Refers to a "buddy assistance" deal where Person A completes a yucky/difficult/boring job for Person B that he doesn't feel up to suffering through, while Person B tackles a similarly-sucky task that Person A would ordinarily have to perform himself, but also loathes the thought of doing.
I cleaned out Tiffany's garage in exchange for her vacuuming and mopping the muddy floors of my house after a boisterous post-game visit from our town's little-league baseball team... pretty fair disagreeable-task swap, if you ask me.

Dealing with people you know won't listen to you, despite being provided accurate information, and watching them fumble about when you told them the solution from the start.

The task force agents that are only visible by tweakers. The ITF is like the DTF (Drug Task Force) in some ways, but they hold different credentials, as in, the ITF are shapeshifters and they usually go away when you eat and go to sleep. The ITF sets up surveillance through power lines, radios, outlets, microwaves, etc. Aluminum hats are only thing that can interfere with the signals. And they are unable to see you if you peek out the blinds. Also, the ITF usually are hiding out in trees or bushes outside a tweakers garage and most certainly outside their sheds.

A beneath-his-dignity job dat really "bugs" a toxic-minded individual if he has to perform it, especially if a certain 10-year-old local sleuth was da one who caused him to hafta do it.
Making one or more members of da town's early-teenage-bully group engage in a meanyal task may indeed feel good, but keep in mind dat you may also feel like you've "got a tiger by da tail" while observing/supervising said punitive activities!

When your supervisor or manager asks you to complete a task and you put the task/duty onto another coworker while on shift.
Last night at work my manager asked me to do something during my shift. I found my nearest coworker and gave the task that I didn't want to do to them. Task Switching is really difficult to pull off since it must be consensual for the employee receiving your assigned task.
