In the world of being a housekeeper,one develops a sixth sense.

In my short time of employment as one, I've found that people
don't work with you.

One of the duties is cleaning the bathrooms and particularily
the toilets. On one day I was doomed from the start. People
not only make the task harder however, they gripe about the
bathrooms being nastier than a gas station bathroom.

Something else you learn is how to look for trash and other goodies
people leave for you. Like dirty diapers. Before long nothing surprises
you.

Being a housekeeper also means being someone's babysitter. One lady
kept losing her kids and calling security until she was told to keep
up with them.

I didn't know my pay included tips or finding money on the floor.
Sometimes someone's credit card, cell phone accessories,and make-up
purses.

People often lack common sense like the one I discovered letting his
daughter run with a pair of medical scissors.

It always amazes me to see people buy big things of popcorn, then
turn around and give them to a two year old. The popcorn shortly
ends up on the floor.

Teenagers nowdays have picked up new hobbies. They don't fight in
the streets anymore. They go to the mall and start gangwars. Where
housekeepers end up in the middle.

The real fun is when bus loads of handicapped kids come to the mall
for corndogs and start a food fight. The poor teachers were out of
their elements and asking whose idea it was. I saw many corndogs
fly across the food court. I doubt many actually were eaten.

Housekeepers also become animal catchers. I found myself trying to
catch a pigeon with a net and popcorn and a box. That thing looked at
me as if I were an idiot believing it would come down so I could
catch it.
