The actual moving of the items really isn't the worst part, it's when they're totally unprepared and you're having to pick through stuff and thow it into boxes as you go. -- nm - Ender Jan 6, 08:43 16

- The key is to get, like, a thousand friends to show up. Everyone carries one item each. After a few trips, you are done. Easypeasy. -- nm - Spawn Jan 6, 08:51 4

- I had a former friend do that to us... - Mel Profit Jan 6, 08:49 4
  - About 5 friends and I had it happen to us once and then the pizza and beer they promised turned into 3 crappy pizzas and a 6-pack. - Ender Jan 6, 08:52 3
    - It's a classic way to ruin a friendship. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 6, 08:57
    - And it was 95 degrees that day and their new house had no AC. -- nm - Ender Jan 6, 08:54 1
      - oooof - znufrii Jan 6, 08:59
- See? This is where I sit. I'm happy to move my friends anytime they need me...but they damn well better be packed. Cause I ain't packing them AND - Jim Jan 6, 08:44 4
  - My dad did this: asked me to get my friends to help him move, and then hadn't packed. - TFox Jan 6, 08:49
  - me too. i really don't hate moving people at all. -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 08:47 1

  - *nods* Be ready. That's rule #2....right after proper payment = booze and pizza. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 6, 08:46
i've been paying for movers for about 15 years now (instead of asking friends). But, with a "one flight up" move, i'd probably wing it on my own. -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 08:37
My best moving story: In college, a buddy moved twice in the same year. I helped move him and told him he had used up his credit. - Spawn Jan 6, 08:36 3
- well done. -- nm - znufrii Jan 6, 08:37
- nice -- nm - amoxy Jan 6, 08:37
- Good for him. -- nm - TFox Jan 6, 08:37
Every moving discussion has to end with something about a NYC walkup -- nm - con_carne Jan 6, 08:34 5
