That sounds like a disaster. All it will take is finding a single cool looking doodad and the entire cleaning crew will be occupied for hours
Yea, but that'd be worth it. We'd have found a cool doodad.
Makes me wonder what this doodad might be. Guess I should start googling cool doodads instead of finishing my status report…
Homeowner won't be mad.
You found that cool doodad they put somewhere they wouldn't forget months ago.
every room has only a finite number of cool doodads at any given time. the room will be cleaned eventually, it just might take a little longer. not to mention that the extra time will be spent discussing cool doodads and will thus be time well spent.
Cleaning crews are mostly one person unless you're dealing with some large corporate facility. One ADHD person distracted by one interesting item in the space they're cleaning and the whole thing goes down.
So how does this no return yoyo work?!
I get focused on small things, which makes me an inefficient cleaner. Sure that drawer is going to be the most organized it has ever been, but there are bigger fish to fry.
I just need someone following me around to ask questions like "Are you sure deep cleaning the microwave is the most effective use of your time right now?"
Well after years and years of not cleaning it, I guess the few times a decade we get to do it then it better be deeply clean 😄
"Shut the fuck up, Terrance! You don't know what I need right now!"
I named my helper Terrance.
Then you return home to find all your stuff was put away in wrong places and have a complete meltdown because you can't find anything when you need it.
I can't find my stuff one way or the other, so whatever...
Yeah I have a complete meltdown whenever my keys, wallet, and phone aren't in my pockets, because I don't know where they are the
Yeah, but now you can blame yourself for agreeing to this stupid idea instead of blaming yourself for not cleaning your house. An infinitely worse experience.
The word you‘re searching for is „autism“.
This is a joke, kinda. I‘m autistic and I like to talk about it. Have a nice day. :)
That's just my life married to someone with a different neuroflavor.
then it'll become what I'm supposed to do and I won't want to do it
Pay 1/2 up front 1/2 at end. No obligation to finish.
I don't want to clean my own house. Why would I want to clean anybody else's house?
Because maybe the pressure you apply to doing something for someone else exceeds what you do for yourself.
(Or I could just be speaking for myself here)
That and, at least for me, an overwhelming need for approval. If I help someone else clean their house, they might think I have my own shit together and I'm a considerate person. If I clean my own house, I'll still hate myself.
Or maybe the pressure of someone else potentially cleaning my place will actually get me to do it.
Not that I have weird stuff I don't want people to know about. Not that I would say I do either. Or comment that I don't have weird stuff because pointing it out would kind of say I have weird stuff. I don't have weird stuff.
I do this but with work. I keep my work space cleaner than anything at home. It's knowing for a fact that everyone can see it and judge me vs my home where it's just me and the family.
I would have to relearn all my random junk heaps to find stuff.
Lol... Too real
Their filing system will be incompatible with mine and we will both hide each other's things in plain sight.
I’d probably sign up for that if I could set a reminder to remember to set a reminder to remember to set a reminder…… ∞
No.
