Why should I do your job and fix broken stuff?

When we arrived, the window blind was all messed up, not wanting to get blamed/charged for the damage, I responded to a text indicating the problem. when the guy from the front desk arrived he brought a woman who was quite condescending and acted as if I were an idiot.
