Ok so I halfass got dragged into this thing between some friends of mine, and I figure it was interesting enough to post up.
Backstory There's Couple XY, Wife X is orig from Texas, Husband Y has lived all over, they both lived in NYC for the past several years. Wife X is 31, Husband Y is 34. Girl Z, 27, grew up in Syracuse and North Carolina, and ended up working in NYC. She met them while working with Wife X about three years ago, and became very good friends with Couple XY. Girl Z went through a lot of tough times and Couple XY helped her out. Like family almost. Wife X got a job at NASA, followed by Husband Y, (then me), then Girl Z. I work with Husband Y & Girl Z, Wife X works in another building. Story So Couple XY just moved into a new house. Myself and Girl Z helped out a ton for a solid week or so before their movers came to get the big stuff. Wife X was completely stressed out the whole time and needed Girl Z around for support. Well Girl Z had some friends (she sees ~4-5 times per year) come into town this past Friday night, to hang out for the weekend. The big move was Saturday, and Girl Z decided to get up early to go help Couple XY while her friends were still asleep, but the rest of the day she hung out with her friends. When her friends left on Sunday early afternoon, Girl Z went straight over to help again. Result Couple XY feels like Girl Z has wronged them because entertaining some "lesser" friends was not as important as being there for them during their time of stress. Couple XY is so upset they're questioning their friendship with Girl Z. Girl Z is upset by this. |

Yeah, it would have cost probably only around an extra $600 to get packers and for the movers to move all the boxes.
Why does everyone think moving is such a big deal? I mean, maybe this couple should be introduced to the life of the Army or something. We have done two major moves in the last 8 months. One move was an 18 hour drive with packers and movers and the other was a 1 hour drive with movers. It's stressful, but it's life. I'm sure they have way more crap than we do, but that's why you ASK for friends to help.... not ask and then DEMAND that they stay there until all facets of the move are completed and your emotionally stable again. And why does Will post something retarded and totally unnecessary in every thread he visits... |
