After my grandmother died my cousin and I were helping my uncle clear out the house. I picked up a nightstand and found a roll of cash. About $3k. My grandparents were wealthy so it wasn't a surprise. We showed it to my uncle and he said, "What money? I don't see anything." That was our payment for being the only ones to show up and help.

Love it when a good deed is rewarded. My friend and I once helped a coworkers daughter move everythinf out of one house and into another with the promise of pizza and beer. What we got was a quick "thanks" and the door shut on me when we were done. I still want my damn pizza and beer...

When my husband's grandmother passed, his mom went through her closet tossing many old purses and coats in a big box and donated them straight away. When she went through the few items that she kept for herself, she found about $500. No telling how much money was in the stuff she donated without even looking.

Not embarrassing or disturbing, but profound.
A mom friend known for her frugality had cancer. It was caught at stage two meaning she had a fighting chance to beat it. (Spoiler alert: she would beat it!) I was at her house helping her get her kids off to school and I came back and she asked me to get a box down from her closet. It was full of pretty things that her husband had bought her that she didn't wear, "saving them for a special occasion." She felt "foolish" as she had had them for years, but never worn them. Everything from designer dresses to fancy lingerie like bras and stockings and panties. She had preferred to be frugal for her kids and family playing the part of a salt of the earth woman.
As I was helping her get ready for days of cancer treatments, she decided that on her good days, she was going to wear the slinky things.
She recovered and started wearing nice things every day.
She told me later that the day that we were looking at the lovelies that she felt a rebirth.

I don't understand the not using things mentality. About thirty years ago, Grandma gave all the young women in the family quilts. I had cats, so I kept mine folded up in a drawer. After I was arrested, Mom told me she sold my quilt. She was lying because she was so angry and hurt, but I believed her. After my release, I was staying in a less-than-ideal place, infected with roaches. Mom didn't want to give me the quilt while I was staying there, and I didn't know she still had it. When we got my house, she, Dad, and a couple of relatives took furniture and everything out and got it set up. When I got to my house, which I hadn't yet seen, the quilt was on my bed. I cried. Well, that quilt saw Bouche's and Audi's first year, has a rip in it, has a stain or two from medical issues and murdered mousie toys, but I will never put it in a drawer again. We use that quilt every day. I love to wrap myself in it, because it feels like Grandma hugging me.

I had an embroidered silk jacket, very beatiful, that I was given as a birthday present and never wore because it was too special, and I didn't want it to get worn out. I had it for two years and never wore it, then decided that was stupid and pointless, and wore it every day for six months. I wore it out. I wore it faded, and threadbare, and patched it, and wore it until it fell to pieces being dry cleaned. Wear the pretties, light the candles, use the good china. Wear it out, use it up, risk it breaking.

Wish I could upvote your comment 100 times! When I was diagnosed with a terminal illness, I decided to start wearing the pretty things saved for special occasions (that never came). Being housebound is very limiting, but even if I can't go anywhere, I can still feel good about what I'm wearing!

I've had the same mentality for years. I was always too fat, too busy, cleaning the house it will get wrecked, too nice to wear to work, cooking etc. Then in November i was diagnosed with spinal tumours and i am now permanently disabled. This was a complete wake up call because good days, skinny future days any day after tomorrow isn't guaranteed. So now i am fatter, still doing what i can at home but i wear my nice dresses and jewellery. I wear my fanciest turbans and it really does feel great.

Good people are sometimes called ‘salt of the earth people’. The origin of the expression Biblical, and almost always this term is used about Christians. In many parts of Christianity, historically (and today) things like being humble, and not wanting to stand out by f.ex. ‘fancy’ clothing were considered virtues. Also, sex was most often not seen as a constructive thing but often as dangerous or as ‘the way the devil gets you’. (Fun fact: not all religions view sex like this. In Judaism, f.ex. a married couple are often encouraged to have a rich and rewarding private life with each other- there’s even a saying: “once every night, twice on the Sabbath”. Can you imagine a Christian priest -in the past or now- reminding the adult/married part of the congregation to have double the fun because it’s the holy day.. 😉😆)

A number of years ago a friend lost his wife in a car accident. They had been married about 10 years, I think. I was visiting him and helping him get ready for the funeral and part of what he had to do was pick some clothes for her to wear in the casket. (Open casket funeral) He was going through her closet and drawers, trying to decide what would be best and opened one drawer and pulled out a bunch of really nice lingerie. “I got these for her on birthdays and for Christmas, but she never wore them. She was saving them for ‘something special’. I guess this is special enough.”

Helping a friend move with his dad and he asks me to be the one to carry this specific box to the truck. I, knowing my friend has not come out to his parents, assumed some stuff about the contents and said no more about it except "i accept this responsibility". I pick it up. Heavier than I expected it to be. The tape on the bottom gives and a single rubber d**k falls out. Right in front of his dad. My poor friend looks absolutely horrified. And his dad looks at him, asks "that thing clean?" Friend basically squeaks yes. Dad picks it up, tosses it back in the box and continues taking stuff to the truck. I get an update on the follow up in the next couple days. His dad has known he was gay since highschool.

