Today, we got a new window washer in my office : a three-year-old, who decided the best tool for the job was his tongue. I'm the only one in the office willing to touch a bottle of glass cleaner. FML

Today, my boss asked me to help train his son, so I put him to work cleaning tools covered in oil. He didn’t warn me his son has a violent temper, and would overreact at being asked to work for a living by dumping the bucket of tools on my head, breaking my glasses and concussing me. FML

Today, on the first day of my nanny job, I wanted to impress my employers with how trustworthy and responsible I am. During the sixty seconds that I went to pee, the two-year-old found a black Sharpie and scribbled all over the wall. Nail polish remover made it ten times worse. FML

Today, some kid decided to pee in the kids' play area at work. Because I was the shortest employee working at the time, I got to climb through the area to mop it up, while all the kids pointed and laughed at me. FML

Today, my brother sprayed the entire kitchen, including all the dishes, with industrial strength spray adhesive, thinking it was disinfectant. I'm the one who got to clean it up. FML

Today, whilst at a red light in my car, a homeless man with a spray bottle and a dirty rag came over to clean my windows. He started with the driver's window, which was wide open, and whatever was in his spray bottle smelled suspiciously like urine. FML

Today, my 70 year-old mother complained about the patio window being dirty. I asked her why she couldn't clean it, or anything else in the house for that matter. I was informed she can't clean windows because she's not left handed. FML

Give the kid a spray bottle with a mixture of white vinegar and water. He'll enjoy spraying it, the windows will get clean (at least the bottoms), and vinegar ain't gonna hurt him if he happens to lick it.

I don't understand why you are the only person in the building willing to touch the glass cleaner.

Maybe they don't want to stain their khakis or can't bend down in a pencil skirt? Actually, a lot of people just think they're too good for any kind of manual labor.

I had the same response. "Oh God I have to wipe a window..."

Unless your job description includes window cleaning... don't clean the windows. What, are you your colleagues' personal cleaner?

Are you aware some companies and small stores don't actually have janitors and the employees take turns to do that ? My question is, why is a 3 year old licking windows and is no one supervising that kid ?

What's a 3 year old doing in your office? apart from the windows.

Is the place of said business your home? And are your spouse, children or any other residents(sister wives, in-laws, any other family members)... said employees???
