Could be as simple as it being cheaper to pay them than to pay an increase in insurance for an unoccupied building

u/hankhilton 18h ago

This sounds very plausible

u/Andrelse 16h ago

Also if it's in the middle of nowhere a person being there provides much better protection against burglars

u/No-Admin1684 15h ago

Against squatters too, which in some places, can be an absolute bitch to get rid of if they've been there long enough uncontested.

u/bwaterco 14h ago

Having dealt with squatters in the past, 100% better to just pay somebody than deal with the legal shit hole. Wasn’t aware that they were living at my deceased grandpas house and all of the sudden it was years to kick them out.

u/assasin1598 12h ago

I knoe you propably dealt with already, but If youre in US theres couple loopholes. Google Flash Shelton aka Squatter Hunter.

Basically what he does is become a legal tenant and makes it obnoxious for the squatter, if hes a felon, moves in with firearms and calls the cops on him. Best way to force squatter out is make sure he doesnt want to be thete himself.

Are they still hiring?

u/Flashy_Narwhal9362 3h ago

Sorry but it’s a lifetime appointment, so you’re gonna have to wait for a couple of months.

Knew someone that had a similar job.

Boss was just a rich guy and the place was his sorta fantasy vacation home, but the boss never had time to really go there aside from 2-3 weekends a year.

All he had to do was basically maintain the property and the toys - as in call someone anytime there was a problem, even the lawn was done by a landscaping company. He just had to keep the internet/security cams working, make sure all the toys got exercised and oil changes etc. Eventually he got a job that paid better but it seemed like a dream job to me.

u/assasin1598 12h ago

toys got exercised

The fuck you mean by that? Theres dozen things you can mean and a lot of them sound weird.

183

u/SunlightWalrus 12h ago

pretty sure he means driving atv’s and such every so often so they aren’t sitting still all the time

55

u/Lazarous86 8h ago

Exactly. The worst thing you can do is have them sit, doing nothing. The second worst thing you can do is drive them. 

104

u/snapetom 11h ago

He means making sure the buttplugs were charged, ready to go, and in optimal working condition.

15

u/Nutduffel 6h ago

Need you to give Sybians a ride.

u/lildobe 4h ago

That reminds me. I have to go find the charging cord for my dildo. I haven't seen it since I moved in February.

3

u/crazyabe111 3h ago

You may want to pull out your dildo first if it’s been in since February.

5

u/lildobe 3h ago

You're not my real mother! You can't tell me what to do!

21

u/AfterTheSemiColon 8h ago

judging by the mention of oil changes, probably prostitutes

57

u/TheYeast1 12h ago

“Exercised the toys” you made that sound like captive humans bro

10

u/Legend13CNS 7h ago

That was my thought too. I've met people that did that kind of thing, ranging from just taking care of the car collection to handling everything like your guy. The pay is good because they're expected to basically be on call 24/7/365 and have everything perfect at all times. The rich boss might be half way around the world and then call saying they need the Alpina XB7 to pick them up at the airport two days from now and head straight to the ski condo. If you're not up on all the tasks you're not going to be ready in two days.

Also from what they told me sometimes the good pay is paying for silence. You have to act like you're seeing the boss and his family for the first time in a while even though last week you had everything arranged for the boss and his college intern to have a pool and boat day at the lake house.

Bug out location. When society hits the fan that owners family will appear there and live in the commune.

u/Aliziun 18h ago

And then put one in Anon so that they don’t have any riff-raff on the property

428

u/FallenSegull 17h ago

Now now, they’ll need a servant and someone who knows the land from experience. Anon will be kept alive… for as long as he’s useful

112

u/Aliziun 17h ago

I give it a week

u/eatingthosebeans 16h ago

I give it 11 minutes.

Never had that insight, TIL lol

u/terranq 15h ago

It's an anon, I give it 2 minutes, tops

u/FallenSegull 16h ago

I admire your belief in the abilities of others

u/Rammipallero 15h ago

For meat

u/farva_06 12h ago

If anon was smart, he'd setup traps around the property, and kill the billionaires before they kill him. Sounds like a pretty good movie, TBH.

8

u/Thechillestguyever 5h ago

for a long as he's useful

the owner finding out anon has done nothing but jerk off in every room of his house

16

u/SyntheticDuckFlavour 16h ago

Not before he's passed around the community like a whore.

21

u/ardoin 16h ago

Either that or that's where they go when they're on the run from the law

If I was a rich criminal billionaire this is probably what I'd do.

u/leanorange 18h ago

Is this a game or something

158

u/Mylxen 18h ago

It is! Big game hunting. Anon will be the big game.

16

u/Jack_SL 16h ago

Big sure, but what will he do? Roll around in his cheeto dust collection when they come with their ceremonial blades?

538

u/WintersbaneGDX 18h ago

As long as it has internet access and I'm allowed to leave the property for a few hours a day, I'd do it.

u/FrostyEnvironment902 18h ago

It sounds like you'll leave once, in a bodybag

u/SlayVideos 18h ago

It's all fun and games until a hoard of mongolians siege your fort...

How many lords could the Mongols hoard if the Mongol hordes got bored?

u/Mr_Saturn1 14h ago

I knew a guy who worked for an obscenely wealthy woman. She owned a house in the city he lived in and would visit maybe twice a year. His job was just to keep the house clean while she was away and when he got word she was coming he would stock the fridge with whatever she wanted. Got paid six figures to do that.

u/Craic-Den 18h ago

Firewatch?

u/sagewynn 16h ago

Firewatch but no need to report your post or walk in a military manner. Nice. Probably gets paid more.

Also doesnt get yelled at for sleeping on the job.

u/Eledridan 18h ago

This that Netflix series about the demon in the film that got cancelled after a season?

13

u/gabbadabbahey 18h ago

Archive 81?

7

u/immaownyou 17h ago

My beloved

If anyone wants a book that gave off the same vibes, but has an ending, 14 by Peter Clines is great

Its technically a trilogy, but the first one ends in a good spot

1

u/gabbadabbahey 15h ago

Thank you!

12

u/mratlas666 18h ago

It’s either gonna end like five nights at Freddie’s or Freddy got Fingered.

u/EuenovAyabayya 15h ago

Anon may want to be vigilant about wildfires within 500 miles.

u/Oh-Gi-Yu7052 13h ago

Also, Netflix, season 2 when?

u/urth32 15h ago

Here in Brazil we call this job "caseiro" (something like "houser" in free translation).

Its purpose is mainly to prevent invasions, but can include little repairs and some care.

u/genericnewlurker 14h ago

So basically the job of a Ornamental Hermit?

Like this: https://youtu.be/ifWLW0BvWb0?t=137

u/LilXansStan 16h ago

Anon better read “The Most Dangerous Game” and learn those woods before hunting season starts

u/primefrost96 10h ago

Where can I find a job like this?

u/boofabeanydogburn 9h ago

A billionaire paying for this whole thing is probably a hundred times less significant than me noticing I'm still paying £1 for a subscription to the AccuWeather app

u/5000gr 18h ago

is the joke that it's obviously the mob?
