we have the clutter fairies they never put anything away they just use and leave a trail for the worker bees to clean up after...I know these fairies are in every work place

You've heard about the tooth fairy.............but have you heard about the piss fairy? This is the little fairy that comes in at night and randomly 'waters' your sleeping patients. I suspect he or she looks a lot like Tinkerbell in a little yellow outfit , holding a watering can. (although I guess your male piss fairy might not need the watering can).
So what kind of 'fairies' do you have in your facility? :chuckle

I always seem to stumble on the work of the poop fairies :rotfl:

I have the light fairy - he/she turns on the lights throughout the house and garage; the kids would NEVER leave a light on.

Alas my life is plagued with the toilet paper fairy. Whether at home or at work, this fairy sneaks into the bathroom just ahead of me and uses up the last of the toilet paper. I can start my day by stocking the WC with reams of toilet paper, only to find it all "evaporated" by the time my need evolves.

Woe is me!

I have a mad scientist fairy who has invented a wandering black hole: it sucks things in, hides them, then only spits them back out into a place once you have finished searching it and found it empty. :coollook: :uhoh3:

I believe I have the Mad scientist fairy also. Such a pain when I am searching for stuff.

The tooth fairy's cousin Helga who likes to take dentures and hide them so well we can't find them before patient's meals...she sure can have a sense of humor at the wrong times doesn't she!

And of course her husband Stan...he likes to take hearing aids.

LOL!!!!!!!!!

We also have a "clutter fairy" and on top of that, a "lost laundry" fairy. Some of the other aides will wash resident's clothes together and then clothes end up in the wrong rooms--even if they're clearly labeled with the resident's name. Not fun!

Some of our residents in the Alzheimer's wing do seem to get frequent visits from the "piss fairy". :rotfl:

At our LTC, we have the "linen fairy". Laundry staff will swear up and down that ALL the closets AND the carts were full when they went home, but when third-shift arrives, somehow the shelves are EMPTY again!!
