During breakfast this morning, Maw talked about Bridget’s friend. Gloria was working as a maid abroad. For many years, Gloria served a rich woman. This woman required fresh soap every morning, uses it once and then has Gloria throw out the soap, only to be replaced the following morning. The old fart also required of the maid to iron the napkin.
Gloria wanted to please the old woman as much as possible, in the hopes of getting her “fair share” of the old fart’s inheritance. Of course, after Gloria found out that she was only a worker and not entitled to anything else but her “fair wage”, Gloria stopped ironing the old fart’s table napkin. Instead, she sprayed some perfume to make it looks and smell new.
The discussion was prompted by “El Rushbeau’s” radio talk show program in which he described how people expect too much for little to nothing and that wealthy people are not required to be generous as expected. Callers from an earlier program were wealthy people complaining about not needing Social Security or Medicare because they have enough money. “Common folks” don’t get it: don’t look for “free handouts”.