One or two people asked about some way the Dad could have let the son know. But how? And maybe he did, but the son didn't catch on. And as far as just coming straight out with it, consider this scenario. My now-ex-husband's family had a sit-down with him and told him straight out that if he was gay, that it was okay, and he could tell them. But he wasn't gay. And they were not the first people to assume or guess he was gay and it bothered him (to some or or less extent - I'm not sure how much).
Bored Panda got in touch with the folks at “Two Men and a Truck,” a US based moving company and they were kind enough to share some of their experiences with us. Firstly, we wanted to hear what were the weirdest things they have had to move in their professional experience.
“Two Men and a Truck moving crews have moved many items throughout the years, from couches, tables, chairs, mattresses, pianos, and more. But those items are the common things that Two Men and a Truck movers see daily. A dragon figure, a zebra statue, and a football bench are not as common.”

Not moving but my friend had just bought a house from a nice old lady. We were gutting the basement so he could renovate it, and when we ripped down part of the ceiling an old leather satchel fell to the ground. We both looked at the satchel, looked at each other, and assumed we just found a bag full of cash. We opened it up, wondering how we were got spend our newfound fortune. There was no money. What there was were pictures. Lots of pictures. Of the nice old lady. And her husband. And their friends. And none of them were wearing any clothes. And they were apparently swingers. And they were into some freaky s**t. We did the only thing we felt was appropriate. When we put up the new ceiling we sealed it right back up in there for some future homeowners to stumble upon.

When I was a teenager, this guy down my street owned a pickup truck, and people would hire him for odd jobs. He would pick me up on the weekend, and we would go clear leaves, help people move furniture, paint rooms, whatever.
One day, he picks me up (I'm like 14), and tells me that an apartment complex manager got a hold of his number, and wants us to move the belongings of a woman that has been evicted. This is way before any TV show about hoarders or anything like that, so I have no idea what I'm in for.
It was a f*****g nightmare. There were piles of newspapers and pornographic magazines stacked as tall as a person. Every dish in the house was filthy. Rotted food containers of all shapes and sizes were strewn about. There were piles of s**t, actual s**t, in her house. I found a box of filthy, used, dildos and vibrators. Every square inch of her floor was covered in filth.
I actually had to use a flat edged metal shovel to scrarpe the filth off her carpet. Underneath everything was a layer of black putrescent jelly. Everywhere. We did that all f*****g day. No face mask, just a 14 year old kid that wanted pocket money.
Hardest $40 I ever made.

I had a similar experience at that age. After moving all the stacks of stuff out we pulled up layer upon layer of carpet where they had just carpeted over even more trash. Crushed cereal boxes, condoms, shell casings. In one room about 3 layers down were several ancient pot plants and the reflective foil they'd used to construct a grow room. Just carpet over it, right!? Ugh I need to go wash my hands just thinking about it all.

When my gramps was dying, he instructed his kids (who hated him) to leave the hospital and pack up his house, donate or trash anything and everything. Including his car. My dad reached under the cars seat and pulled out a shot gun that was cut in half, and the serial number scratched off. My dad’s finger prints were all over it so he freaked and called the police and explained himself. Apparently the cops got all giddy and explained how long they have been after him, connecting him to a murder, and this was the murder weapon they needed. I guess he shot his friend in his sleep over a gambling/money dispute.
He died 3 days later.

Friend asked me to hand him a set of pliers from a toolbox in the bedroom. Reached around, opened the toolbox behind me and found.....NOT tools. He and his wife kept their bedroom toys in a toolbox under the bed....that we were taking apart as they moved. Instead if tools, I was greeted with a large assortment of dildos, lube, condoms and other items I couldn't identify in the three seconds it took for my brain to start working again and decide this was NOT the box I was looking for. He turned bright red, slammed the box shut and disappeared with it. For years after, he couldn't say the word "Tool" around me without me having to stifle giggles and him turning red. lol.

I once had a legitimate klepto friend & she’d walk away with anything belonging to anyone, if it caught her eye. Friends & fam would call her & straight up ask if she had a particular item they were missing, she’d confirm such & make arrangements to get it back to them. When I helped her move across our island, I casually placed things that belonged to me in a separate box in clear view of her, never breaking conversation & acknowledging what I was doing it. She knew & had no qualms about. Choosing to be close to her made stuff like this just part of the process. Slightly annoying & taxing at times, but it was always just “stuff.”

As we moved things, he would slip them into the furniture, boxes, etc. Apparently drove other friends nuts for a week or more in the new place. They vowed revenge, hasn't happened, yet.

Good incentive to get them to unpack and pute everything away.
We also wanted to hear what misconceptions they have run into regarding this industry. “A common misconception when it comes to professional movers is that it’s significantly cheaper for people to rent a truck and do it themselves compared to hiring a professional moving company. When people hire professional movers, they’re paying them to handle all the heavy-lifting and possibly even the packing aspect too, but if someone opts to move themselves then everything from the planning, packing, and physical labor falls on them.”

