A new study has found one in four Americans will "try anything" to get out of helping others move.
Commissioned by Safeway Moving and conducted by Talker Research, the poll of 2,000 U.S. adults found 22% have wriggled out of helping others when asked, and 35% have faced the same from others when asking for help during their own moves.
More than a third (38%) also secretly hate being asked to help their friends and family move — they can only entice help through payments of food and drinks (38%), money (33%) or returning the favor when the time comes (17%).
Many describe moving as stressful (60%), exhausting (53%) and downright nerve-wracking (33%). So much so, 57% admitted they've seriously reconsidered their moving ambitions due to how tiring of a process it can be.
