Neighbour's cleaner

88 replies

Hi
My neighbour's cleaner does't stay for the amount of time I think she is supposed to. I see her going about 2 hours in to a three hour shift and she smokes outside their front door too.

Should I tell my neighbour?

Well I would be pretty mad if my cleaner was having guests and smoking whilst she was supposed to be doing my cleaning.

Right, shall I try out the smoking first then and not tell her about the hours?

My Mum is in need of a cleaner so may be if she sacks her I will have first go?

Maybe you should get some nets Jane

NomDePlume · 11/10/2004 19:29

Umm, they have, Jane. The majority have said that they would say nothing, in your shoes.

doobydoo · 11/10/2004 19:29

I did not realise you needed to be TOLD I thought that reading the majority of the messages posted would have given you ageneral feeling that you should probably not interfere.

clairabelle · 11/10/2004 19:29

I would mention it in a hope you don't mind me saying but...kind of way.It's up to her then if she wants to do anything with the information.

I think you should invite her round to yours tell her you wont tell her boss if she does a quick tidy up of yours before she gets off an hour early

And tell her not to worry about her boyfriend while she's tidying for you as you will entertain him.

Beccarollover · 11/10/2004 19:42

I was joking but maybe it is a good idea - depends if your bothered about having one up on your neighbour!

The thing is that if someone at my work was going home early every day I would expect someone to speak up.

Bu then that's how we are at Customer Care.
