Re: Argument over $15 (long)
[ QUOTE ]
i agree. but i think this guy is being pretty generous to store his stuff for 3 months and only asks for help moving and $15 at the end of it all. i mean the OPs stuff was being moved too, it's a little different than if his friend jsut asked for help moving and not considering the part about his own stuff being there and needing to be moved also. [/ QUOTE ] Moving heavy furniture up and down three flights of stairs for 10 hours on a hot day is death. This alone is worth much more than $120 to me, and probably all the people in this scenario.

Re: Argument over $15 (long)
Just give him the $15. Why do you want to risk getting into an argument over this. It's the sort of petty thing girls get all bent out of shape over. The main difference between men and women IMHO.

Re: Argument over $15 (long)
The kind of friend that I would do this for would do the same for me. I expect him to show appreciation, that's it. The implicit understanding is that someday, and this day may never come, I can call on him for help with some shitty job.

Re: Argument over $15 (long)
UPDATE:
H reminded me about this yesterday (again) after severals weeks of not mentioning it (again). I explained it to him like this: Me: If I said I was going to rent a movie, then brought it back and had you guys watch it with me, then asked you for $2 after it was over, what would you say? H: I would call you a cheap ass. Me: Exactly. H: But that's COMPLETELY different. Me: ... "H" is far from dumb, but it took over an hour for him to understand my perspective. I kept making the argument that "C" should have paid but he argued that she didn't have to because she wasn't there. Our conversation thus went something like this: Me: So I wouldn't have had to pay if I didn't go on the trip to help you guys move? H: Yea. Me: Do you realize how difficult it would've been for just you two to move the apt by yourselves? Are you saying I have to pay because I HELPED you guys? H: Yea. That really pissed me off. Anyway, I'm gonna try to get "J" to pay for it, otherwise H is gonna be stuck $15.
