Upper class problems
I don’t have cleaners. But the last time I saw this joke made a commenter opened OPs eyes with something along the lines of:
Imagine hiring cleaners gives you a +2 to your cleanliness level.
You start at 5. +Cleaners: 7
Clean first to get to 7 on your own? +Cleaners: 9
Also. Cleaners will start with the easy shit like dishes. If dishes are done they have to go deeper to clean harder shit. Get your money’s worth.
I’ve never understood this thought process. Sure, getting some stuff out of their way makes sense (like getting shoes off the floor so the cleaners can vacuum), but why clean?
It’s called an anxiety disorder. shame and guilt and embarrassment
They don’t want others to think they’re dirty/unclean/etc so they do this. It’s the same reason some people won’t call a handyman to fix a problem, or go to a doctor/dentist, they’re afraid of someone knowing they couldn’t fix or take care of themselves.
