    I don’t want to be a bother to anyone. But if anyone asks me I will gladly help and not think of them as a bother. I don’t know why I can’t, in the moment, realize others most likely feel the same. Must be a self esteem thing.

        I commented the same thing before I found your post.

        I love my Aeron. Picked it up in excellent shape for 70% below retail from a bankruptcy liquidator.

    I’m actually this kind of person, and sometimes I wish I had asked others for help.

    I feel like I never actually helped anyone so I do not deserve anything.

      Michael complained about his back, Gary said his truck broke down, and Brent, of course, isn’t answering his phone.

    Reminds me of an old Jewish mother joke.

    How many Jewish mothers does it take to change a lightbulb?

    Wheels are always a great idea when moving things. Big straps also great (thank you forearm forklifts).

    I did an entire move once using an office chair like this. Fortunately both apartments were in the same complex.

      Should’ve asked the maintenance guy to use his dolly. Most are pretty cool about stuff like that.

    I just hung 4 shelves in my garage. 2 were 8ft long, and 2 were 10ft long. I’m proud to have done it by myself

      That’s awesome! There’s a home improvement comm around here somewhere that seems to have a lot of DIYers.

    Would choose to you pull and risk damaging the lounge, or push and risk damaging the chair.
