You know what they say, “Idle hands do the devil’s work”. They also say, “The Devil is busy”. So, what do idle hands do once they’ve started doing the devil’s busy work and have become decidedly less busy? Well, rather than send you spiraling into the abyss of circular logic, we at Seva Call want to ensure that even though we’re saving you time and energy when finding the right helping hand for your everyday service needs, there are plenty of other things your hands can do. After they enter your location, service need, and click for us to call, that is. So, without further adieu, here is a hand full of ways to keep your hands full while waiting for the call from a local pro.
Your Moment to Seva
Twiddle: Feel free to twiddle your thumbs. You may seem a little high-strung for doing so since the wait time to find area pros doesn’t get any shorter, and life is pretty short too. But, hey, go for it.
Wrestle: More fun than twiddling your own thumbs is twiddling someone else’s — if you call thumb clotheslining a competitor before locking them in a thumbhold for the win twiddling! Spend the first 30 seconds drawing luchador masks on each competing thumb for even more fun.
Tap A Diddy: Find a clear space on a table. Test tap various spots to see where variations in the grain of the wood and hollowness of the structure create complexities in the sound. Then, go all Drum Hero. Table drum standards include “Real Love” by SWV and “The Other Way of Stopping” by The Police. Have a friend drop some dope rhymes on the one as well, if you’re feeling it, of course.
Crack: No, I mean your knuckles, silly. It’s great for releasing pent-up aggression from calling a million dead-end business listings before finding Seva Call.
Air Boxing: Also great for releasing tension. When you deliver the air that knock-out blow, be sure to raise your fists into a V for victory gesture, jog in place, and make the ‘H’ sound to simulate a large cheering crowd that adores you, the undefeated Light-Wait Champion of the World, (pun intended).
Tweet: Better yet, tweet us! Employ the old noodle to craft the most awe-inspiringly clever, Shakespeare-quality, 160 characters the world has ever seen. #MomenttoSeva
Manicures: Snip those overgrown tips with some clippers, and then zip the emory board across them for a smooth finish. Guys, you can do it to. It is called a MANicure, after all. When the ladies say they want a handsome man, they’re not talking about your face, if you know what I mean [see: wink-wink, nudge].
Shadow Puppets: Especially if you have kids, creating a fun short story with your hands and a flashlight is a great way to pass the time. Just keep it brief so they won’t be too disappointed when the first of the electricians calls.
Read Palms: In 90 seconds, you will receive a phone call from an area professional who knows your problem and wants to help. Look, you have a long lifeline connecting you to more area professionals in seconds. See, it’s easy!
Whatever you do with your hands, it will sure beat dialing number after number or scrolling through infinite online listings, and consumer reviews. So, enjoy your moment to Seva and we’ll have one of your top-rated, neighboring pros talk to you very, very soon.
PS… These suggestions also apply if you just have a really slow internet connection!
