With your holiday tipping angst safely behind you, it's time to mine the halo effect of your largesse: Bigger than normal requests of your super, handyman, porter or doorman are more likely to be indulged now while the memory of your generosity is fresh.
Here is a sampling of Big Asks to consider before the half-life of your gratuity expires:
- Removing wall-to-wall carpeting
- Hanging pictures, mirrors, or shelves
- Moving your car to the alternate side of the street
- Installing or switching window shades
- Changing locks
- Moving furniture
- Putting up new hooks or towel bars
- Re-grouting
- Acting as a general contractor on small renovations
