya rin ako, pero ganyan ang concern ko pag sasakay at bababa sila ng sasakyan, "mag-ingat" ng hindi makasira!

[BratPAQ]

baka laging sinasagot ng amo kapalpakan ng maid nya kaya malakas ang loob ng maid, kung sa sweldo ng maid ibabawas lagi yung mga kapalpakan nya eh magtatanda yan.

Likewise with me, sir. You take pains in making sure that despite all the stuff you have to lug around, you do not touch/scratch the car next to you. Kahit sa oto mo na lang maidikit kung kinakailangan. And here comes your yaya, without a care in the world.

[renzo_d10]

Ganyan din Katulong namin, sukat ba naman buksan agad yun pinto buti nalang nakahinto agad yung kotse. kung hinde nako wala na pinto sasakyan ko

We threat our help as part of our family. We even offer education to who are willing, para naman pag nakapag tapos sila eh di graduate na rin sila sa pagiging house help.

Alam mo ba kung ano ang masaklap? Mas pinili nilang mag boypren.

We also help them as much as possible... Automatic utang dahil mapuputulan na ng kuryente tinitirhan ng magulang nila, medical assistance is also extended to the family of our house help.

Alam mo ba kung ano ang kinalabasan? Abuso at kami pa ang lumabas na masama.

Kaya wala muna kaming katulong sa ngayon.

i thought this was about their wives? j/k

Naalala ko tuloy yung kasambahay ko dati eh magsasampay sya nakaharang oto ko, ginawa sinampahan hangga bubong yung oto para makapag sampay, yung bubong bumaliktad, buti bumalik nung tinulak ko pataas yung bubong... ganon ata talaga thinking nila

Yung kotse ko naman nasa ilalim ng puno namin. Naglagas ng dahon yung puno.
Aba eh winalis ng maid yung kotse ko ng walis tingting para matanggal yung dahon.

Ni-RMA namin sa agency kaagad.

kaya mag-exercise kayo parang laging lightweight ang body nyo to do menial jobs at home. kung tuusin kaya naman nangangailangan ng katulong is bec. ambigat-bigat ng body nyo sa dami na fats nyo sa katawan. those fats are stored energy waiting to be processed.

and also, don't buy too much things at home para konti lang ang linisin. for example, wag bumili ng mga estatwa or pigurin na pang display na naalikabukan, wag mag-carpet. and also never entertain the concept of bodega. anything not used for 3 months or so is better off na ipamigay or ibenta.

if you own less things, you have less mind clutter and therefore, you don't need extra help.

sa Amerika nga and other Developed nations, yun middle class don't have maids. tapos dito nagpapa-practice tayo ng ganyan.

i've been observing people na ganyan eh disembarking say sa Shangrila Mall or Greenbelt, ito yun nanay sobrang taba pero pustura tapos ipasara at pabukas lang pinto ng SUV iaasa pa sa katulong or driver. tapos eto naman si tatay equally big, na mamawis-mawis na kaagad dun sa kakarampot na no aircon between mall entrance and mall driveway, tapos hindi man lang magbuhat ng bags, inaasa pa sa payatot na katulong. and then the kids, wow! ganun din ang tataba na ang ba-brat, tapos sakay lang, parang walang intindi.

by just seeing that, i can imagine their household spending like 300K / month just to maintain that status quo or daily process.

sabihin ko sa inyo pag nagkarun ng natural disaster, etong mga taong ito unang casualty. God gave us a very good body to handle things big or small, even the daily grinds. pansin ko kasi pag mas matanda mas tamad eh. bibihira ang mga matatanda na may fit body. only shows they are living a parasitical puro pasarap life.

[ecneret]

sabi ko na nga ba yung pagiging unfit ang ugat ng lahat e! :lol:

iba ka talaga OB!

[pop3corn]

totoo naman talaga eh. "efficiency is the highest form of laziness." we are living in a world na we are trying to replace all forms of work by efficient systems and computers. for what, for us to just always sit around.

yun mga dermaclinic, spas, parlors as well as the selling of feel-good lotions, ointments, drugs, pills sa katawan, those are all just makeshift solutions to make people feel better with the body.

there is only one solution for us not to feel heavy inside and out, perspire to the max. even the cavemen age, perspiration is considered as their bath na. by walking/running daily, sa sobrang grabe ng pawis nila na-rejuvinate ang katawan nila and therefore they look fit and strong.


perspiration is the fountain of youth also. hindi nyo kelangan ng anti-aging applications sa mukha or whatever. if you perspire everyday, mas mukang bata kayo at your age. look at athletes in the 30+ up.


---

na-try nyo na ba maligo sa Tagaytay na sira ang water heater, grabeh parang kulang nalang magkasakit ako sa lamiiig, pero after that nag-rejuvinate ang skin ko, nawala yun mga humid feeling na dala-dala na onti-onti oils na lumalabas sa skin from food. yan ang sinasabi ko, we are all provided the natural things kaya lang pinapa-complicate natin bec. of our katamaran. okey lang may natatayo business like derma, lotion shop, body shop etc etc.. pero all that product of man's incapability to cope up with balance.

OA naman nito

meron talaga mga tanga pag nagbukas ng pinto ng sasakyan todo bukas agad

di iniisip na baka tamaan ang katabing sasakyan

tapos pag natamaan parang wala nangyari

kahit maid o hindi maid TANGA ang ganyan tao

[yapoy86]

OA nga...

pero kasi pin pointed yung "maid"... yung lang siguro ang against sya.. just like you maid o hindi maid...

So far, maingat naman na sila pati pag sampa sa car dapat at least e naipagpag yung paa para hindi ganoon karami ang buhangin o alikabok.

Pabayaan mo na bro, baka may agency sya ng mga yaya kaya concern.
Baka matulungan pa tayo nyan pag nangailangan tayo ng yaya, at least alam na nya ang isa sa requirement, "marunong magbukas ng pinto ng car". (smiley)

[Harangody]

Baka foreigner siya tapos dating maid yung asawa niya.
