i hate when a piece of kids media is so well made that people start saying "clearly this was made FOR adults not for silly little babies. we are the true target demographic" like cmon man. you don't have to pretend it's something it isn't. sometimes things that are made for 12 year olds are good.

[a-list-of-moods]

Also things for children SHOULD be good. I WANT children to have smart, well written media. We need to stop treating children as stupid babies who don’t deserve good media. The best children’s media is the media that still holds up as an adult and that you don’t feel stupid for having liked when you were younger.

This is a reminder for those who handmake Christmas presents that now is not too early to start. It may in fact be a good time to start if you have a lot to make/your craft takes a long time. You should maybe start it now, whether that's brainstorming or actually doing the crafts!

If you have any guests at all inside your home, even for a short duration of time, always offer them a beverage such as water, tea, or coffee. If they're going to be inside your home for more than a few minutes, always offer for them to sit down. And, if they're going to be inside your home for more than an hour or two, offer them snacks or a bite to eat.

Basic rules of hospitality are that you should always offer a drink, such as water, tea, or coffee to guests in your home even if they won't be there for long. It's one of the quickest, easiest, and simplest ways to make someone feel welcome and at ease.

It can also be important to offer for someone to sit, especially if this is one of the first times this person is visiting your home. Many people can feel awkward or uncertain about sitting down and making themselves at ease in someone else's home, especially if they haven't been there many times before. Being offered to sit down by the host may be the only way for them to feel at ease enough to sit down and make themselves comfortable.

Of course some exceptions apply, such as if this is an unwanted guest who is making you uncomfortable. But otherwise, if this is someone whose company you enjoy in your home, or even if you just feel neutral about, your duty as host is to make them comfortable and at ease, such as by offering them a beverage and a seat.

Being a good host is how we can establish stronger ties to other people, and how you can create more of a sense of community with the people around you who visit your home.

Do you have any advice for when a worker enters your home? For example, a plumber or repair person.

I never know if I shoould offer drinks/snacks or if it's better to stay out of their way and let them do their job.

[dailymanners]

It's definitely polite to offer workers like plumbers and electricians beverages and snacks. You're definitely not getting in their way at all by offering them water or a snack. I've heard too many horror stories from plumbers that people will yell at them or scold them for wanting a glass of water or just refilling their own water bottle at someone's house. If they're going around from house to house all day how else are they supposed to stay hydrated? You're definitely doing the polite thing by making it clear to them that they're allowed to have water at your house.

Also with any sort of outdoor workers too, like roofers or landscapers, definitely at least ask if they want some water.

[geardrops]

also offer them the bathroom

[sophibug]

a non-weird way to offer them the bathroom is to tell them where it is.

When it was particularly hot, my mom would put chilled water bottles in a box on top of the trash cans with a big shiny sign on them saying "NOT TRASH -- WATER BOTTLES FOR SANITATION WORKERS". This doesn't work as well for people living in apartments, of course.

[spinningyarns]

If someone is doing work inside my house, I put a clean cup for each person on the counter (it’s the only cup(s) out, so they don’t have to guess which is for them) and tell them it’s theirs to use and they’re welcome to ice and water from the dispenser on the fridge. Then I tell them the bathroom is next to the kitchen.

I didn’t used to do this because I assumed they would just use the bathroom if they needed, but then I learned that some people think workers should go elsewhere for the bathroom?? And once I started saying it, I’ve had people say things like, “If you’re sure- we can go down the street” But of course I’m sure! As long as they’re only doing bathroom stuff in there, why in earth shouldn’t they use the bathroom at my place?

The water hadn’t occurred to me before I read the suggestion somewhere, but it’s top notch.

[boldfenianwoman]

We had a problem with this when we had electricians working at our house for a few weeks one time. I showed them all the bathrooms in the house and assumed we were okay... until 2 days later I saw one of them leaving the port-a-potty at the construction site next door. It turns out even though I'd shown them the bathroom, they weren't sure if I was actually okay with them using it because apparently some people are REAL unkind about stuff like that. I had to flat-out say "Please use the bathroom in the house, it's literally why we have them" and even then it was into the second week before one guy stopped popping his head into wherever I was working to ask if I was sure.

