So today DH and I went to his friends new house to help them settle in. We got there an hour before them and the movers asked for our opinion where things go. The boxes were labeled by room but that's it. It's a 3-bedroom house and the owners never told the movers what the spare rooms are for. I helped them set-up the bedroom furniture which of course was wrong. Their set is huge and they weren't happy about re-arranging it.
Anyway we spent 8 hours there doing nothing. My instincts were telling me to start cleaning the kitchen/bathroom anything but they were hiring cleaners to come tomorrow. Their oven they bought with them was disgusting. The knobs were sticky & the top range was worse. Apparently neither of them understand what ammonia is used for. They had it over a year and I don't think they ever wiped it clean.
After the movers left I was ready to unbox something and V-the wife just sat on her butt. I suggested making the bed so they could relax when we left. She took the bedding out and asked me how to put the bed-skirt on. She had no idea how to make the bed!
I then suggested we set up the bathroom. I was trying to think of things that you need & would appreciate after a long day of moving. We finally find the box and it didn't like she knew how to fold. Here I am nicely folding the towels while she is just throwing them in the closet randomly. She even forgot to leave towels out for tomorrow. What is with this girl! She definitely isn't domesticated at all.
J's(the husband) dad was trying to hook up the washer and needed to run to Home Depot. After we ate pizza he made a list and stated he hoped they unpack the lamps so he has light when he gets back. Again J & V just sat there. So I went on a mission to find lamps. Of course this meant opening every box since none of them were marked with the contents. My best finding was a small bathroom trashcan in it's own box. Why it was boxed is beyond me. It looks like the movers never packed the living room lamps.
V agreed with J for 2 hours about who should call the movers. When we left at 8pm neither of them gave in yet.
After the pizza the rug company showed up for measurements. You had to see his face. They expect to have the rugs installed tomorrow. The guy told them the rugs should have been done before the furniture was put in. Then it came time to pick out a color. The couple looked and DH and I and expected us to make the decision for them. I almost told them to go dark brown just to annoy them.
This couple is so clueless. I can't imagine moving into a house without cleaning or vacuuming! The movers said that his couple had more junk in the duplex than others they moved from large houses.
Oh and the walls are so dirty. You can see where things were hung. They told me that they are just going to touch up the holes. I asked why would you just touch up & not clean the walls? I suggested they repaint the walls since they have the paint. The owners left cans of each paint used in the house.
Ugh! I could never live like these two. They are horrible with their finances. I would never hirer cleaners if I was on a tight budget. The whole time DH just kept saying "you really LOOOOVE me". It was comical to see this couple in action. DH & I appreciate each other more after today
OK thanks for letting me vent!
