definitely understand the HEY that's MINE bit!!!
conversely, i also have a tendency to defer certain tasks and projects TO hank - not simply because i don't want to DO them, but due to my sense of not being capable of doing them or doing them well. or possible self-injury!!!
the problem with THAT is that hank has his own timetable.....i think it's based on StoneHenge.....cuz nothing ever seems to happen in current calendar years, more over the slow passing time from one monolith to the next.
i shared before about the great lawn mower incident, when i basically manipulated/guilted him into mowing the grass and that resulted in a rock shooting out from under the blades and taking out the back passenger window of my car. so i have choices.....i can wait until hell freezes over OR.............do it myself. things that are NOT in my skill set, wheel house or carved out kingdom of control
