This is a fact.

No different than paying a person to wash your car or any other “menial” task which one chooses not to do through laziness or simply not being fúcking arsed. See also gardening tasks, home DIY or repairs and to a lesser degree internet shopping.

Quite often tasks one could complete but we choose not to and instead we choose to pay.

None of the above are looked down upon.

Hmm, he just knocked on my door one day and that was the price he offered me. Didn't count my windows beforehand.

I have no idea to be honest as I would imagine it is a year since we engaged such a chap.

We had a lad once, a god botherer, who only charged €20 but part of this deal was that I stood at the bottom of the ladder and steadied the thing as he ascended. Naturally what with me a) paying him and b) helping him this was not a long term agreement.

I'd say him asking you to hold the ladder didn't display a great deal of faith.
