That's like me I can't be bothered fixing other people's computer problems in my free time as I do it enough during my day

I used to not mind doing it, but when people expect it to be done for free (not even a thank you), that's the extra kicker!

You're a computer whiz?

I need a CD key for Windows 7 as my computer now knows it's an illegitimate copy.

 

[Quivorir]

Buy a legit copy.

I'm one of those goody two shoes ones that doesn't even torrent (I used to but havn't since like 2012 ).

There are methods out there via google though!

Ingenious!

Isn't that the stereotype though? The tradie whose own house hasn't been completed?

Haha, yes that is true, but not because of they don't want to do work, they just don't get around to it, different from Chefs actively choosing not to cook for themselves and eat takeaway.

Most tradesmen I know tend to own well maintained homes..

ah yes. but also for cash they need to do jobs of other peoples. fixing own home doesnt pay the bills

The ones earning $100,000 do.

People who don't dress properly for their bodies.

Got an example?

I saw a large person at the shops that were wearing a short jump suit. Not very flattering at all.

 

[Off The Couch]

I always wonder if some people actually have mirrors in their house

 

[TheFreshBanana]

I don't mind cleaning. It's cooking I cbf'd with. If I could find someone who would do all the cooking, me the cleaning, I'd be a very happy person.

It would be better if it were the other way around, then you could just buy a Roomba

 

[TheFreshBanana]

I wonder how Danny Devito would dress if he wasn't rich.

I mean, he's short and a bit pudgy yet his shirts always fit him perfectly.

You don't find those measurements at target.

 

[BALKAN]

It's called tailoring your clothes. Lol @ non-fashionistas who wear clothes straight off the rack

 

[TheFreshBanana]

yeah and that costs money.

thats my point, what if he was just an average joe who couldn't afford to tailor his clothes.

thats why I preempted my statement with "if he wasn't rich"

I don't think I know any tradesmen earning 5 figures or less.

This is why I'm glad I do a profession that has absolutely no transferable skills for any family or friends.

(1) best and less?
(2) photographer?
(3) DSP?

Nope, Best and Less I could at least get a discount on $2 Y-fronts, and a photographer I could have to take photos at every family do. I'd love to have the DSP as my profession but it's highly sought after and hard to get.

there are online courses you can do to become a photographer. i mean we all take photos, but applying the finishing product is what makes it.

Some older generation tradies are still on average wages. And live in poorly maintained homes because they need to spend their time earning more money and can't always afford to do renovations etc. I have family members likely this.
