The topic of today will be based on my experience. Early today i reminisced the experience i had when i was working as a part time cleaner at Mrs Williams house, back then in Lagos Nigeria. And this will be making me to write on the pertinent topic that we all have to treat people well, in the good way, irrespective of their status, and the kind job they do.

Lead image source.

As a young guy who needed money, i chose to work with the few time i had after my high school, before proceeding to higher institution, so, i began as a cleaner in Mrs Williams house, the daughter of this woman was always frustrating the me, i never did anything right in her eyes, one day i had cleaned all i needed to clean, washed all washable, all the necessary house chores had been done by me and it was time to go back home, but (Victoria) the child of this woman said she would never let me go unless i start again. Though she was older than me, and i gave her that respect. I humbly said:

"Ma, i have done all the necessary chores, and there is nothing left to be done."

Instead of her to listen to me, he was infuriated and replied by shouting: "what rubbish are you saying!!!!!! Now, let me tell you, this whole house, my room must be cleaned more than twice before you can go!!!!

She ordered me to start cleaning everywhere again! To let peace reign, i started again, as i was doing this, fortunately for me, her mother came in, and said: "My boy, i thought you are done cleaning all these places, why are you repeating the work?"

Then i replied:

yes Ma, i'm done cleaning, but your daughter, Miss Victoria ordered me to start all over again, that i must clean everywhere more than twice before she could be satisfied."

The Mom said "Hmm", then replied: you don't have to stress yourself unnecessary, you've cleaned everywhere well enough, and i'm satisfied, you can go.

Before i left, i heard Victoria saying to her Mom "where is that useless boy", her Mom quickly corrected her by saying "common, you shouldn't have called him such name, he is our house cleaner, not a slave, and he has done well, i'm absolutely satisfied with the works he had done". Her Mom told her she should learn to be nice to people. 

Victoria's Mother disguised to make her daughter learn lesson.

One day, Victoria' Mom disguised and wanted her daughter to learn lesson from life, so she had to sit lonely in the living room, camouflaged and displayed soberness, it was written all over her face that she was totally unexcited. Victoria came in and saw her mother in such a dispirited mood, this made her to quickly ask "Mom!!!! Why are you unhappy and cheerless?" She had never seen her Mom in such frame of mind. Then slowly her Mom replied: "we are losing all we have, we are loosing everything, oh all we had laboured for all these while is going just like that, our properties, the cars, and everything is going away. I never knew your dad owed such debt before his death, but now we are in troubles."

Out of curiosity, Victoria said to her Mom "what can we do now to avoid losing our properties?" Her Mom then replied " you need to get a job so that we can be paying the mortgage on the Properties, we need to be paying some thousands of dollars every Month". So, where would i get job now, and what kind of job would i get now that there is high rate of unemployment in the country? Then her Mom replied " i have a job for you and i will like you to do it if you want me to be happy. So, what kind of Job is that? Victoria asked!  Her mum replied....."A cleaning Job". Then Victoria said....."What?!! Ooohh no no no, i can't do this kind of job at all, in my l, i can't, oh my Goodness!!!!!" But after saying all these, she still had no choice, she wanted to make his mum happy, so she had to obey, and accepted the job offer.

Victoria started a cleaning job, just like i'm doing in their house. 

She started the cleaning job in another person's house, she was to wash the dishes and other kitchen utensils, then clean up the kitchen and the backyard, these were her first assignment, before cleaning the floor, so she began, she did these works laboriously

for that day, and on getting home she became tired, and report to her Mom that cleaning job wasn't easy at all, that she had felt what other cleaners fell. 
Her Mom then said to her that she intentionally made her worked as a cleaner so that she could fell what other cleaners feel, and to learn to treat them right with nice attitude. Victoria had leant her lessons, since that day, she started treating me nicely and goodly, she didn't shout at me again. We became very friends till today, even when i was leaving cleaning job for the University, she bought me gifts and gave me some cash.

Conclusion.

In life, it's very important we treat people the way we want to be treated. No matter the child of who you are, you should always treat people right. Do youu have cleaners who work in you house? Do you have cleaners in your office? Never treat them bad!!!!!! These people are really working energetically to make your surroundings clean, they are doing their best to make sure you live in an healthy environment. So, treat them right!

Even if you do not people who work for you as cleaners, please still treat everyone who comes your way right, treat them in a nice way. You never can tell were you will need their help tomorrow.

Thanks for reading.

No one deserves to be treated badly. Janitress, cleaners, street sweepers and other workers deserve more recognition because they are one of the most hard working person.

This is nice. We should learn how to treat people nicely irrespective of background. All fingers are not equal, so when we see a person that's lesser than us in terms of finance or Fortune, we should treat them good as well because they're humans. I like how you and Victoria ended, if it were to be Nollywood, it would ended the other way around...still good

We don't have cleaners in our house. We are just the only one who clean our house. My parents taught me in working household chores.

Her mother really wished her well, thank God, she learnt her lesson. Sometimes we don't know what other people pass through until we feel it ourselves. Thanks for sharing with us; your experience, Ayo.

She was really blessed for having such a great and loving mother who helped her learnt how life works, by exposing her to work outside. Now she has learnt to treat people in a good way. Thank you Ella.
