    I remember reading a long, long time ago about an average Joe who recounted his experiences of hiring a butler for a weekend. I couldn't find it again but has anyone here have had a classical live-in maid/butler?

    Does the classical part mean the butler has to be named Higgins or Jeeves?

    I had a rather foul-mouthed chambermaid named Peggy when I was growing up. She actually worked for David Letterman at one point.

    I grew up in a house full (cook & servants). Each room had an button that rang a bell in the kitchen quarters...plus the ones at your foot under the dining room table.

    It never felt awkward until i went overseas for school & returned home for the 1st visit (9-10 yrs old). Specifically, my dad ringing the bell in the lounge to order a drink, obliging someone to cross the house & stairs simply to serve a coke that was available in the adjacent room/bar. That was the beginning of many "Master Harold and the Boys"-moments.

    I still don't understand this. Was Arnold intoxicated? HEAVILY intoxicated?

    My sister lives in Thailand and has had up to 5 maids and 3 drivers for her extended family's home. She currently has 2 drivers and 3 maids. I visit here once or twice a year and its pretty cool.

    I've had maids living overseas. Their very affordable, in fact in the average middle class household has one in some Asian countries.

    Though I never liked ordering random ladies around. If I want something I'll do it myself.
