An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

This dresser got moved to the guest room, so we will use it to hold bed linens. My partner made labels for it so we don’t grab the wrong sizes.

I used to work as a household helper (don't know the proper term in English) for an old lady who had labeled everything in her apartment. Every time a helper had done something wrong, she labeled it.
There was a label on the window "please don't forget to close after airing the room".
There was a label on the tea pot "please steep no longer than 90 seconds".
There was a label on the ceiling lamp "please don't hit your head".
It was amusing, infuriating and kind of cute.

That is adorable and I’m sure a bit annoying to actually deal with.

The term you are looking for is personal assistant, maid, home health aide, or housekeeper depending on the duties.
