Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What is absolutely worth paying someone else to do?
Anything involving electricity I would rather leave to the professionals.
Also, shaving. I'm not talking about trimming the beard, but those pesky neckbeard that could only be removed by a razor. Napaka-soothing just laying on a chair with a hot towel on your face chilling as the barber does his thing.
Oh, yeah! I'd probably include plumbing and air conditioning to that. Have professionals do it. It doesn't hurt if you read up on that kind of stuff (especially if it helps communicate your concerns better with the professionals), but I'd leave the actual tinkering to them.
I'd also include home improvement (carpentry, remodeling, etc), since even though I might be able to pull it off, I might be putting my house at risk of fire or collapse, or both!
I guess my rule of thumb there is if it involves risk of loss of life, limb, or property (all other than my own), have a professional do it.
I remember noong sinubukan kong ayusin 'yung gripo namin sa kusina, ayun, lalong lumala at naperwisyo pati 'yung kalapit na unit namin.
Food na pang maramihan. Hirap kaya maghalo sa kusina tapos limitado pati yung kagamitan/space mo. 🥴
It would suck to be your own masseuse/masseur.
Also this is obvious, but don't try to be your own doctor, dentist, or lawyer.
Personally, I can never be my own barber.
