I need your help paying my bills

My coworker called me up the other day laughing about a conversation she had with someone who had cold-called in.

Caller: I came across your company's name.

Coworker: Alright, what kind of work are you interested in?

Caller: I'm not interested in work. I need your help paying my bills.

Coworker: We are a staffing agency. We help people find jobs. Are you looking for work?

Caller: No. I said I'm not interested in work. I just need your help paying my bills.

Coworker: Well, we can help you pay your bills by helping you find a job.

Caller: Like I said, I'm not interested in work. I don't need a job. I just need help paying my bills.

Coworker: Well, I can't help you then, because we're a staffing agency that helps people find jobs. We don't just pay bills. That's not how this works.

Perhaps he was looking for the government center? Not sure. What I am sure of is that we'd all love a little free money. Am I right? I'd love to get my bills paid without having to work. If someone knows where that service is, let me know.


Unemployment, I know. Or, I suppose, generational wealth.


But also: get a damn job!
