They say "I" or "We" did it. "I" fixed the gutters. "I" re-did the roof. etc.

When the reality is, they paid someone to do it.

It's subtle, but it's annoying because it's a lie. I, John Doe, did not go personally climb up on my roof and repair the shingles. I paid someone to do it. So when I say "I did some work on the house," it's a lie.

I don't think I've heard anyone say that

It's always "I got [X] done"
