A cash strapped Betoota Heights woman is now considering a rather unconventional route to getting some furniture assembled, having tried and failed to assemble a chest of drawers herself on the weekend, it’s reported.
Jasmine Hockley, 29, says she’d quickly realised that the screwdriver she’d found in the back of her kitchen drawers would not cut it, but that she didn’t know anyone who had a power drill seeing as her entire friendship circle worked office jobs.
However, despite this hurdle, Jasmine might have found a solution to her problems that won’t require her forking out money on Airtasker – finding a tradie on Tinder!
“It’s not what you can do for the patriarchy, but the patriarchy can do for you”, explains Jasmine, “which is why I’m swiping right on anyone cute who looks like a tradie.”
“I find a photo with a working dog is usually a good indication.”
Our reporter asks if that technically falls under prostitution, to which Jasmine just shrugs.
“It’s a cost of living crisis.”
“It pays to be resourceful.”
More to come.
