1. They have no concept of what a drainboard is for. If/when there are dishes, they stack them up in the sink.
2. They hide my pots and pans, instead of putting them on the pot-rack hanging in the middle of my kitchen.
3. They put the lids in a completely different cupboard.
4. The commingle bowls and pots/pans, all in the wrong spot.
(OK, those probably could have been one item.)
5. They have no concept of putting a pair of shoes together in the closet. One shoe can be on one shelf, the other on another, or even in a completely unrelated third location.
6. Their idea of tidying is to pile things up and cover it with a towel or blanket.
7. They washed my favorite pair of wool trousers. Good thing I found them before they made it to the dryer, though they've never been quite the same.
8. We use toothpaste in those nifty stand-up types of tubes. They insist on leaving the toothpaste laying on its side, thus reducing squeezability.
9. Instead of putting loose change they find in the big bin of loose change, they will take any cup, saucer, or other dish and pile coins in there. They have been known to do it with three cups in the same room.
10. They make little displays of salt shakers on the coffee table in the family room. The concept of the kitchen has obviously not been made clear.
Yes, I know, I need new maids. I'll just add that to the list.
