Helping someone else move is a big deal. It's the creme de la creme of generosity and kindness. You wouldn't expect anybody except your closest friend or a blood relative to help, and even then they probably get a pass. Because moving is terrible. It's always more work than you think it's going to be, it's stressful, it involves manual labor, and it's expensive. Unless all you have to your name is a backpack, I would rather walk across hot coals than help you move. Even more so if it somehow involves a trip to Ikea.
So it's no wonder that the man in this story was so upset when his girlfriend volunteered him to help her coworker move, without his consent. Anyone in his situation would be understandably miffed, but his girlfriend didn't seem to get the message. Read on for the story and see what you would have done in this situation.
