Woman Calls Police to Report Clean House

[Catherine Vincent]

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Her home wasn't the same when she came home, but police didn't take her seriously.

Debbie Phillips was worried someone had broken into her house -- and cleaned it -- when she came home to a very tidy house.

She tried to report the crime to police in Charleston, W.Va., but Phillips said the officer just laughed.


The president of the Putnam County School Board said everyone from her husband to her neighbors denied cleaning the place.

She didn't think anything had been stolen but she wasn't quite sure.

Was her house that messy that she noticed it was cleaned? How embarrasing. LOL!

1. No worse than using 911 as a dating service

ALOHA, Ore. -- An Aloha woman smitten with a sheriff’s deputy called 9-1-1 to get him to come over and succeeded in getting a date – in court, that is.

After her neighbors reported a noise complaint last month, two Washington County sheriff’s deputies knocked on Lorna Jeanne Dudash’s door, said Sgt. David Thompson with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.

One of them caught her eye. When they left, Dudash dialed 9-1-1 in a desperate attempt to get the deputy she described to dispatchers as “a cutie pie” to return.

"He's the cutest cop I've seen in a long time. I just want to know his name... heck, it doesn't come very often a good-looking man comes to your door step... I don’t have an emergency… I’ll think of something… throw him back my way, would you?.... just blame it on my dog,” Dudash told a puzzled dispatcher.

2. "cleaners came to wrong address" rotflmao

Oh my god, that's too funny.

And yes dear, lots of people's houses are messy... the horror!! And not embarrassing at all, it's called not being married to your fucking house. In fact, I'd be suspicous of anybody whose house was so clean that they DIDN'T notice a professional cleaning company had been through it.

4. I know about messy homes. My sister comes to mind. :)

But my house stays messy now that my sister and her 12 and 5 year old are living with me temporarily. It's hopeless to get the 12 year old to clean up after himself. I'll pity whomever he'll marry.

7. I raised 3 boys

While I could never get them to do things like cleaning out kitchen cupboards, they all did dishes, vacuumed, and the toilet was absolutely their responsibility. You just give them a ten minute job and stand there until they finish it. They all have relatively neat homes now. My mother was crazy clean, really wouldn't have noticed a cleaning crew had been in her home, and 3 out of 4 of us kids love our messy cluttered lifestyles. :)

3. That would freak me out, too.

If I came home from work to fresh linens and carpets that had vacuum tracks, yet I knew I hadn't done it. It would feel like a violation of your privacy.

I'm glad it was nothing nefarious taking place, though. As it is she ended up getting a free professional cleaning.

6. No kidding

I know, however, that I could automatically rule out most everyone I know as suspects in cleaning my house. I can't even get them to take their dishes back to the kitchen. Last week we ran out of forks. So I had to do a search and recovery mission for them. I found most of them. :eyes:

12. I know how that is! It used to be teaspoons in my house

Now that my daughter is off in college I have a surplus of the things. Every time I open the silverware drawer and see all of 'em in there I miss her. :)

[Mabus]

13. LOL

I know what you mean.

I try to take the missing forks as a compliment. To me it means that whoever just ate my cooking was too sated to move. I know they were sated because they usually take more than one serving. I could look at it another way, I could give up my delusions about my how good my cooking is and develop an overwhelming urge to hurt my husband for being an inconsiderate spouse.

5. I had a friend in early Alzeimers

who with her husband went visiting their daughter in another city.

During the day, she wandered out of the house (they did not know she truly had alzeimers yet) and no one could find her. She returned a few hours later and then a neighbor down the street called to ask why my friend had come over and cleaned her house.

So it can happen.

8. Sounds a little like what my husband did once.

A regular customer forgot he was coming and went out, locking the door. He went around back and went in through an unlocked patio door and cleaned the place. He finished before they got back, but he did leave a note saying that he was there and how he got in.

9. If my mother had a cleaning service, she would have

cleaned the house herself BEFORE the cleaning lady got there, so she wouldn't have to deal with our dirt. Of course, Mom also got us up early the days we left for vacation so our jammies, towels and bedclothes were all clean AND she used to iron my Dad's boxers (he said they looked neater under his dress pants).

She dropped out of school and had taken care of someone in her family from the time she was 16yo. I remember her telling me that she starched curtains for one of her aunts, then the aunt had her take a toothbrush to go over the ball fringe to brush the startch out of the trim.

UGH!
