The Most-Hated Favor: Helping Someone Move

There are THREE kinds of favors:  The minor kind people like helping with . . . the major kind people will reluctantly help with . . . and someone asking for help with a move, which is the worst.  

In a survey, 38% of people say they (secretly) hate even being asked to help a friend or family member move.

That makes sense.  It’s hard to get out of . . . it takes a long time . . . and it typically involves stress, manual labor, and the risks of messing stuff up.

If you’re the one needing help, people say the top three things you can do to sweeten the pot are:  BUYING food and drinks . . . PAYING for the help . . . and PROMISING to return the favor when the time comes.

So why don’t people just hire professionals?  54% of people say it’s too expensive.  29% say they don’t feel like they need “professionals.”  And 17% say they don’t trust strangers with their stuff.
