lww99 06/17/19 8:10:31 AM #1:	I helped my buddy move this weekend. Getting his stuff out of his roommates house wasnt too bad... but he moved into 3rd floor apartment. King sized bed, couch, dresser, entertainment center, etc. Probably 15 trips up and down 3 flights of stairs. Stuffy, hot ass stairway, with no elevator. So after were done, the friend we were helping suggested we go get dinner. Im under the assumption he is buying us food. We get there, he orders his shit, and asks for separate checks lmao. Thankfully my other friend spoke up, and and he ended up buying us food. But seriously spent 3 hours helping you, and you cant spend $40 on dinner.
