This is what SF has come too
Forums:
Occasionally, Craigslist offers us a naked glimpse into the world we live in now and the insufferable private lives of its inhabitants, much as it offers us a window into the horrors of SF rental properties. Today this comes via a job posting that went up around 1 a.m. this morning for a personal assistant in South Park that basically sounds like indentured servitude and psychological torture for $25-$30 an hour, depending on your tolerance of either of the above.
It genuinely makes you happy to help others and make others smile. You find it rewarding to do things for others. (If you don't feel this way, you will either hate this role or it will be awkward for us because you won't seem happy.)
You consistently strive for both quality and speed. You like to laugh and your friends think you can be funny. You smile and/or laugh when you tell a joke or say something humorous (dry senses of humor need not apply)! ...You take pride in how you look -- whatever that "look" or style may be for you. At the same time, you also want to be practical and functional (e.g., you're "bohemian chic" but avoid the giant wedges that will prevent you from hustling around town, you're "cool hipster" but don't wear the super tight jeans that won't leave you room in your pockets to hold my dog's potty bags, you're totally "minimalistic modern" but avoid the white on white look so you're not afraid to get dirty when cooking, etc.)

Oh Jesus. You need someone
Oh Jesus. You need someone to take pictures of your dog and post them on instagram for you?
This really is gross. here's the actual ad. I hope that whoever gets this job robs these people blind. Except you KNOW they have a ton of hidden cameras and are spying on you from work every second. the thing that annoys me is they want three jobs done in the time it takes to do one and you know they'll be bitchy.

That ad is so pathetic I threw up in my own mouth! These people are looking for a Super-Jeeves.....and they aren't even offering health insurance as you take care of what appears to be ALL of the mundane tasks + more that they "just don't have the time to do". How about you learn how to manage your time better and learn to follow through.

Having read the ad, I can't tell if it's for real or fake. But the people are Dog-abusers and report 'allergies' and bowel-problems. They should give their Dog to people who actually will provide a good home. They probably feed it krap food with 'meat by-products' and Corn.
Why does the nanny have to carry the 40-lb. Dog up the stairs ? Is it to feeble to walk on its own ? Poor animal.

You have to facebook for them too?
Do you have to wipe their asses as well?
These people if real, should not exist.
Why would anyone want to live that way?

Purported authors of viral SF Craigslist ad say critics need to ‘check their own entitlement
By Dianne de Guzman, SFGATE - http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/viral-Craigslist-ad-couple-persona...
excerpt - And hey, maybe it's you that has the problem. Not them.
"The job ad is honest and transparent and on top of the cash compensation the person who fills the role will gain some amazing work and life experience," the couple told SFGATE over email. "Those who are offended by an offer for willful, voluntary employment ought to check their own entitlement."
And lastly, the dog is okay. The ad states the 40-pound dog needs to be carried up several flights of stairs, possibly rescued during its ocean swims, and potential assistants should be "willing and happy" to clean up dog vomit and/or diarrhea.
The owners cheekily updated: "The dog has a better life than we have — s/he is doing fine (not sure which gender they identify with)."
Update: Ars Technica business editor Cyrus Farivar also reached the couple in question and notified us to his own exchange with them, with some lengthier answers to questions about the ad.
"Unfortunately, none of the hate mail had any helpful criticism," the couple told Farivar. "It was all along the lines of 'I'm too good for that job at that price' or 'you should get a wife' or 'you are terrible people.' I think all reflective of either jealousy, sexism or entitlement."

The Dog is not OK. If it's barfing and has the runs and can't cover a flight or two of stairs, it is in very poor health.
Those idiots are 'Jerks 3rd-class' who(m) can't do their own dishes, much less care for a Dog. But they want 'instagram photos' of the neglected pet.
Really, they ought to be looking for a caring and competent Home for the Dog. It's a shame how overly-entitled bumblefucks think it's " OK " to abuse some unlucky animal. Miserable excuses of humanity.
Someone call in the ASPCA and PETA rescue-squads on 'em before it's too late. It's probably so traumatized by now that it will attack the hapless housekeeper-in-captivity. They've probably been through dozens of employees, and chopped most into freezer cuts for their Cannibal Fun.
At least that is how they come across.

In other (in my opinion more important) SF news, Magnolia Brewing, the Haight Street brewing stalwart headed by industry vet Dave McLean, has been acquired by New Belgium (so I guess now you will be able to get a Flat Tire in Haight-Ashbury).
