While cleaning a wealthy family\u2019s house, I found a note waiting for me: \u201cWe hid 10 ducks around the house so we\u2019ll know you cleaned properly. Put them in the jar when you find them.\u201d Instead of feeling trusted, I felt insulted. After all my hard work, they had left a scavenger hunt to test whether I had done my job. Tiny plastic ducks had apparently become my performance review.<\/p>\n
I cleaned the entire house from top to bottom and eventually found all 10 ducks hidden in different places. By the time I collected the last one, I was irritated enough to come up with a little lesson of my own. If they wanted to play a game, I decided they could experience one too.<\/p>\n
Before leaving, I hid the ducks all over the house again. But this time, each duck was hidden alongside something important\u2014car keys, wallets, TV remotes, phone chargers, and other everyday essentials. Then I went home and waited to see what would happen when they returned.<\/p>\n
The reaction was exactly what you\u2019d expect. The wife panicked, the husband started searching everywhere, and neither could find the items they needed. When they contacted me, I simply told them, \u201cFind all 10 ducks. That\u2019s where your stuff is.\u201d It took them five full hours to recover everything. Looking back, it was probably my most mischievous moment ever\u2014equal parts satisfying, hilarious, and just a little terrifying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
