Why DIY Moving Is Like a Reality Show You Didn’t Sign Up For
Moving day has arrived, and you’re feeling confident. Your plan? Rope in your friends, slap some pizza on the table as payment, and turn your entire home into a live-action version of The Hunger Games: Furniture Edition.
Scene 1: The Couch That Won’t Quit
It’s only the first item of the day—a simple couch. But wait! What’s this? Suddenly, it’s a math problem:
- Friend #1 is pulling, shouting, “Pivot!”
- Friend #2 is pushing, shouting, “Pivot WHERE?!”
- The couch is now lodged between the hallway and your sanity.
Result? A hole in your wall, three bruised egos, and one friend who’s declared themselves “retired from helping forever.”
Scene 2: The Fridge Fiasco
Next up: the fridge. Simple enough, right? Wrong. Your crew’s first mistake is thinking they don’t need to empty it first (“It’ll save time!”). Now, you’re dodging a slow-motion landslide of mustard bottles and leftover lasagna as the fridge tips precariously.
Result? Your fridge is stuck halfway out the door, your best friend is covered in mayonnaise, and your moving timeline is officially derailed.
Scene 3: The Tetris Master’s Downfall
Finally, it’s time to pack the truck. Everyone’s confident—until you realize your king-size mattress isn’t “technically” smaller than the truck. Cue the frantic rearranging of boxes, lamps, and one very stressed dog.
Result? You’ve got a truck full of items, a driveway full of items, and one genius who suggests, “Maybe we’ll just make two trips?”
Why DIY Moving Never Works
DIY moving is great… if you like chaos, tears, and questioning every life decision you’ve ever made. But for the rest of us? It’s better to call the pros.
