A Filipino domestic worker and her employer’s driver, who have worked together and quarreled for 17 years, have finally put their differences aside and promised to be better colleagues.
The maid, 44, and the driver, 56, have had arguments over many issues during most of the 17 years they have worked for the same employer.
The maid had complained that the driver never asked for permission before helping himself to the food she prepared for the employer, sunwebhk.com reported.
She had also complained that the driver never cleaned up after he ate, making additional work for her, while the driver said he would never have eaten the food if he’d known it had been prepared for the employer.
One of their big bones of contention came when the employer called the maid and asked her to tell the driver to pick him up. However, when she tried to pass the message on to the driver, he was too absorbed in Facebook and took no notice of her.
The employer was forced to take a taxi home and the pair were scolded. The two have now put their differences aside and promised to be better colleagues.

Such stupid, childish, petty nonsense from two adults. Dismiss both and start again.
Jaja baka sis
Ulamo Avirer depende naman s amo yan , di naman lahat na driver may food allowance
Talaga naman may ganyang mga tao..
More than 20 years na akong Driver dito sa HK. Common na ang problemang ganyan. Coordination lang sa isat isa, kung walang Coordination, mag ka ka problema at mag ka ka problema. Proven na yan.

Dapat bago sya kumuha o gumamit magtanong alang Naman e announced o maglagay pa si kabayan Ng pla card sa for the boss.respeto Lang sa isat Isa Ang solution.
Hirap talaga pag may kasama ka na feeling boss at tuwing masasabihin ka or pakisuyo gagalit pa sayo Samantala galing Naman sa amo Ang utos higit na Kong aware Naman tayo simula sapol sa ating mga tungkolin during Interview at higit sa lahat pareho tayong Pilipino tinaguriang pagkamatulongin pero Yong iba gusto nakaupo Lang bahala sila kasama mahilo sa trabaho nya kisyo trabaho nya yon. Kakalungkot daming kayang driver na Pilipino Ang ganito.
Kulang Lang kayo sa communication, respect each other na Lang, magtulongan na Lang kayo. Na diyan kayo para mag work at mag Silbi sa amo. At isa pa same lahi Lang kayo. Good at nag ka sundo na kayo. Start a good new relationship as a co worker good for both of you.God bless you both.
I had experience with my friend, we are 2 helpers at home,no mam only sir, when kids getting school, the girls going to bed, sleep or phone,or breakfast and sleep on the sofa with bowls or plate,she doesn’t care about house dirty or clean.
Marilyn Vasquez ang mga driver may mga food allowance yan.
Sus Day, Dong, 17 years? Ang tibay nu a!! Buti walang nagkasakit sa inyo. Ang hirap kayang may kagalit habang nagtatrabaho. Masarap ung peaceful ang paligid, wala kang kagalit. Masarap mag trabaho pag ganon. At isa pa ang igsi ng buhay para ilaan sa galit o pakikipag away. Malapit ng dumating ang Panginoong Hesus. Mas magandang gawin natin ang Kanyang kalooban. Spread LOVE not HATRED
