Default Lucy Wants a Maid...episode chat

Ok, this episode just p*sses me off. I love it, but I hate how Lucy allows that maid to intimidate her. I would have been on that phone so fast with the agency and told them exactly what kind of person that lady was and how rude she was, etc.

I don't think I would have allowed that lady to remain as long as Lucy did.

Wasn't that just rude and crude of that witch maid to eat roast beef while Lucy had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich????? Lucy should have just kicked her a$$ to the curb like you said. And to top it off, even Ricky was intimidated by that old hag.

I saw that episode a few month's ago. I remember thinking that it was out of character for Lucy to take that abuse. It was funny at the end when they trashed the place, and the old hag had quit.

Yeah, and the "Well, I've got to eat to you know" comment ! She played that part well though that's for sure. I've never disliked a character so much before.
I lmao off at Ricky saying "I was waiting for you to introduce me!" Also the look on his face when she first comes out of the kitchen looked like he was saying "what the h*ll is that!"

-Could you imagine having to clean up that apartment after they made that huge mess!

Ah, you read my mind abt what the look Ricky had on his face. He did seem to be thinking just that!!!! I guess he was expecting a young, happy thing to stroll outta that kitchen.

OMG, that mess they made!!! See, had she just told off that witch or called the agency to complain abt her rotten attitude, that mess wouldn't have happened. Poor Lucy.

Not only that, the maid had the audacity TO TELL LUCY WHAT HER SCHEDULE WOULD BE????? The agency should be sued for sending such a troll!!!

Old hag...

Lucy was tired mentally, she just had a baby you know. That's why she didn't have the mindset to tell that witch off.

I can actually hear that old troll saying that in my head right now as I read that!!!!!

Baaaay-beeeee! Now really, don't you think the agency should have sent someone who was aware of that fact? I am sure Lucy told the agency she was a new mother who needed a maid.

"And who takes care of HIM!?

She acted as if "baby" was another word for devil or something. I loved Lucy's "he's just a little one" remark.
I would have thought that too. I mean the biggest reason for getting a maid was to help take care of little Ricky so I think Lucy would have mentioned that. Besides even if she didn't she was being paid to stay there most of the day and I'm pretty sure it doesn't take a full day to clean an apartment so a few hours helping Lucy out with the baby -wouldn't have killed her-

You are so right. The apartment was so darn small and what mess was there other than dishes, cleaning the kitchen, vacuuming, dusting and making beds, laundry and cleaning the bathroom, FOR TWO PEOPLE MIND YOU. She was getting paid a king's salary I bet, and then with those days off, afternoons off or whatever the hell her schedule was, that old hag had it made. That witch made it seem like she was cleaning a castle and was going to be there over ten hours. She wasn't even going to be doing anything for the baby, like his laundry, making his bottles, changing him, etc.

I think our favorite maid also played a grouchy woman in Sales Resistance. I may be wrong but I thought it looked a lot like her?!?
