i went to help out someone today.
arrived early and the owner told me to get all the rooms ready for a full house rental - they'll be arriving about noon. it's not a b&b or inn, it's a privately owned summer place that is rented out by the owners by the week, half week, or weekend.
she had slept in one of the bedrooms last night, but told me 'you don't have to change the sheets because it was just me .... just make it up tight.' then she left.
of course, being me, as soon as she was out the door, i stripped the bed she slept in and put new sheets on that bed, and put the sheets she used in the wash with another set. she had even accidentally left a sock in the bed.
she came back while i was in mid clean and went upstairs to check my progress. interrupted me and told me 'we are obviously not on the same page about how to do things' and that she would let me finish out the day but after that i needn't bother coming back.
i stopped everything to make sure she was serious. it's because i stripped the bed she slept in. i told her i assumed she was kidding about not changing that bed. she wasn't kidding. i didn't really think she was kidding but i couldn't just remake that bed. she said, 'my place, my rules' ... i said, 'my standards, my way.'
i asked that she pay me cash for the time i spent there, right then and there ... which she did ... and i left. she can do the rest of the 'cleaning' on her own.
she couldn't believe i walked out and i still can't believe HER!
