It's not necessarily a skill you don't have. You just decide you'd rather spend money to have someone do it for you than to do it yourself.

I was expecting the next scene... This got too deep.
TheRealMulletMan
Yeah but he is helping
ThePirateBay
Exactly. she has got a very very valid point there.

He's not 'the help' he's the one who knocks.

He is not 'The Doctor', and he will knock 4 times.

As someone who used to be referred to as "the help," Thank you
thelostskeleton
Can we talk about the double italicized italics?
IDontKnowHowToHuman
[I][I] And she's also italic, but in the opposite direction. So like, triple italicized. [/I][/I]
kaakku
She did hire him to HELP her?
schulace
The "help" has a derogatory connotation. It implies that they're of a lower class of people who are less valuable.
rguygo
I don't hire lawn guys because they're better than me, but because it isn't worth my time.
iwantashortnameforonceohshit
2) and there is nothing wrong with that! But you should just own it
amandalibre
This is the economic explanation.
rguygo
That is correct.
schulace
You are right, but that's not Lois' or OP's point. The point is that just because you pay someone, it doesn't make them your property.
javaguy
But if you did I bet you'd treat them like human beings.
rguygo
You are correct.
thescarydude
Well, I think you would be disappointed if you found out they do a job worse than you would've.
rguygo
I know they do, but buying someone $25 a week was worth it. I do my own lawn work now.
NotaClipaMagazine
But you do admit that they're better than you?
rudejohn
Former roomie worked landscaping at golf courses before med school. He's better than any lawn person he's hired, but it isn't worth his time
Acephalous
Being good at residential landscaping just means you do the same shit anyone else can do faster.
rguygo
Maybe at some things, but I'm better than them at some things as well.
iwantashortnameforonceohshit
'isn't worth your time' sounds like a big cop-out coming from someone sitting on imgur. I'd say you're just too lazy for it, more likely.
rguygo
Not lazy, I do it myself now, but when my son was young it was worth~$25 a week to have someone else mow.
ShamnusMcfee
I don't hire lawn guys because I am poor.
rguygo
You'll get there one day as long as you work hard... or marry rich. Good luck.

Amen!

We hire lawn guys because my family has 4 acres of land that takes too damn long to mow.

What about us in retail? I have no skills anyone else doesn't have and yet I'm still treated as "the help" by some people
Greeneyeddevil
That's because some people are absolutely shitty human beings. Retail is hard fucking work, you deserve far better than you get.
Sinosaur
That's no true, having worked retail we know how to read the fucking box to answer questions.

I can't work out why people hated her so much. She just didn't want her husband to make meth, that's fair really!
garlicnation
im watching the show now and i hate walter, even though he's badass, more than i hate skylar most of the time.
DatMormon
She divorced her husband because she thought he was dealing pot. That's all that needs to be said.
Lookatmyballs
But then she got involved and should have just let him do his thing. Not to mention her sister.

rainbowjo
Marie is the devil.
avegancannibal
she smoked whilst pregnant
Skeif
SHE.. FUCKED.. TED..
Aranyszin
But that wasn't really all she wanted. She came off as this controlling, judgmental shrew (which was great acting by Anna Gunn). It ...
Aranyszin
.. was the contempt she seemed to feel for Walt, even before he started dealing. I really wanted her to die - along with Marie.
tarataqa
Watch the first season again. She was really annoying.
apothecary555
i disliked her in the beginning because she emasculated walt...by the end, i just felt sorry for her.. i guess that was the desired effect.
Zagatan
watch the first episode again. The one where its his birthday
rainbowjo
Yeah, that was pretty bad. On balance though, he killed people and poisoned a child and ruined his families life. It's kinda worse!
etrius0023
2 wrongs don't make a right. Plus she was a dick when Walt was nice/sane and she was a dick when he became ruthless (SHE DIDN'T CHANGE).
Featureddaman
Well she decided cheating was a good way to deal with marital problems and was an all-around bitch the first season, in my opinion.
FailToImpress
Yes Skyler shouldn't have cheated on Walt, but we need to look at why she cheated on Walt.
LarryTheLobster
plus she was kinda fugly
rainbowjo
He was effectively holding her hostage at the time, it's not marital problems if she wanted him to leave but he wouldn't.
sheepwithasword
She also never told on Walt because she didn't want her son to know he was a meth cook. That's ridiculous.
veelafleur
They were separated. She asked for a divorce. Not really cheating.
dragostarc
She never signed the papers herself though.
veelafleur
Cause she totally wasn't manipulated and threathened troughout the whole show.

QueefLedger
My absolute favorite part of it is how the cast mocked all the Skylar-hating Walter fanboys.
avegancannibal
she smoked whilst pregnant
Ohhhlookaunicorneatingasamurai
Was it meth? Exactly!
JediKnight
I think the whole show is an interesting experiment: At what POINT does the viewer no longer side with Walter? A test of moral complexity.
ThisGuyDisguisedTheSkies
When he poisoned Brock.

THANKYOU! that one comment made me laugh so much!!!! i shall carry it with me forever.

Heisenbergerandfries
I loved her character because I hated her so much, but I also agreed with her, does that even remotely make sense?
apothecary555
some of the best characters are actors who convince you to hate them... i.e., nurse ratched in "one flew over the cuckoo's nest."
NothingISayIsReallyTrueComeOnItsTheInternet
She would of had none of Walter White's shit.

There's no argument, it was simply information.

Hal used to be a badass until Lois tamed him and calmed him down. Hal had the complete opposite journey to Walt. I kinda like that idea.
YouCanCallMeGeorge
As he blows a can across the lawn.
Cosemawn
Is "the help" somehow insulting or derogatory? You are hiring them to help maintain your house...
NicestguyonImgur
Its not the word per se, but the stigma it has, try saying it while waving your hand as if shooing a fly, that is the implication.
OrionRed
"the help" is a leftover word from American times after Civil War, after "freeing" slaves...they were still 2nd class citizens.
javaguy
Don't they use that expression in England?
OrionRed
I don't know...I was using the American term because it's an American show. "The help" is an insult about someones station in life.
SirusKing
"The help" is only to refer to workers who help old people who cannot do something.
Cosemawn
Ah I see, thanks for explaining
Cosemawn
Also, lawn care isn't a profession, its a job. Same as how being a cashier at a fast food joint isn't a profession.
Cosemawn
I have nothing against people who do this line of work, but let's not lie about what they do to protect peoples feelings

It is not impressive to treat people beneath you as if they're beneath you.
copingcabana
Thinking like that leads to some complicated sexual positions.

If they have a skill I don't, they're only beneath me on an org chart. I have a job, they have a job, and we both need to do our jobs.

Couldn't be more true as a professor. Smug professors really, really, really piss me off. Experts vs beginners is NOT what it is about.

It's about experts HELPING beginners :D

I hate that too, but I see why it happens. Their job is being more informed than the people around them, and students too often revere them.
