My sister's asked me to help her move some stuff out of her storage unit and I'm happy to help and I will shut up and do as I'm told and i will not lose my temper and throw something at her and I will not question her even though she does things the wrong way and I will pray.
When I was helping my bro and SIL move their shit recently they did fuck all and I'm still bitter. They didn't even prepare things for moving. I rocked up to a complete mess and was expected to both organise their shit and move it.
They just stood around watching. When I was carrying their (heavy) chair from the truck, bro said "oh can you just put it in the lounge room" which was the straw that broke the camel's back. The audacity. I said fuck off. That felt good.
You should've thrown a "What's wrong with your fucking legs?".
My biggest fear is we will get half way through moving boxes for her to decide maybe they should've gone on the otherside.
I'm also gonna hear a lot of "this is what I want" with unnecessary explanations. As my husband says " just shut up and deliver the baby".
:)
Send them an invoice - at $100 per hour minimum. Plus travel costs. Add danger money if they get rude.
In hindsight shoulda done that heh.
I hope CEOs help goes a bit more noticed. It's an awful feeling being used.
She'll appreciate it and say it a million times.
duuuuude, learn to stand up for yourself.
I used to be a removalist.
I feel your pain lol
You're a braver person than I am. Soricide is still against the law, but soooo tempting in these circumstances. Still, its her stuff so she gets to decide.
I am brave.
your sister is silly
cos I'm thinking sometimes it's really nice to have someone I trust tell me I'm wrong or doing something wrong and then show me the right way
That's not the way she sees it.
I see it as them saying "let me help you" π
I understand other people may see it as "You are wrong and stupid and less than me." π
No. It's more "I have a reason for this. Let me explain it to you. It won't take long". Meanwhile I've just watched grass grow.
ugh, self hair pulling ensues
I'm old. All I care about is the results.
