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.
