history of the holiday
The Day of Workers of Consumer Services and Housing and Communal Services was established by Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated October 1, 1980 No. 3018-X “On holidays and memorial days”, as amended on November 1, 1988 No. 9724-XI “On amendments to legislation USSR about holidays and memorable days."
Before this, the holiday was called the Day of Trade, Consumer Services and Housing and Communal Services Workers. It has been celebrated in the USSR since 1966 on the fourth Sunday of July. After 1988, two separate events arose with different celebration dates: Day of Trade Workers and Day of Workers in Consumer Services and Housing and Communal Services.

When housing and communal services employees' day is celebrated, official ceremonial events are usually held within the organization. Distinguished employees are awarded bonuses, letters of gratitude, and certificates. Concerts are also held, and regional authorities congratulate service representatives. Individual employees are awarded bonuses for their hard work.

Competitions
Women versus men The competition participants are divided into two teams – women and men. The first team is given the task to name as many brands of cars as possible, and the second - potato dishes. The team with the most correct answers will win.
Champagne time Competitors are given a bottle of champagne, which they must open. The building is complicated by the fact that they must hide their right hand behind their back (for left-handed people - their left hand), using only their left hand. The winner is the participant who can open the bottle of champagne the fastest.
Funny forfeits To hold the competition, you need to prepare forfeits in advance with the task: sing a song, dance a dance, show an acrobatic act or trick, make a toast, tell a joke, come up with a declaration of love, etc. The number of forfeits must correspond to the number of guests of the holiday. Each guest must take off a personal item and put it in an opaque box or bag: jewelry, watch, tie, scarf, gloves. Then the presenter reads out the forfeits one by one and takes out the guests’ personal items. The one who recognizes his item must complete the task.
What to give on Housing and Public Utilities Worker's Day?
So, before the cherished day - the third Sunday in March, you should decide on a gift. To please such a person, it is enough to buy a small cake or something sweet, especially for women and young girls. A jar of coffee or champagne can complement the gift. Any female housing and communal services worker will be happy with even an ordinary bouquet of flowers, and any male utility worker will be happy with a bottle of good cognac. The janitor will be sincerely grateful, even if you don’t give him anything at all. There is simply no need to litter in the area adjacent to the house and in the entrance.
