[quote=Anonymous]I've had Mexican cleaners for over five years.  I don't know if they're legal or not.  A mother and daughter come to clean every other week.  I've never had any issues with them, other than the mother cleans really well and the daughter doesn't. The daughter is not very motivated and makes this stone wall face expression when I ask her to clean something that she missed.

We've known our neighbors for 1.5 years. They are middle class family, dad, mom and two daughters, and have always been super friendly with everyone in the neighborhood and are always very nice. One of the daughters had problems with drugs until about a year ago. After rehab and a lot of efforts, I think she's off drugs now and has been living with them for a year now, taking online college classes, going to the gym, etc.  I'm really hoping this problem is behind them, they're such nice people.

Our driveways are next to each other. Our garage is facing their garage. Cleaning ladies go in through the garage.

One day I was out of the house when cleaners arrived. They have a key and got in and started cleaning, as usual.

I drive up 30 minutes later and my neighbor texts me and then comes out to me and says that when the cleaners opened the car doors the neighbor's daughter smelled marijuana all the way to their garage, thought they were "hotboxing" which apparently means smoking in the car with windows rolled up. I thought surely a former drug user wouldn't confuse marijuana with anything else.

I didn't really smell anything, I have allergies and my nose is stuffed up in the mornings.

I waited until the cleaners left because I didn't want to confront them in my house.  Then I texted them something like "Hey, is the car you drove here today yours?  This is what the neighbors told me. I'm fine with people using it recreationally at home, but not at work or driving."  They responded that this is racial profiling, this is racist, they would not do such a thing, the daughter has asthma and can't be around smoke, the mother doesn't drink, the neighbors are racist and the cleaning service is canceled because they're terrified that the neighbors will call cops on them.  I think they may be illegal and that's why they're afraid, but don't know for sure.

So it didn't really go down the way I imagined it.  I'm just puzzled by this bizarre incident and I don't know whom to believe.  [/quote]
