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

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.

Surely you didn't think the client was unaware the calendar was off by a few months. It's not like it was a day or two off and mistaken for a normal error. You should have minded your own business. YDI.

I guess our OCD ways get the better of us sometimes.

Put the calendar back on that date and forget it ever happened. Jesus.

But then it wouldn't have been the date that her mom set it to... it'd be the date that OP set it back to because he/she couldn't mind his/her own business and leave things in someone else's home well enough alone.

YDI. I have OCD. If you changed the calendar in my house whether it was wrong or not I'd flip.

So OP deserves it because you have OCD? Okay.

seeing it meant so much to her I'm sure she remembered the date

Yes but it won't have been set by her mom anymore. Changing it back doesn't unring this bell.

but if it only happened a few months ago, then she has every right to still keep and certainly be upset. you said yours was out there in 2010. that's 3 yrs ago! this poor woman has only had a few months this of grieving. everyone grieves in their own way and I think it's not right that he touched her stuff!!

I'm neutral on this one, because I can understand both sides. Yes, they shouldn't be messing with other people's stuff (even if it was odd that it was several months off). But, I could understand them thinking that maybe they just forgot to change it, etc.

If the OP was that concerned, they should have asked about it instead of touching it without notifying the client.

if it was a day off maybe I'd change it but if its very off I'd assume they know that and leave it as is and ask later that way if they didn't know they do now
