Miscellaneous: Today, I spent nearly two hours listening to our cleaning lady...

Today, I spent nearly two hours listening to our cleaning lady talking about her son's infected penis, her fear of dentists, how to catch and kill ducks, her husband's childhood and her supposedly murdered dog. She ended up crying and left without cleaning. FML

Today, I made the mistake of telling my dentist that my dog died. She spent the next half-hour talking about her pets and how they died. I ended up crying in her dentist's chair. FML

Today, our cleaning lady's son came to our house claiming that his mother had died of a heart attack. We gave him her entire month's salary as well as some extra money. A few hours later, our cleaning lady turned up for work. Turns out she doesn't have a son. FML

Today, while at work, I had to spend an hour and a half on the phone, listening to an old lady relive her entire day in excruciating detail. We're not allowed to hang up on customers, and she was extremely quick to dismiss all my attempts to steer the call back on topic. FML

Today, my fiancé and I met his mother for lunch to discuss wedding plans. When we got there, I went to the bathroom to wash my hands. I heard a woman talking on her cell phone in the stall about her son's "disgusting, slutty girlfriend." The toilet flushed and my future mother-in-law walked out. FML

Today, I was cleaning one of my elderly patient's teeth. After finishing and reminding her to floss, I realised she had died. Supposedly she was dead for a good 20 minutes. FML

The longest monologue

Today, I was waiting in a doctor's office when I was approached by an elderly woman. She told me all about the ripping of her stitches in a very private place, in exhaustive detail. Of course, today was the day my doctor chose to be an hour late. FML

Today, I walked in the bathroom to find my son cleaning his penis. It wouldn't have been so bad if he wasn't cleaning it with a toothbrush. FML

Today, I had to end a phone conversation with, "I gotta go, my daughter's eating toilet paper." FML

Today, I had to make a doctor's appointment for my daughter. Apparently she thought it would be better to wipe herself with Clorox tough scrub disinfecting wipes than tell me she'd caught an STD. FML

Today, my wife's paranoia reached a new level. She spent a half hour fretting over the idea that one of the cleaning ladies at our hotel might have taken a used condom from our room and tried to get pregnant with it. FML

It was really nice for you to listen. Sometimes people just need to get words off their chest.

And I thought it was bad enough our cleaning lady was purposely slow at cleaning so she could get paid more by the hour...Fair play to you for listening though, you're probably the only person she finds it easy to talk to by the sounds of it...

Honestly if I had a cleaning lady and she went on for two hours id let it happen. For one she works probably all day and at multiple houses or probably a different job. And she probably cleans the houses for not much money at all so she's more than likely stressed out beyond belief and she needed someone to talk to cuz she just cracked under the pressure and stress. She's probably going to come to work the next day and thank you for listening and also apologize for not working.

Next time, tell her, "Less lip, more grip" meaning "shut the **** up and do the job I am paying you to do"

Maybe this lady should spend some time cleaning the places her son sticks his Dick.

My cleaning lady is a 70 year old over weight French buddhist, and I can relate.
