      I had a maid who claim that she can't eat left overs and have very sensitive skin.

      She will soak her baju in fabric softener overnight, and if she gets to choose she will buy the most ex type of tissue paper/ kitchen paper towel available..
      She bochap what kind of toilet roll cause she uses tissue in toilet wor :faint:

      So have to play detective.. ... 😉
      This reminds me of my sisters maid tat came by by home last yr, she told my maid to use tissue paper to wipe the table, my maid told her its costly, she replied \"not your money , why u care! \" My sis eventually changed her.

          Hi. Just to share about this maid Felixia Mogi who ekytay also wrote about. My parents employed her about 3 months ago and she is really a maid from hell. Everything ekytay reported about her is true…


          She sleeps all day. At 7.30am, my mother has to bang on her bedroom door and yell before she wakes up. She never answers the phone because she is bathing. Claims to bathe 5 times a day yet still so smelly!!!

          She answers back when told she has done something wrong. She even told my mum " don’t just tell me what I did wrong, try and slap me lah!"

          When she was ill, we gave her medication that she claimed was the dogs’ medication and called the agency to complain. Worse still, when we brought her to the GP, the doctor said there was nothing wrong with her!!!

          Finally, my parents decided to transfer her out today and she complained
          to the agency that my mum had tried to run her over with the car… so tok!

          So I really hope no one else employs her because I feel she is a very vicious and malicious person who a) does not want to do a maid’s chores b) is lazy and dishonest and c) is capable of harming one’s family.

          There should be some way of making sure that she can never get employment in Singapore again!

            Better publicise this in Tamarind's blog. Else other employer is going to have a hard time with her.

              Hi. Yes, I’ve posted there already. I think there may be a problem naming and shaming maids here? Someone posted on a few of their bad experiences with certain named maids but the post has been taken down?

                Sometimes cannot think too hard.

                My current maid at first claim she cannot drink cold water or eat ice cream. Then by and by, she start to drink some cold water, and bit by bit, some ice cream. I really don't know what to make of it.

                Toilet paper reminds me of thing that happened with ex-maid. Sometimes we buy different brands (whatever is on sale). She'll put the rough rough type in the toilets my family using, and the smooth one in the toilet she uses (only she use, we seldom go inside). Until my mum wised up and swopped the paper when that happens. After that, she didn't dare try. 😛

                  So many horror stories about maids. Quite scary.


                  Any good experiences at all?

                  I find that my maid is quite good.

                      Thanks all for your comments.


                      May i have a quick check.

                      My maid is due for 6-monthly medical examination. However, the letter has been misplaced. Anyone has such experience and what should i do?

                      Can i still bring her for medical check-up without letter?

                        ask MOM to resend

                        there is a page for the doctor to sign and send off to MOM, so you need to have the letter
