Today, while working at a client's house, I noticed that their sliding calendar was several months off. I fixed it. Later the daughter saw and started crying. Apparently the date was the last one her mother had set it to before she died. FML

Today, my daughter decided it'd be funny to change the time on my clock. My boss didn't think it was funny. FML
Today, my coworker left a tiny mess in the break room. I cleaned it up and jokingly said, "Your mother isn't here to clean up after you." She started crying. I forgot her mom died last week. FML
Today, I went into work and noticed one of my fellow colleagues had a large bunch of flowers on her desk. As soon as I saw her, I immediately said, "Happy Birthday!" Everyone went quiet. It wasn't her birthday; her father had died. FML
Today, it was my daughter's birthday. I didn't know I had a daughter. FML
Today, at work, a customer cried because the cake I made her was not "exactly" the same as the display. I'm the one who made the display and it was the same but the display cake had faded a bit, since it had been there for a month. I'd mentioned this to the customer when she placed the order. FML
Today, I was doing a little victory jig after finally sending out the last of the invitation cards for my wedding when I realised that I had forgotten to put the date of the event on them. FML
Today, my coworker said that she suddenly got the shivers. I jokingly told her that it meant she must be being watched by a dead person and made stupid ghost noises. She then told me it was the anniversary of her dad's death and burst into tears. FML
Today, my mom was screaming and throwing things at me and I didn’t know why. Then I checked the date. Her birthday was yesterday. FML
Today, on the first occasion I've seen my boss since her brief leave, I brought up how I got to hear all our customers' heartwarming plans for their moms on Mother's Day. Her mother just died. That's why she was on leave. FML
Today, I was doing my job and trying to teach a lazy bunch of 16-year-olds. A girl entered the room just 15 minutes before class ended, so I snapped, "Someone had better have died for you to be this late!" She immediately burst into tears. Turns out, someone had. FML

This is why you don't touch people's things when you're working at their house. Def YDI!

YDI, although it was a good gesture, you shouldn't mess with stuff at other people's houses especially if it's a client's.

Unless your client hired you as a calendar technician, you totally deserve it. Made her daughter cry? Monster!

I'm in the ambivalent camp. Yes, I completely agree that nobody should touch someone's personal possessions without permission. However, it's possible that OP was being paid to clean the house, which necessitates touching people's things by job description. OP would have to move things in order to do a good job and might even dust some of the client's things to make the whole place look good. Sure, resetting a calendar is a step beyond dusting or polishing, but OP couldn't clean the house too well without being allowed to touch the client's possessions at all.

Maybe OP was just hired as a maid or something and was just doing her job. As much as some people might have feel it was her fault, she couldn't have known. Also, I don't know if it's just me, but I put stuff like this in a special place or something.

This is why you never touch other people's things. Sometimes people leave things a certain way for a reason.
