I don't know people expect me to sympathize with their financial problems when i dont have a single damn cent to my name. One time this friend of a friend asked me and some other ppl to help him move for 5 days. I asked if it would pay and he said no cause he wasn't working right. So i tell him no and make up some excuse. So later on my friend texts me saying how disappointed they all are and how i should do favors for friends. I dont know this dude that much, free moving jobs are for longtime buddies and family. Not some friend of a friend who thinks he's too good to shell out cash for it. A big moving job is not a "favor". moving a stereo system or something into his house is a favor. Giving a ride is a favor, five days of moving is a JOB and im far far too broke to be everyones free labor service when shit isint all rainbows and sunshine for me either.
I wouldn't help anyone move for 5 days. If they had that much shit that it would take 5 days to move they are rich enough to pay for movers. What does this guy live in a fuckin mansion?
lol he lived in an apratment, but somehow the whole thing took 5 days for him cause he got some jackasses with no self respect to do it for free.
I think you're fair in your opinion - I'd be the same as you. Not if you don't even know the person. If I was moving I definitely wouldn't expect a friend of a friend to help me. The thought wouldn't even cross my mind.
I wouldn't do that for free. If it was family or longtime friends then yeh, but not a standard friend.
A favor doesn't matter how much work it is, a favor is free, and a job is paid. But that doesn't change that 5 days is a lot of work. I wouldn't do it either, and neither would my best friend. It's just too much time. That's something you ask family for. In a true friendship, small things like denying a favor ( especially that big ) don't matter and shouldn't affect the friendship.
