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, 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

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.

Damn, I bet you won't touch anything at anyone's house anymore. You kinda deserved it, but you also didn't know...maybe they should have said something or have a sign saying it...lol no. Just don't touch anything.

All that pointless sentimentality abd nostalgia gets on my nerves. If the last thing she did was leave a floater in the bog, would they leave it there forever?

Not cool op it took two years before my grandmother let my great aunts start selling things from my great grandmothers house because she was the one who took care of her and it hurt when she died in short never mess with things unless you have the owners permission

it doesn't matter why you work for them. don't touch someone's crap that don't belong to you. my dad had one of this calendars, and I would never touch it, no matter how bad the date is on it. and he's my dad; you just work for the person.

You can OCD your life & your things, but when you OCD someone else's stuff/life....you've crossed a line...you deserve to be fired for mucking about with other people's stuff before asking.
