Lex,
I told people three weeks ahead of time that I was being foreclosed on and I had to be out of there by such and such. When it got down to the last few days, I called these uh friends to come over. I had eight of them show up to pack (awesome eh?) At that time I told them all that the rental truck would be there the next day at 4PM and anyone who could help even for short time would be totally welcome and appreciated.
Next day NONE of them showed up.
I fortunately found another "friend" and a neighbor kid who helped me load up and drop off the majority of what I had (very nice of him,thank you, ) the neighbor kid however was half-assed and broke some things, and yes, I ended up paying him anyway.
Yet two days later my "friend"called and asked if I still had stuff to move and when I said I did, and he spent a good ten minutes TELLING me what I had to do and "get the neighbor kid and his buddies" to help. ( I didn't need to be told what to do, I needed his fu**in help!
Reason he couldn't do it, is because he had to rotate his 26 year old kids tires and start painting a room.
I was too stunned to even make a comment.
I finally found a rather not close friend (that status has changed now ;-) with him his wife and daughter coming over on the last minute and finishing me up.
And yes, they got pizza,salad,drinks and dessert!
A guess would be, and I don't intend to patronize,or be facetious with you, is you are younger, obviously have a better class of friends than I do (did?)and a lot more optimism about/with them. I honestly hope with the exception of aging, that those doesn't change for you, as you are indeed fortunate.
Because I sure learned a lesson about MY friendships...
(sorry for the rant and taking the topic a bit off tangent)
