Tbh, I'm hurt when somebody I consider myself friends with moves, and doesn't ask me for help.
Same. It s an excruciating process, I feel bad to not share the load lol
That's never stopped socially maladjusted twitter freaks before :shrug-outta-hecks:
Not really sociopath, just standard upper-middle class lib who wants to pretend their behaviours are such due to moral goodness rather than ability to afford a product or service.
Yeah I bet a lot of it is just rationalizing the fact they are spending a bunch of money instead of just doing it themselves.
Fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you. Helping friends with stuff is the only shred of community we have left in this atomized nightmare country. Go share labor with the people you love, you lazy self-righteous yuppie. And don't go looking for some member of the new servant class to carry your too many fucking boxes of shit you don't need down three flights of stairs for you.
I have a certain sympathy for people who are afraid of asking for help (this is probably why I meddle in their affairs so much) but being afraid of asking for help and demanding that everyone else be afraid of asking for help is not okay.
why would helping move even be a strain on a relationship? you'd have to have the most obnoxious stuff/work manners to make doing shit & hanging out with your -friends- a miserable experience
I feel bad making my friend move my old mattress with a bunch of suspect stains on it. I don't mind helping people move though. I think this is the essence of this dialectic.
the dialectic is between you, ashamed of your suspect mattress stains, and i, proudly pointing them out :garf-troll:
"I fear not the man whose mattress has 10,000 stains, but I fear the man whose mattress has one stain 10,000 times."
I never mind helping friends move. It's a hangout plus physical activity often with the promise of beers or food after. Good times. Hate moving myself though because it's so god damn stressful
When I moved into my current house, my friend showed up unprompted to help me unload my shit. I didn't need his help but god damn it was such a cool thing to do, love that guy.
I will hire movers when I next move but that's only because I don't want friends and family seeing The Collection
:volcel-judge: I'm sorry comrade, we seem to be having a miscommunication, this is a probe to make sure this citizen's life is sex-free.

people shouldn't move in the sense they take everything from one house and move it to another. they should just leave 90% of the stuff behind and find 90% of a furnished house when they arrive at the new place. anything else is private property brainworms.
sorry i'm trying to channel twitterbrain
The GDR had standardized sizes for kitchens both in the sense of furniture / appliances and in the sense of rooms and honestly? Please.
This is what happens when a throwaway joke from the worst TV show of all time becomea your entire worldview.
It's just fucking bizarre to have an opinion on a thing when you're working with so little info.
Like, the difference between helping a friend move dorms versus helping your 70 year old mother downsize from her ranch home is... significant. Nevermind the financials - movers aren't cheap.
This whole thread must read like "The Worst People You Know" mashed up with a :jordan-eboy-peterson: lecture.
Yeah.
Well off 30 year old friend moving from one large house to another with all their furniture? Hire movers or call the Mormons.
Poorer family member or friend moving to a new apartment or home? Get off your ass and help them already
Yeah just act vaguely interested in their lessons like a week before then call up the missionaries and ask for help moving
helping your 70 year old mother downsize from her ranch home
this sounds like one of the worst possible cases
I'll always help a friend move, it's the right thing to do
Also a friend I helped move was cool enough to pick me up from jail in the middle of the night when I had no one else, so I was more than paid back for that
