I'm starting a home cleaning business to supplement my income. Very affordable.

I will be charging only $12 per hour.

I will come to your home and do your cleaning chores for you...but only the chores that I feel like doing.

It's all going to depend on what my mood is when I arrive.

Maybe I'll clean out your refrigerator, but probably not.

Need your toilets cleaned? I'm your man...if I'm in the mood to do it.

In all likelihood, I'll probably just come to your home and maybe run a wet paper towel over your kitchen counter top. Then I'll stand in your kitchen for a few hours and berate you for being such a lousy housekeeper.

Maybe I'll sit on your sofa and stare at you for a few hours without blinking.

I might show you all of the pictures on my phone for a few hours instead of actually doing any cleaning at all.

If I'm in the mood, I'll bring a few sandwiches and you can watch me eat them.

Those are my terms. Oh, I start charging from the time I leave my home. Minimum cleaning charge $500.

That's the beauty of this business I'm starting...you never know what will happen!

At the very least, I'll walk around your house and point out the things that need to be cleaned.

I actually came up with this idea for the new business while I was typing this post. I typed the first two words of the thread title, forgot what I was going to post about, and then this great business idea just popped into my head.

Thank you for your business.

The one thing that might affect your going rate is whether or not you'll be wearing clothes at the time. I'll let you guess which way your going rate will be after you include your photo and tell your decision to me.

Take a picture of your last dollar, and post the picture of it in this thread. Then I'll take a picture of my monitor showing the picture of your last dollar. Then I can show you the picture I took on my regular phone by buying a cheap burner phone, and taking a picture of my regular phone screen with your picture showing on it, and then I'll upload that picture from my burner phone to this thread so you can look at it.
