Mine was an old biddy I worked for when I was eighteen. I worked as a housekeeper for a hotel chain and she was the head housekeeper. That woman hated me and I could never quite figure out why, so she made my life a living hell. I heard through the grapevine that one of the guests had made a comment that I was not like the other girls and was too intelligent to be working that kind of job. Apparently, some of the other girls working on the floor overheard and became jealous, one of them was the boss's daughter. That dispelled the mystery but not the angst of working under someone who disliked me so much. Edited by: Diana Sinclair at:22nd January 2009 18:32 My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I worked for an evil old biddy many years ago. She was not nice at all! One of the lesser of her evil was saying things like "I guess you were creeping after Jesus yesterday" when I came in for work on a Monday. But the worst and most despicable thing she ever said was after one of our sweet 16 year old girls got killled in a road accident on the way to work. When the distraught mother called that afternoon to say why her daughter was not coming to work, the very first thing out of this evil woman's mouth was "Well I guess we'll have to pay her mother for the whole week". I left my employ very shortly afterward. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Very selfish and non caring. Come to think of it I had a few bosses just like that! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

And that comment to the mother of the dead girl, did she ever complain to anyone? My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

We needed the jobs, so we put up with him until we were old enough to get hired elsewhere. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Bless you Diana, but yes, a COW is a word that has crossed my mind, but then would I not be insulting all Bovines in doing so?!! Sorry I did not make it clear that when this woman HUNG UP THE PHONE to the mother is when she said "Well I guess we'll have to pay her mother for the whole week".