The bit I struggled with for a long time was not trying to over-host work crews. I didn't know how to balance making them feel comfortable and hovering. I had the most luck offering them a water after introductions, giving them a house tour on our way to whatever needs fixing and then clearly identifying where I plan to sit while we're touring. Now I end by saying "Please feel free to use the bathroom and if you change your mind on the water or need a snack or anything, come find me, I don't mind." Then I go sit on my hands until they need me - that way they can do their job without trying to entertain me. The trick with the cups on the counter is a brilliant one, I'll have to bank that one!

[authortobenamedlater]

Pro (literally pro, I grew up around contractors) tip: If you are nasty, mean, micromanaging, or generally difficult to work with, you might get what’s known in the trades as The A-Hole Discount. This is when you get upcharged for being, well, an a-hole.

So if you hire a contractor and your bill is more than quoted and he’s vague about why…you don’t need to make a post to r/AITA. Chances are good you are in fact the a-hole.

[holbytlanna]

From the Service Plumber Husband- the a-hole discount is legit, but the reverse can also be true. Do right by tradesmen, and they'll generally try to do right by you.

Also they always appreciate water and being able to use your bathroom

[retirededgelord]

I really like the way my parents handle this. They have workers fixing their patio right now, and it's July in the US, so it's HOT. My mom immediately showed the guys where the downstairs bathroom is, and then right on the front porch, she stocked an entire cooler full of water and Gatorade bottles, then put a family-size box of granola bars next to it.

That's just...how I was trained to treat workers. Put out what they'll need and they'll grab it whenever. If they're there for multiple days, restock as needed. I know I appreciated that level of courtesy back when I cleaned houses professionally.

Also, the supervisor/owner/whoever ended up being wonderful and ended up saving them about $10k. I'm not saying that a discount should be your ONLY motivation, but it's certainly nice.

[thestorywitch]

An on-tacking that my mom does and trained me to do: if you’re socially awkward or your workers/staff/what have you have been so browbeaten they won’t enter your kitchen for snacks and drinks, see where in their work area they take a break. Make sure there’s a cooler and you make it clear the stuff is for then. Signage and texting about it is mom’s favorite method because then permission has been clearly given in writing, which means you’re probably not trying to trap your workers to blackmail them for discounts AND if someone doesn’t speak your language well a clear text can be put through a translator.

Additionally, if they are working outside, make sure there’s seating they can utilize on breaks. For inside work, it may behoove you to get some painters dropcloths and cover comfy and/or convenient furniture and again, make clear those chairs or what have you are free for them to sit on. That removes their worry about getting dust or paint or house meat or…. I don’t know, wall paper glue on your stuff and makes their lives and breaks easier.

A lot of folk in the trades and labor have experience being tricked or baited with false kindness. Making it EXTRA CLEAR you’re doing the work to not set them up puts things at ease. You make it clear which chairs can be sat on, they don’t have to guess or pester you. You put things in writing multiple times regarding consumables, they don’t have to worry about being accused of theft etc.

Also, mom’s recurring lifelong painter and carpenters have gotten in the habit of doing extra cleanup after unasked because, if you make your place nice to work, THEY WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FONDLY AND CALLED BACK. You save them work, they save you work, reciprocality etc.

Aerial Pruning Skills

[softtummybitch-deactivated20260]

fuckin gmod contraption lookin ass

[tasteyandfreshe]

I saw this and thought “there’s no way in hell this thing is real” and it turns out it IS real and it’s called an aerial saw. Here is the beginning of the fifth paragraph of the wikipedia article:

So that’s comforting, but here’s the kicker: It was invented in 1983 by a man named Randall Rogers. The wikipedia article for the aerial saw mentions that following his death, the patent was sold to another company who holds it today. It does NOT mention how he died, but thankfully the Chicago Tribune has an archived article with this little nugget:

He was KILLED BY HIS OWN INVENTION. And this company sees this absolutely insane machine, hears that it killed its own inventor, and goes “yeah I’ll buy that”.
