A Sydney woman was willing to shell out hundreds of dollars for someone to help her track down her boyfriend after she suspected he was having an affair.
The woman, Adriana*, posted a job on Airtasker for $350, announcing her desperate need for recognition.
“I need someone to drive me and a friend to Five Dock and sit in the car with us for a few hours so I can try to catch my cheating boyfriend,” she wrote.
A Sydney woman recently shared that she was willing to shell out hundreds of dollars if someone could help her track down her cheating boyfriend.
The woman’s desperate plea was announced just before Valentine’s Day
The ad was posted just before Valentine’s Day as a plea to catch her boyfriend in the act before the romantic holiday.
It is not known if the operation was successful.
Others have previously checked their partners’ phones or even asked their friends to “honey trap” their boyfriends.
But it clearly wasn’t Adriana’s style.
The post went viral and was shared on various social media websites with many weighing in with their opinions on the matter.
“The way I would do this for free,” said one.
‘Wow, who would have thought to put it on Airtasker!’ “This is great,” wrote another.
But some didn’t see the point in going through so much trouble and wasting $350.
‘This never makes sense to me: if you don’t trust him, just leave. “The relationship is dead regardless of whether he is cheating on her,” one woman said.

Gabriella, a new mother, recently gave birth, but was “craving” Pistachio Papi and promised $300 to whoever could pick her up and deliver a package of the cult food.
She is not the first to take to the platform to make an unusual request.

Simone Minas, a barber in the city’s inner west, was willing to pay $200 to someone willing to buy her a pistachio croissant.
Similarly, Gabriella, a new mother, recently gave birth but was “craving” Pistachio Papi and pledged $300 to anyone who could pick her up and deliver a package of the cult food.
“This isn’t the first time people have turned to the local market to help them get the foods they love; similar tasks to get Lune Croissants and Cinnabons were posted in pop-ups earlier this year,” the founder said and Airtasker CEO Tim Fung.
