What you'll actually do

  • 02Move a couch up 3 flights of stairs through a doorway that's definitely too small
  • 03Mount a TV on a wall while praying you hit the stud and not just drywall
  • 04Drive across town for a $40 task that takes 20 minutes but the commute took an hour
  • 05Accept every 5-star review like it's a Grammy because your livelihood depends on that rating
