“You are friends are too old.”
I mean, the grammar might be wrong, but I am friends and I am too old.
I am even more older and I can’t English. So the meme checks out.
At least it has some novelty rather than the usual misuse of “your.”
If you’re over 35, just pay for AI spellcheck. Your English teachers are too old. Nobody wants to correct your 5th grade grammar mistakes for the 635th time for a groan and a raised eyebrow.
I hired movers for my last move. Best 300$ I ever spent.
I did not and I regretted it for a week after =(
Frie… what is that
Last move was was a full house, 900 miles. I had started the new job 2 months before and was flying home on the weekends to my wife and 2 kids.
We hired a young college kid who was on summer break to help us pack up for 2 weeks. She got pretty much everything I to boxes. We then had a regular shipping company drop off a semi box trailer. We hired 3 movers to load everything from the house and pack it into the trailer.
The trucking company drove the trailer up to our current place. We hired an other 3 movers to unload the trailer.
All together it was around 1/4 the price of what the moving companies quotes where asking. Hell it was only a few hundred bucks more than the u-haul rental would have been.
Good hack! It’s like the difference on price between event catering for a birthday, and event catering for a wedding.
“Moving house” is a rare occurrence, so they can charge a premium. “Load a truck with boxes” could be anything, and doesn’t attract the same overhead.
What if there’s literally only one object of any significant weight?
How many stairs, how awkward is it to get out, and how many “insignificant” boxes are there to put in the truck?
I more meant, what do people do in that situation? Not if you should force your old friend because it’s just one thing. Just make a craigslist post offering someone $50 to come help?
*Your
you people are weak as fuck
What a strong boy you are! Can you make a big muscle for us all, we wanna see how strong you are!
If a few 35 year olds can’t move some furniture, then yes, they are weak as fuck.
Athletic people never have back problems. Or knee. Never. It makes you perfectly healthy and invincible.
If you think you need to be athletic to move a couch you’re just proving my point for me
Never once. Never ever have issues. Completely invincible.
if you and your friend cant lift an oven, you seriously need to start exercise. but dont blame me when the mover gonna ask 2 months of salary.
I lift over 45000 total volume per week and do 300 miles a month on the bike in addition to my weekly BJJ. What’s your routine?
I’m just not dumb enough to conflate the ability to lift a couch and having bad knees or back.
Yes. You are spot on. All this “ it took 4 days to move”. Probably didn’t rent a truck and moved shit in cars.
My physical therapist tells me it’s not that my muscles are weak, it’s that my ligaments are made of boiled noodles that refuse to keep my joints in their proper place. I have a lifetime of unrecognized hypermobility to contend with. That damage to joints is cumulative. I’m not risking popping a joint out of place just to help someone move.
I just turned 40 and I go on 40 mile hikes in the mountains with 10,000 feet elevation gain. I am assuming the people making these comments are sedentary and moving is one of the only times when they actually have to use their bodies.
There’s a saying “the less you do, the less you do” that is applicable here.
Yeah it’s worrying seeing so many people my age claiming that they are falling apart. I’m 35 and my body is fine. The only wonky thing is that my face feels like it sets on fire if I yawn incorrectly, but I’m pretty sure that’s a TMJ injury caused from stress clenching rather than age.
The meme’s about people having their back in shit shape or that they’re basically invalids when they turn 30 are wild. I wonder if the ones memeing about it are 15 and 30 is basically a grandpa or if they’re 30 but haven’t had a day of exercise in their life.
I’m 54 and can run circles around most people, and I have light emphysema. These posts weird me out as well. Got a few theories about these people.
-
They’re fat and the extra weight has stressed their joints and back. If they’re American the odds are for it.
-
Never really exercised. Took my kids (9 & 11) on a hike to the creek. “How much further daddy?!” “Whole trip’s only 1.2 miles, we’re about halfway.” <howls of outrage> We started elementary gym class, every single day, with a mile jog.
-
Around 30+ is when you first start noticing that you’re aging and just might not be 10-foot tall and bulletproof much longer. Maybe they’re exaggerating?
- is probably a lot of it. You’re always the oldest you’ve ever been, and (as far as I know) everyone only ever experiences aging the first time. Everyone’s constantly pushing into unknown age territory and no one has the benefit of comparing how they feel now to how they’ll feel in the future, it’s just now vs when we were younger and likely fitter.
-
People really should consider lifting heavy stuff more often so their backs actually support them without a chair back.
Maybe we should open more green third spaces and stop policing state forced-breeding programs in athletic spaces.
I don’t think there’s lack of green third spaces in Finland but the same issue persists.I don’t know what you mean by “state forced-breeding programs in athletic spaces”
aw, sorry. Uspol. Enjoy your freedom!
Some of our best labor martyrs were Finnish-Americans.
I just think it will help people relax and focus on their bodies to be somewhere physically healthy they can focus on how being in a body feels, rather than if they’re performing body to script enough to not get hsssled while minding their own biz.
41 and fat but I was just at a music festival and can run circles around and had more endurance than most people in their 20’s. People are soft as fuck.
Some of my friends are younger than I and forget this shit.
Pivot! Pivot! PIVOT!
[off topic?]
The local liquor store will be happy to give you as many boxes as you want. Crushing those things is the worst part of the clerk’s day.
You can use clothing as padding for dishes. Saves space and you don’t have to throw out the old paper/packing peanuts you would have used.
Make two sets of keys before you move in.
Same for grocery stores where I’m from. Liquor stores are less common here of course since grocery stores can sell Liquor too.
Now that I have a house I never plan on moving. Before I had a house I owned so little that moving was trivial.
When I moved out of my shit apartment I had on van of stuff. Now, oh god. My garage has enough tools for a 24’ straight truck by itself probably.
Why move in an afternoon when you can turn it in to a month long ordeal?
You just need to increase your offer to 2 butt lights
- Moving $30 IKEA furniture to the trash before you pack up what’s basically six pieces of large luggage
Pizza and beer at the end of the night
- Moving a $25k piano to your McMansion in the suburbs

I’m 43 and I threw my back out for the first time in my life a little over a week ago. I did it putting on shoes. I was out of commission for 3 days.
For me the first time was when I just sat down wrong. I started lifting weights and I’ve been fine since. Can highly recommend. I only wish I’d started sooner.
We joked 5 yrs back about having to buddy up to get ski boots on. We’re now working out the rota!
