I don't Asksunday

I think that some mundane tasks should never be outsourced. I cannot see myself using these services, like asksunday.com, because it doesn't seem to be worth it. If I need to make a reservation at a restaurant, I can go to opentable or call a place just as easily as I could ask someone else to do it for me.
It is just like when people write an e-mail to someone, asking them to write another person an e-mail. Why don't you just save the time and write that e-mail to start with? In some circumstances, these types of actions are understandable, but I tend to just get those small tasks over with fast because they take so little time.
At first I thought it would be great to hire someone to wait in line for me, but thinking about it, I'm not sure I would even want to pay for that. My life is already hectic, so freeing up the little down time that I have in order ot accomplish more tasks might just make life more stressful.
Although I do not plan to use these types of services soon, I suppose I need to work on allowing others to help out with the mundane beause I can see the advantage in certain circumstances.
