So many friends I’ve helped move who almost seems surprised when we arrive, as if they didn’t know themselves they were moving.
I think most important point is, have your shit packed and ready, nothing more annoying than carrying out a sofa and see them neatly pack LPs or some shit in the background. MF you had a month to do this, I’m not moving for you I’m helping you move.
I helped a friend move in with his girlfriend, and they stood in the door to the new apartment and started arguing about where the large wardrobe should go - while me and another guy were standing on the stairs, carrying it.
When the argument turned to shouting, and they completely ignored us, we set the wardrobe down on the stairs and left.
When I moved I had planned out exactly where everything was to go when I got to the new place and boxed and labeled the boxes as to where they needed to be down to what items went into what drawers. I had a binder full of diagrams and everything. The people helping me move just needed to put the boxes in the truck and take them out at the new place based off what color the label on the box was. It was like 3 hours work total. Easiest move I’ve ever been involved in. If I hadn’t done it like that I’d have been so stressed out. It was still really stressful even though it went mostly smoothly. I don’t know how these people that just expect everyone to show up and do it all for them can live their lives like that.
Protip for when you need help moving:
