Based on true stories.

OK. So you hire a plumber or other worker to come to your house and fix something.

You leave your car in the driveway so that he has to park a block and a half up the street. You just LOVE paying him $85 an hour to carry his tools up the street. He's only a tradesman, why should you give up your parking spot for him.

When he gets in your house, you pay him the same rate to take the dishes out of your sink.

And the same rate to take all the cleaning materials out from UNDER the sink. And put them back again.

Then you let your kids and pets get in his way while he is working, 'cos he costs scads more than a babysitter.

Then make sure that he cleans up perfectly, because he costs three or four times as much as your house cleaner.
