An off-screen narrator guides us through five incidents in which an average guy who’s at home relaxing or doing simple chores just can’t win. First there’s a persistent door-to-door salesman and another on the phone, then there’s a pesky cigarette lighter he tries to fix. After a two year hiatus to recover from that project, our hero tries to communicate with his wife about starch in his ironed shirts. Next he sets out to wash his car, and last, he wants to stretch out in a hammock. Was it ever thus? |
