Am I the only one coming away from this post actually impressed with the idea?

Until you hit a crack in the ground lol

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.

You are not the only one who feels this way.

If nobody's got me, rolling office chair's got me.

Its looks like a herman miller aeron

[–] deadly4u@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] three@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

have you ever thought about volunteering anywhere? that could be a good place to get started helping people.

If his friends are anything like mine, he did ask for help and this is all his friends who came to help......

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

[–] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Ahhh my best mates a Brent, he wonders why he always gets semi abusive voice mails all the time, answer your phone once this century mate.

I'm in that picture and it doesn't feel good.

[–] Pregnenolone@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I’d be way more proud of this though

What it feels like being drunk out of my mind trying to navigate my wheelchair bound grandma back home after an aggravated afternoon of boggle.

[–] guyrocket@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Always be careful with stairs though.

Reminds me of an old Jewish mother joke.

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

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

that's actually super smart yet so dumb

[–] CMDR_Horn@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] deadly4u@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is this guy using a Herman Miller Aeron as a towing dolly? Lol

[–] Lowered_lifted@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Getting bougie with it

[–] Sir_Kevin@discuss.online 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Beelzebob@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] MargotRobbie@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Could have just rented a dolly from Home Depot...

[–] Cap@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

The La-Z-Boy couldn't be bothered.
