help help


really looking for someone to help start a cleaning and maintenance company, to help with all aspects of running a business, seting up with marketing business
promoting,new clients,software,we will offer cleaning for residential and commercial.. also would like to offer plumbing and hvac services later on if interested please email

Let me make sure I understand. You have the ability to clean a toilet. You would like someone else to set up an entire toilet-cleaning business for you, so that all you have to do is clean toilets and collect the obviously staggering fees, leaving your partner the foul and unrewarding job of answering the phone and mailing out invoices.

Gosh. Sign me up.

Thanks for the post, Kim!

    Plus tips! Some combination house cleaner/plumbers make lots of tips, depending on how much cleavage they show.

      *slide that dirty, dirty money into that beckoning crack*

      I’ll take the plunger with me on the way to the corner.

          I think the alternative is more frightening.

    I won’t help you. I won’t even help help you. But when you hire help, I will help help your help.

    Great story Sparky. In fact if I hadn’t seen the email with my own eyes I never would have believed my cousin’s mother’s gardener’s grandniece’s catsitter’s baby mama’s neighbor could have made $3,432,784 in one week and now driving a brand new [insert car model here], all while just sitting on her ass, promoting,new clients, software, as you mentioned in your ad. Etc. Or something like that. Click here for details.

    Rule 1 of Business: Never put your own money in the company.
    Rule 2 of Business: NEVER PUT YOUR OWN MONEY IN THE COMPANY!

    Got it?

      I thought Rule 2 was “Don’t spit in your coirkers’ lunches.”

        Rule #2 was “Make them bring their own restroom toilet paper.”

    Help, I need someone…. Won’t you please, please help me.

    When the help needs help to begin to help, someone is helplessly hoping and heartlessly helping himself to bad dreams.

    A cleaner and a plumber and HVAC servicer? Why not add disk jockey, cook, and brain surgeon to the business model?

    “I’m a doctor, Jim, not an MBA.” Oh.

    Maybe Sparky can also recalibrate dilithium crystals?

    Is this comment as disjointed as Sparky’s proposal?

    Yeah, yeah Sparky..you know what else? People in hell want ice water.

    Now, go stand over there and hold your breath until someone answers your ad.

    My, my..what a lovely shade of blue…purple…you are.

    So apparently they want you to do the marketing too? I can pick a pretty mean melon but I draw the line on buying flounder.

      And if’n you flush yer kids goldfish, you gotta have a fish license.
      And if you use a drain snake, you gotta have a snake license.
      And if you take a plunger to a toilet, you gotta have a diving license.
      Shoot, just to work on a toilet you gotta have an ABC membership card.

      I hope I’m not being too obtuse, just trying to look at this from a different angle.

        ‘Round these parts ABC stands for Alcoholic Beverage Control, so “having an ABC membership card” could be a discreet way of calling someone an alcoholic.

    “also, it would be helpful if you knew something about toilet cleaning and maintenance”

    What? I’m more of an idea planet.

    Somebody has already done all that. What Sparky should do is just join an already established company. Problem solved.

    NOW GET OFF MY CRAIGSLIST!

    Sorry about that, I had a little gas there. All better now.
