    Its an infrequent question you get if you dont own a car in the US. With mass transit generally being shit everywhere, but slightly less shit in cities, people who dont live in cities think moving things around is impossible, because a car is the only possibility that they are personally acquainted with.

    Its not impossible, just vaguely awkward sometimes as this meme shows, which is a solid tradeoff for not having to deal with all the bullshit owning a car entails.

      I mean it’s awkward if you’re moving a chair. Moving house though can be a real pain if you’re not paying for movers.

      I think the association here is more “you barely even walk into Walmart, I carry my house with my own legs when move.”

        Ive rolled a queen bed from house to house on a dolley before, along with many other things. Pulled my old couch to the same house on its one good rolling wheel. The grand old “5 block city move.” It wouldn’t be realistic to do outside of a city, but it also took some real grit and just embracing the stupid to do there.

        The fun part? Several people honked and waved, while others offered to help. People loved seeing someone just hulking that shit down the road. One of those nice “city people” moments.

        I think your summation of the sass is better than mine, to be sure.
