Don’t Ask Me to Help You Move
I am so sick of helping my friends move. It seems like once a month some old buddy calls me up asking if I can help him move all the way across the city. Why don’t these people just hire some Movers Chicago? It would be easier and they don’t cost that much. Plus it would not waste my Saturday!
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind helping out a friend in need. And, dutifully, if I don’t have any other project going on I suck it up and help the guy move. But I think I might need to change that policy. Here are a few of the reasons I can’t keep doing this.
First of all, control. People get very possessive and worried about their belongings during a move, which I understand. I mean you pay a lot of money for nice things and then you don’t want them to get damaged. But in that case just hire some movers Chicago. I know how to move a box or a table and I don’t need instructions. This is worst when the husband and the wife are not on the same page about how they want things done. Then they end up lashing out at each other or even their friends and it is just awkward for everybody.
I am going to have to learn to start saying no to this kind of stuff. Moving is a very big project and a lot of things can go wrong. Why you would want to involve all your friends on the scene is beyond me. I wish only the best for my friends but they need to start doing things like adults!
