PPS - I am not sure exactly what you mean here.
One person's laziness is another's invisible work.

I am reminded of the parable of the widow and the copper coins.
I'm sure most of her fellow citizens viewed her as a drain on society.

Western Historian Patricia Nelson Limerick once asked,
"Who cleaned up after the bar fight?"

In every society and in every time, certain labor has been highly visible -
And highly rewarded. While other work - typically done by women and the poor -
Has remained invisible.
