I don't think I have ever seen a crew of maids that I would let in my house .

The car loads around here always look like crack head scum .

I can to ask the same question. I am curious as to their reaction.
The owner of the company just left. They handled it just about as well as one could expect.

Both people were fired. He is reviewing the in-car video/audio to see if they incriminate themselves. Checked the car's GPS tracker to see if they went anywhere after our house. He personally searched their purses when they got back to home base. He said if he finds anything amiss he will call the law and call us so we can give our testimony in the police report.

He personally came to our house to see where they were working, and what exactly happened. He seemed pretty concerned about it (whether he was or not, who knows).

He just randomly showed up about 30 minutes ago. I just saw an unknown male at my door so I didn't know if this was one of the ladies SO/cousin/brother or what coming to "talk" to me about getting their girl fired. So I opened the door with my glock in my right hand behind the door. After he came in he didn't seem phased by the fact that I had a gun, despite him being from the UK. Surprising.

No. "People" take their shoes off.

The maids didn't remove their shoes, so they got little booties for painters to go over their shoes.

I honestly couldn't care less what anyone thinks of that. If you want people to be wearing shoes that track in piss and shit and whatever else from other people's homes into YOUR home, go right ahead.

I don't get the whole hiring house cleaning thing. My wife had it done for a while too years ago. Then they didn't clean shit hardly at all. So I had to do it anyways. She finally wised up and realized how big of a waste it was. Just American women wanting to feel like royalty and have people do their shit for them I guess. God forbid a woman cleans her house and a man mows his fucking yard. But I digress.

Just seems like a great way to have strangers go though your fucking house. But what do I know.

Don’t let strangers in your house.

Stop being a germaphobe. You will be a happier, less-anxious parent and your kid(s) will be better off. Kids pick up your anxieties early. Anything you can shed will only help them.

Edit: Having kids cured a lot of my germaphobia. I still don’t like to touch the bottom of shoes, but I don’t freak out about wearing shoes in the house. And vomit no longer bothers me. Even when it’s in my face/eyes/mouth.

So my wife and I hired a high end maid service. Very costly, supposedly very professional.

They showed up today (the first day) and started cleaning in the master bath. As we were told they would do. My wife wanted them to wear little booties on their shoes in the house since our daughter plays on the floor. About 10 minutes after they got here, my wife went up to take them the booties.

When she got up there, they were in the master bath with the door shut and LOCKED. She said she had to wait at least 1 minute for them to open the door. She said that one of them acted like she was using the bathroom and even asked the other for toilet paper. The only thing is, there WAS toilet paper in the room with the toilet - and the room with the toilet has its own door independent of the master bath area. Why would she be asking for TP, why would the main door be shut and locked?

When they finally opened the door my wife saw one of her bottles of medicine on the counter. A bottle of Concerta that was inside a drawer 10 minutes ago. I think they were rummaging through our drawers looking for meds to steal and forgot to put that one away while they were scrambling. They aren't supposed to clean in the drawers, period. Why the fuck was the medicine on the counter?

I've already called the maid service, I want them out. Just wondering if I'm overreacting or not.

I'm all about telling everyone to take off their shoes when they come in, and if that's not acceptable, stay the fuck out.

But booties is just too damn funny.

Are these high end booties?

And if sterile is so important,why were they upstairs in the master bathroom for 10 minutes before the booties even were attempted to be offered?

You let them come in with their deleterious shoes on for 10 minutes, and they were in your own master bathroom all that time?

For shame.

OP, you should have called the cops. But, you did the right thing, and DID NOT overreact. Now, it's time to play Mr. Bad Guy, and call corporate to ensure their asses are fired. I'd still have a police report filed. I know you likely don't want to invite the man into your life, but you need to think about the next person that hires them, or even the fact that their sloppiness could get the next customer's child killed or permanently injured. I'm thinking if they drop a pill, and a child picks it up and swallows it. Scary shit.

ETA: Read you last response to this thread, good on you not letting it slide.

Lets just say its really fucking tempting to steal shit from people when there is not a soul around to catch you and you have full access to the house legally

If you have so much as a visible gun safe there is no way I am taking the chance on that shit ever. Too many dirtbags out there and face it, its not the highest paying position and has a higher than average chance of gotta get some cash now homie people.

My boys are 10 and 8 now. All boy. They go outside and get dirty, no problem. I’m right there with them. Hit mud puddles full of stanky ass swamp water in a naked jeep, no problem. Go camping with limited ability to wash hands, no problem.

Sit Indian style and grab the sole of their shoes...I have to restrain myself from making them wash their hands immediately.

I’m complicated.
