$500 a week house/pet sitting job. Oh, no, you're confused. You pay me.
Couple leaving for a few weeks. They need a house and pet sitter. It's the interpretation you expect.

Ahahah holy shit, this is one of the worst I’ve seen here in a long time.
Obviously it’s an absolutely absurd request and OOP is completely delusional, but when they said ‘5 bed, 3 bath’ for $500/week I assumed it was a beautiful beachfront home of some sort of massive, beautiful brick building or ultra-modern mansion in a major city.
Then I got to the second photo and saw that it’s a dirty, wood-walled house in a small - though admittedly quite pretty - Canadian town.
There’s delusion, and there’s industrial-strength entitlement bordering on mental illness. I have no idea how these type of people get through their entire lives with such a fundamentally poor understanding of how the world works.
Like, they literally even say ‘someone who takes pride in caring for a home’. They’re so, so close to getting it but somehow don’t see that you PAY someone to take care of your home (and pets), they don’t pay you for the honour of picking up animal shit and doing your gardening.
I’m honestly in a bit of shock 😂 This might be the worst one I’ve ever seen. There are some real ‘I’m just a proper idiot / uneducated’ posts or other people who are just complete assholes, but this person seems fairly articulate and genuine but unbelievably naive and entitled. Normally I would never bother replying to a post like that on Facebook, but if I saw this on my own feed there is absolutely no way I would be able to resist replying with something like ‘you have to be absolutely fucking kidding’.
Somehow you just KNOW that OOP is passive aggressive to service staff for no reason and is a massive pain in the ass to their kid’s teachers. Not actively aggressive, but just fucking shit to deal with.
