You have missed the entire point of the conversation - 1st world problems.

What you *could* have said was, I wish I could afford a maid service so I wouldn't have to worry about keeping my big <expletive deleted> house clean.

I hear unexplained noises coming from the kitchen but don't want to know what they are, why can't they just stop?

First world problem: I have not mastered the correct tone or presentation of my thoughts for a thread on city data about first world problems.

The butler takes too long to brush out my fur-lined drapes each morning. (How awful would that be? Fur-lined drapes was the worst thing I could think of. It also sounds like a horrible euphemism.)

But, to water them without dropping water on the wood floor is proving to be problematical. I suppose I'll gave to put an old towel down on the floor every time I water--which is about twice a week.

i just watered them again today, and I am impressed with how they are doing in the narrow windowsill. I put them in pebbles in shallow containers, and placed other rocks around them. I think I made a nice display. When we have sun they seem to look happy. I am not putting liquid fertilizer in the water again until early Spring, however.

Sounds like a very handy butler.

I have a real knack for making everything sound filthy, for some reason. I probably should wash my mouth out with soup. (I don't like soap. It tastes icky.)

Hopefully the drapes match the carpet.

My problem today is that I got groceries and the refrigerator is too full.

You need to move to a bigger house.

See if you can follow my logic here...

Problem: Refrigerator is too small.
Answer: But a bigger refrigerator

Problem: Refrigerator dominates the kitchen.
Answer: Renovate the kitchen

Problem: Kitchen renovation makes the rest of the house look small.
Answer: Move to a bigger house (verifying your new refrigerator fits, of course).

If you just skip to the end...just think about the amount of money I've saved you!

I spent over an hour reading up on how to launder a down-filled duvet/comforter. Many sites had just copied and pasted their content from other sites, so it was time-consuming to find original articles. But I like to read a lot of different ones, then compile them all in my head and take what seems like the best or most efficient from all. Couldn't believe how long I ended up spending on what seemed fascinating at the time. A particular waste of time given that I no longer even HAVE down-filled duvets in my house. 90 minutes of my life I can never have back.
