  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

If I could choose I'd exclusively get dismantable furniture so that I can move it myself for the same reason.

I carried a (admittedly light) couch up to my 3rd floor condo on my back so I get it.

Least painful option for sure.

If I had a friend, I would ask them, but here we are.

The number of times I have been in that situation is to damn high. Even if I do have a friend around it will usually be someone who can't pick up the other side of the coach somehow. So then you throw the whole damn thing on your back and carry it up/down the apartment stairs and wonder why it was so much harder than it was a few years earlier. "I need to be able to afford movers next time" you think... As you move someplace with unaffordable rent and your best friend debt riding in back seat.

I am in this photo and I don't like it.

First off, how dare you?

I do stuff like this and make shit way harder on myself than it has to be on purpose, even when I have options. But it's some weird self-improvment thing where I want to make sure I can reliably do things on my own for the times I need to.

You're helping by being a spotter in case I actually do need help. I can carry one measly fridge/freezer combo up the stairs by myself, trust.

May I please admit to the metric fuck ton of awkward things I’ve transported by rolling them on a skateboard?

Skaters are not only good at balancing after a few years practice, but they come with their own handy miniature moving van accessory.
