A Sydney woman was willing to spend hundreds of dollars for someone to help her track her boyfriend after she suspected he was having an affair.
The woman, Adriana*, posted a job on Airtasker for $350, advertising her desperate need for exploration.
“I need someone to take 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 said she was willing to spend hundreds of dollars if someone could help her track her unfaithful boyfriend
The woman’s desperate request 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 whether the operation was successful.
Others have previously searched their partner’s phones or even asked their friends to 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 expressing their views on the matter.
“Like I would do this for free,” said one.
‘Wow, who would have thought of putting it on Airtasker! This is genius,” wrote another.
But some didn’t see the point in going through so much trouble and wasting $350.
‘To me this never makes sense: if you don’t trust him, just leave. The relationship is dead regardless of him cheating,” one woman said.

Gabriella, a new mother, recently gave birth but was “craving” Pistachio Papi and pledged $300 to whoever could pick up and deliver her a package of the cult food
She is not the first to take to the platform for an unusual request.
Popular Sydney cafe Son of a Baker hosted a weekend pop-up last year featuring desserts and treats from Pistachio Papi, an Australian online-only store for the nutty spread.
Simone Minas, a hairdresser from 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 “craved” Pistachio Papi and pledged $300 to whoever could pick up and deliver her a package of the sect food.
“It’s not the first time people have turned to the local market to help them get their hands on the food they love, and earlier this year similar tasks were posted to get Lune Croissants and Cinnabons at pop-ups,” says Tim Fung, founder and CEO of Airtasker.
