Old habits die hard!

I've been leaving earlier than normal to work (around 6.30am daily) and I noticed almost everyday this Indonesian maid washing the employer's SUV. Sigh! I kind of wonder what type of person is the employer? Once a week even twice a week is reasonable, but daily!!!

The vehicle is not small, this poor maid has to use a stool to reach the upper portion of the vehicle. Come on! If he is able to hire the maid, I am sure he is able to spend RM5/RM6 for a car wash.

Talking about daily car washing, my neighbours on either side of my house, are literally slaves to their car. One will wash early in the morning and the other in the evening or when he reaches home.

My house is built on a slight incline, so the water flows down and gathers at the house down the road. This daily routine by my two neighbours has literally cause damage to the road. Several potholdes have developed and around the driveway to my house, well it has moss growing.

I just wonder if they were to miss washing their cars one or two days, are they going to have withdrawal symptoms? They looked as if they are addicted to car washing. El Nino or El Nina, it will make no difference to them, they are going to continue washing their cars.

I am just wondering what its gonna take to make them stop this daily routine. Hopefully the answer to my prayer will come soon as one of my neighbours has put up a 'For Sale' sign.
