Speaker 1 (00:00):
So there have been countless stories of Sky saying she's
a helper. She likes to get in there and try
to what she says help. But you say this like
you don't realize that it almost always backfires on you.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Sometimes it can be misinterpreted, well mean misinterpreted.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
It just blatantly backfires on you.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Well. Yeah, Like I think I'm being nice bringing in
my neighbor's trash cans, and then others accuse me of
not being nice and just doing it because I don't
like the fact that they leave them on the street.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
That's a fact.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
I would be annoyed if you brought in my trash cans,
but also be like whatever if she wants to do it,
do you ever move trash cans? Like if you're on
one side of the curb but you want them on
the other side of the curb. I've seen neighbors do that.
That pisses me off. I would be like, I don't
know why, but have you ever done that?

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Not?

Speaker 2 (00:50):
I don't think fully like you're saying we got a
you know what I mean though, Oh yeah, we got
a tight trash can area. So if hoey on one
side of me, on one side of me puts his
over too much, then I'll scooch him down a little
because because then mine will block my driveway, like I
won't be able to get out. But I've seen the
neighbor where they'll fully move it to like one side

(01:12):
of the driveway from the other.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
I haven't done that yet, but if it to me,
if it would help.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Someone, I'm just hair in the back of my neck.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
That doesn't bother me as much as the bringing the
trash cans in, because now you're on my property.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
That is annoying.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
That's crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
That is annoying, you know. But I mean you got
to leave them out for a really long period of time.

Speaker 5 (01:30):
Maybe I want to leave them mountain the street. Oh
maybe it's easier. Maybe that's in front of my house
and it's none of your damn business.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
Oh okay, aggressive.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Anyway, Yes, Sky will get in there and say she's
a helper and try to get in there and help,
and a lot of times it does backfire. Well, we
have an email here from p one that is going
through something similar. Thought they were helping being a helper,
turns out not so much. The email says, what's up,
show got a random question for you? Guys to us.

(02:00):
My wife and I have been married for a couple
of years now, and her parents live over on the
East Coast. While we went out to visit them recently
and had a nice stay, at least I thought it
was nice. Now, I had noticed that there were a
few things that were broken at my in law's house
while we were there. I'm a pretty good handyman, so
I fixed it for them, a ceiling fan, a leaky faucet,

(02:23):
stuff like that. Now thought I was just helping them
out since they're getting older. While now my wife is
telling me that my father in law let her know
that he is very upset that I did this. He
thinks it was disrespectful for me to just fix these
things without asking them first. I was just trying to

(02:43):
be nice, and now I feel like a jerk for
helping out. Was I in the wrong here? I have
no idea if I was actually wrong or there's there
just being a little kooky. Let me know what you
guys think. Thanks for all the laughs. P One Luca Lakers.
I don't think it's I don't think it's him. I
don't think he spells it with a C. That is

(03:07):
how we might be crazy. Is that ron that in
law help? I don't know, Skuy, you're the helper. So
is this guy a jerk for doing this or what
do you think?

Speaker 5 (03:23):
I mean?

Speaker 2 (03:24):
I think the bigger jerk is the father in law.
But they both had a little misstep here. Like my
husband does this crap all the time, Like I have
to tell him, like we'll be in hotel rooms and
he'll be like fixing things and I'll be like, bro,
not your job, not your place right now.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Like the problem is though, he just never finishes it.
So he tells where I'll be back, and you know
when I come back, and then I'll finish it. That's
why they get annoyed.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
Yeah he's still in a hotel room, right.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah, he's still in the hotel room.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
So my husband will do this and most well I
shouldn't say most people, but I assume people.

Speaker 4 (04:05):
Normally appreciate this.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Like I feel like if we were at Thor's house
and there was a weird outlet in the room, we
were saying, and if the boo just fixed.

Speaker 4 (04:14):
The outlet anything.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
I again, I don't know, but I feel like Thor
would appreciate.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
It if he said, hey, you know your outlets out
you would you want me to fix it? Then Thor
would be over the moon because he doesn't have to pay.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yeah, if someone said to me that, I'd be like, oh, yeah,
you know, we know, like my mom, there's two outlets
that just for some reason don't work on this one
side of the wall. I'm like, all right, that doesn't
bother me. It's the guest realm who cares. And if
my dad said, if if our guest said I could
fix that, I go, I'd probably go, nah, you don't
have to, oh.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Your face, you just a guess.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
I just relaxed.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
And then if they were like, no, no I will,
I'll be like I if.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
You wanted saving you money, right, save me money. But
if they just fixed it very interesting and didn't say
anything to you until after, it was until like you
just found out later, like it would have it couldn't
be an outlet because you probably wouldn't notice that, but
all of a sudden a ceiling fan wasn't working and
it now is working, okay, would you be like, what

(05:16):
the hell?

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Another example was this, we have the guest room door
wouldn't close all the way for some reason, and we
just never fixed it. It needed like a different latch.
So my dad was able to do something to fix it. Okay,
So if he, but I helped him with it by
just telling him, hey, that yeah, they needed to be fixed.
But if he, if he, just if somebody else not
my dad did it without letting me know, and one

(05:37):
day the door just closed, I'd be like, I'd ask
my wif, hey, who fixed that, and she would say, oh,
so and so fixed that. It would be weird without
telling me. It would be weird that you just fixed
it and didn't tell me. You at least be like, hey,
at least I'd be more more comfortable if you did
it and then came out to me and went, oh, hey, man,
I saw your door wasn't working right, so I just
fixed it for you.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
So that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
I think I think a good portion of the population
would be okay with that. But to avoid any of this,
it's always best to ask first, right like you're in
somebody else's house. That's why I get like, I get
uncomfortable with the boo. I'm like, well, did you ask him?
And he's like, well, no, But who wouldn't want.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
Their outlet fixed?

Speaker 3 (06:17):
You know?

Speaker 4 (06:17):
What I mean.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
So I think the guy had a little misstep by
not asking first. But in my opinion, the father in
law is like the fact that he's taking this personal
and taking a fence to it because the guy's just
trying to be nice.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
I feel that's.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
A little much.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
I think it's totally different. If it's father in law.
You don't know if the father in law was going
to fix it. You don't know if the father in
law wants you to fix it. It's a very like
emasculating kind of thing. Let me don't do that.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Let me tell you something I've run. What do you mean, Well,
my dad is always been pretty handy. Yeah, I am
the opposite. I am not the most handy person with toilets, though,
you know what you'd do. That's my specialty.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
I heard that.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Okay, so yeah, specialty. I'm not a plumber, but I
mean I'll fix the toilet left and.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Right, like it would be a plummer.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
That's not true. That's not true. That's not true.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
True.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
So yes, my dad will come over to our house
and he'll just randomly see something wrong and fix it,
and it would bother me because you're in my house.
Na Okay, I'm the man of the house, even though
I don't know how to fix it. I'm I'm the captain,
and you got I'm the captain, now, you got it.

(07:39):
You you can't just come in and fix things in
my house. I'm supposed to fix that, okay, And if
I haven't done it, that's on me. That's not for
you to do. I know you're my dad, and I
know you know how to fix it. If he were
to say to me, hey, do you want to help
fixing that, sure, go ahead, But you can't just go
and do something in my house that I paid for

(08:01):
that I live in. It makes me feel like I'm
not the man of the house.

Speaker 4 (08:05):
But isn't that your own insecurities? Like where he's.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Into securities, it's a respect thing.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
But where he's coming from, he's trying to be nice.
Where you're coming from, like you're turning it into this
is my house.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
It's a respect it's a respect thing. And when you
get dads or family members, they don't look at you
like that. They look at you, Oh, that's my kid.
I'm always going to be the kid. And I'm like, no,
I'm not a kid. I own this house, Like like
you're coming into my house. You gotta you gotta, you
gotta ask me things. What if it's some punk kid

(08:37):
dating your daughter? That would never fly? Oh, like, obviously
I have respect for my dad. He's my dad, and
you know, like I'm not. I don't really get mad
at him. I don't say anything. And plus it's awesome
it's fixed.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
But it's a twenty year old punk if something.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Hey, mister p stereo Italian.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
Because mister goes it, just goes into the fridge, grabs
of milk, starts drinking it.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Come up freezers on the fritz walking out? What miss.

Speaker 5 (09:19):
You look?

Speaker 1 (09:19):
You look great today, my wife to you. I don't
like this kid already, I don't like.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
Bringing this guy.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
I'm done with him. But if some little piece of
crap came walking in my house and picked something without
asking me, I completely am on this. Father. Mister fixed
your cealing fane? What do you want? It wasn't working?
Co from get out of here, Tony. Oh my god,

(09:54):
you want to know who's the boss. I'm the boss, right, Okay,
that's right. What do you get where we're coming from?

Speaker 4 (10:01):
Dude?

Speaker 1 (10:02):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (10:02):
I mean, I'm a woman, but I totally get you
to my crap back up, Tony, whoa, whoa wait, oh wait,
you are enough problem with this.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
Yes, doesn't Robert. He's my man in our house doing
so you want him to do it.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
I want him to do it.

Speaker 5 (10:16):
But if somebody, like some somebody was over our house
for dinner and they just started like fixing something, Robert.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Would be pissed.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
By the way.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
I have the same reason for you.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
This is a kid's house, respect all that other one.
He put it all together, pretty much put it.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
You guys to look at it though, as like a
family member though doing it, Yeah, you're going to be
that pissed at a family not pissed.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
But it's just the right thing to do is to ask.

Speaker 5 (10:35):
I'm like, all you're like, just say something, Say hey,
I just noticed that the something's not working. Would you
want want me to fix it? You have to ask.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Would You wouldn't be pumped though that did get fixed
and you didn't.

Speaker 4 (10:44):
Have to pay for anything.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
