Today, my maid washed my PS3. Yes, with soap and water. FML
I agree, your life sucks 42 866
You deserved it 19 500

Vastu tells us more.

well. the maid cant pay because we give her 15$ PER month. and we cant deduct it because... IN rural places of Nepal , where my servant comes from, one family consists of 9/10 sons or daughters .. so that 15$ directly goes to her HUGE family.

You only give her $15 a month? Wow. What an asshole

Check the location, they're in Nepal. I expect that might be something resembling a decent wage out there...

To all of you saying that he is rich: NO he isn't rich! If he was rich he would be paying his maid waaaaay more.

Ok most of the comments here are frustrating. He has a maid. That doesn't mean he is rich. Also if you bothered to check he is from Nepal, where labor is cheap. Just like many other Asian countries. In the US and some other countries, labor is expensive, however in Asia, it is dirt cheap. Even the lower middle class can afford a maid who will come for 30mins and dust and clean. Some others can afford a maid as well as a cook. And each of these people will be paid 15-30$ per month, which is normal according to Asian standards.

Jesus Christ. The amount of people in the world who don't know how to look back and read comments or research never fails to amaze me. Obviously 99% of you are like me, who work paycheck to paycheck and can barely afford rent and bills, and resent OP for having a maid, which would be a luxury for us. Obviously, it's not as much of a luxury in OPs country. Would it be nice to have a maid? Oh yeah. It would be lovely. But if maids aren't really a luxury and more of the norm for OP, who in fact SAVED HIS MONEY for the PS3, it's unfair to easily assume he's a spoiled rich boy who can have another tomorrow. Haven't any of you had something you earned taken from you or destroyed by someone else by accident and nothing you can do about it? I sympathize with OP for that at least.

I would have done the same thing if you were the a****** the only paid me $15 a month. Seriously you deserve what you got. What kind of douchebag honestly paid somebody $15 a month you try living off of that with more than one mouth to feed. Actually you can even try that with only one mouth to feed then see how far you get.

I totally understand.. House help in Asia are a bit crazy. My maid ruined most of my heels, when she filled them all up in a bag. Most of them had boxes, but no, she just had to dump them all in a bag. I cried for a day, because those were all my good shoes! And before I get a YDI for having a maid, let me tell you I'm a middle class girl from India. I buy my shoes with deals and discounts for as less as 10 dollars at times. Whether my shoes cost 10 or 100 dollars, I still am attached to them all and shall be sad if they get ruined. I don't even have an income of my own currently, and out of all the people in my house, my dad earns the dough, which again is not very high, but enough to run the place and for all of us to afford a few luxuries and brunches from time to time. I don't get why people here are so judgemental.

You have a ps3 and a maid. This is in no way an FYL

You only pay her $15 per MONTH? Well, you get what you pay for, cheapskate!
