Would You Pay Someone to Do a Job You Could Do?

Josh spends an afternoon dismantling his girlfriend's bathroom sink after the plug refuses to pop back up - a full DIY education via YouTube video and trial and error. What's the actual limit of your patience when a job you don't understand keeps getting worse the longer you're in it? And is there a universal ranking of who in a friend group gives up first?

Then Christian's Airtasker history gets interrogated - a shrub removal job that spiralled into an entire garden's worth of listings once he realised how easy it was. Is hiring someone to do a job you're physically capable of doing a fair use of money, or a symptom of something else entirely? And how much coffee and biscuits do you owe a tradesperson before it stops being hospitality and starts being guilt?

Plus: the case for Airtasking an entire dinner party, and whether you're even allowed to leave someone a bad rating for something as subjective as taste.
