It's gonna take up most of my weekend and I won't have any time for video games.

I fucking hate moving. Whether it's me or helping someone else. I'm always sore as fuck afterwards. Grumble grumble grumble.

When someone asks me to help them move I just say no. I dont even provide an excuse. I wont help you move because I would rather just enjoy my day.

No. At least not in cash. I'll get fed though.

I don't expect to be paid when helping friends move. (I'm helping my friend's mom move)

I think she's paying for a hotel room for my friend and I to stay Saturday night since it's too far to drive back.

What about when you need someone to help you move though?

I hate moving, but I'll still do it if people ask. The guy whose mom I'm moving has helped me move in the past.

If it's a close friend then yea you're kinda screwed. Just sucks it's so far away so it's gonna legit take up 2 days for it. Hopefully they at least have everything packed and ready to go.

I really try not to ask friends to do things like that. It's just one of those inconvenient things that I don't want to make a friend feel forced to do.

But I get hiring movers can be really expensive also.

I've never paid anyone cash or received cash for helping friends move.

Pizza and beer is the standard payment where I come from.

I'm 30, and decided I was done helping people move. We're old enough and established enough to hire a mover.

I make a couple minor exceptions, like when my one friend moved around the block and lived in a one room tiny apartment, or when my little brother needed help with some coffee tables, but I'm not moving big dressers or terrariums anymore.

I usually never help people move with very few exceptions (VERY CLOSE friends or family only)

My reason why is because I might get injured helping them move and I will not get paid for days I miss from work because theres no workers comp for this. It sounds selfish but Im protecting my source of money.

I hear ya. I'm always getting asked to help people move. If I'm free, I suck it up and do it for the pizza and beer.

I get free food, a free drunk on, and I get to chill with my homies, so it could be worse.

I'll make the best of it even though I hate the actual moving part. Getting put up in a hotel for Saturday night will be nice too.

One time me and another buddy took my truck to help another friend of ours and his girlfriend move across town to a new apartment. It was a 2 hour drive there, we get there and they didn't have shit packed.

We start taking some stuff to their new apartment and when we get there, they don't have the keys for the place yet. They go into the office for like 45-60 mins and than we can finally start to take some stuff up. This was a back and forth type move with only my truck because they didn't have a vehicle.

I was so pissed because I wasn't expecting to be up there all day and wanted to get back home to catch a game on that night.

I have a truck but now anytime someone asks for helping moving stuff I just tell them to go rent a U-Haul. I'll be there to help load and unload it.

Helping someone who doesn't have their shit packed is one of my biggest pet peeves. I'd have been more than happy to hang out and done some packing with you casually on a different day. When I'm moving heavy stuff around all day, I just want to hurry it up and get done though. Don't outright waste my time.

The worst is having someone expect you to help move a dresser when it's still full of shit.

Thankfully, I know that won't be the case this time.

If people get upset about helping someone then they ain't your friend, just an acquaintance. Goes the other way too. Ask too much and you are just a mooch that takes advantage of friends.

I'm not truly upset. I'm just grumbling on CE because I hate moving in general.

The guy I'm helping is a dear friend. I'd do anything for him.

I don't drive myself, but I know that anyone who drives a pickup and has friends will always be on that list.

We always appreciate those friends too.
