Since when does anyone listen to building representatives? What are they going to do? Make you move it all back?

It's always better to beg forgiveness than ask permission...

Waiting to hear back if they can deliver it and my husband and I carry the prices to the elevators ourselves. This is beyond stupid.

Stupid until someone gets hurt transporting it

What happens if y'all moved yourself? Very confused.

City?

Fort Lee, NJ. We have an elevator, so there is pretty much 0% chance of injury... we have to pay $500 deposit to reserve the damn elevator.

The building wants us to pay movers and I think it is absolutely bonkers. It *might* take 2 whole elevator trips. We are probably going to have them deliver it and we will carry the pieces into the elevator ourselves, but I'm just in awe of the excessive rules.

Oh wait this is your home? I was assuming office, was really confused about why you were bringing in personal furniture. Brain is fried. Yeah that's stupid 😂.

Yeah literally trying to move in 3 matching dressers and a table and chairs. They are all antiques and we are already paying the family friend a few hundred to bring to down to our apt since it is a 6 hr drive, so we don't want to pay another few hundred for insured movers to literally walk 100 ft to an elevator then another 20 ft to our apt. That's just absurd. They should be allowed to help us carry the pieces in.

Where is the line drawn? Can you bring in a stool?

Very blurry... we carried in my grandparents antique music chest (small) before the movers arrived, but we drove it over on a Friday night and they would not let us carry it in until Monday because they only allow furniture moves M-F 9a-5p

NYC?

NJ

I‘ve been in a relationship for 2 years, and my avoidant tendencies flare up every so often when I feel let down by my SO — e.g., usually when he’s blanked on something he should have done to make me feel more supported in work or social contexts. He knows this about me and supports me wholeheartedly as I continue to work through it — but I know I can be quite cold and distant in these rare but painful moments. How do others work through this, if at all?
