      When my cleaning people come, they frequently unload the dishwasher and put the dishes away in the wrong place.

        When my cleaning people come, they frequently unload the dishwasher and put the dishes away in the wrong place.

         

        What's that thing they say about good help?  I just had my lawnmower repaired and because the piece of log I ran over was newly cut, it bent the shaft and the repairman was only able to get it about 95% straight.  Slacker.


        Will run for scenery.

          Who are these "cleaning people" of whom you speak ?

           

          You speak as if dishes have "a right place".

           

          You are not a single man, I take it ?

           

          When my cleaning people come, they frequently unload the dishwasher and put the dishes away in the wrong place.

          Stupid feet!

          Stupid elbow!

            No I am not, I am a married mother of two. Although truth be told, my husband freaks out about the incorrectly placed dishes a lot more than I do.

              Well at least that is one that I can go better than you on.  Dishes here have one place: the garbage can.  We use disposable paper trays and plasticware for food.

                This happens here too.  I think there needs to be some sort of awareness program to stop this.   "No Misplaced Flatware!"

                 

                SusanRachel - I'm not sure what the rules are if you aren't in a first world country.  By definition, that may take you right into a "actually a shitty situation" category.  :P

                  I ate too much food for dinner last night, thus I was too full to enjoy any ballpark food at the Red Sox game.

                    The chow hall has lousy snacks.

                    We have to wear body armor again.

                    I have to walk 1/2 mile to get to the flight line (one way) in a zillion degree heat, long sleeves and long pants.

                    Three minute showers are tough to get hair washed in.

                    None of my uniforms fit properly.

                    The internet has been down at work for more than two days.

                    Mail call has been nothing but bills.

                     

                    Oh wait, you meant first world problems while living in a first world country.  Never mind.  Carry on.

                      I have to drive to a house warming party which also means I have to buy a present.

                       

                      My almost- 3 year old's party is tomorrow which means I actually have to clean today.

                       

                      i might not get a run in with all this craziness going on.

                          I booked and paid a deposit at a hotel for our vacation next year, but a competitor hotel keeps popping up in my sidebar ads, making me doubt my original choice.

                            I have to wait one hour while my car dealership is performing a complimentary oil change and tire rotation on a busy Saturday.  So I have to surf running forums to occupy my time while waiting.

                              You forgot to mention the Sox losing, so they are in first place by only one game.