My grandmother grew up during WW2. She came from relative poverty but worked extremely hard and gained a very well-paying job that allowed her to retire at 50 to a comfortable lifestyle. Didn't matter. She never managed to internalise her success and to this day she's so frugal that I grew up knowing the exact cost of my food and how much money I've wasted on that slice of carrot I didn't eat. She was extremely controlling about money. When her "useless, idiot, wasteful" husband died, we found one of his coats was too heavy and lumpy. When we cut open the padding, we found the poor man hiding about 3 years' worth of his salary sewn into his coat. Turns out that my grandmother, who used to be in finance, would take his salary to manage it. So my grandfather resorted to hiding money from her. I felt so sad for him. Yes, he had his problems, including being an alcoholic (undoubtedly exacerbated by my grandmother's behaviour). But to have to resort to sewing your money into your coat...

A friend of mine was the executor of an elderly relative's will after he died and was tasked with clearing out his home. He discovered 3-4 rolled up carpets and unrolled them to discover high-powered rifles hidden inside. My friend lives in Australia and it became illegal to own weapons of this type after the Port Arthur Massacre in the 90s. He immediately contacted the police and explained the situation and they took all the weapons away after a lengthy interview where they wanted to find out EVERYTHING about my friend's deceased relative. The level of interest the police had in the situation made my friend think their deceased relative might have been on police radars before he passed.

I don't think it's weird to have a skull, I have a few, I also have a prosthetic hand and a glass eyeball.

The eyeball belonged to my grandad who lost an eye and a leg to diabetes and alcoholism. My flat is full of random objects that I've collected throughout my life, everything has a story to tell.

Helped a female friend move years ago. She moved her mattress sans sheets and it was sooooooo stained from menstrual blood I thought I was going to gag. I was embarrassed hauling it across the parking lot. Also, she was moving it into a tiny storage unit and we just couldn’t make it fit so another friend bought off her for $50. That just floored me. .

Exactly. So many mammals don't/won't want to befoul their sleeping/living areas, so they almost WANT to be "housebroken" (so to speak.) Dogs, pigs, many other domesticated critters - easily housebroken. It just takes a bit of time and a bit of patience. Obviously OP's cousin didn't want to make the effort for his poor pig. :(

My grandpa passed away when I was 14. My dad then informed me that my grandpa was in prison for 14 years and was released the year before I was born. Rest of the family knew but for some reason my dad never wanted me to know. But despite being an Ivy League grad, member of Mensa, my grandparents were very poor and he turned to a life of petty crime to get by. The crimes got more serious as he continued and he even burglarized our local museum. That wasn’t what he went to prison for though, so he got away with the museum job. My grandma had died a couple years before he did. So he spent his last years in a cabin after selling the family home (all his choice). Anyway when he did die, we had to clean out the cabin. We came across a box that said *”if you find this and I’m still alive, please leave it alone. If you find this and I am dead, please do not open it and burn it”.* My idea of opening it got outvoted by my aunts and cousins who wanted to respect his wishes. I’ll always wonder what was in that box.

The mother of a guy I was dating was a former d**g addict. She had gotten clean and had been clean for years. She finally was able to buy a house and we were all so excited! We were packing up her little apartment and she had to warn us that when she was in active addiction she would hide d***s and paraphernalia throughout her house, and she was pretty sure she’d already disposed of everything over the years, but don’t freak out if we find something. Sure enough, we found a couple of needles and pipes hidden in the most random off the wall places, on top of cabinets she can’t even reach, behind the fridge, etc.

I'm a recovered addict, and I always take issue with the word "clean." It implies that addicts are somehow dirty, and we're not dirty; we're just sick.
AnkleByter 1 year ago
If it's a term an addict gives to themselves, there is nothing at all wrong with it. Some addicts do believe that their addiction makes them *feel* dirty, and there is nothing wrong with them coming to that conclusion. You don't have to use the term for yourself, or even feel the same way about yourself, but you should accept that others' journeys are not yours and that's okay too. No two people ever take the same path, what they use to get there is not nearly as important as getting there. If "there" means "clean" to them, that's awesome. If "there" simply means, "without my vices", that too is awesome. You can call your "there" whatever you want to call it, it's your journey.

This isn't mega disturbing or anything, I'm just easily scared by dolls :P. But, while helping a friend move, I stumbled upon an awkward discovery when I opened a mistakenly unlabeled box in the living room. It was packed with an extensive collection of porcelain dolls. Each doll had an unsettlingly realistic face, and some were arranged in poses that made them appear as if they were staring right at me. My friend walked in, noticed my frozen stance and the open box, and we both burst into laughter. She explained her grandmother had a penchant for collecting these dolls, and she inherited them unexpectedly. We quickly closed the box, but not before the eerie feeling had set in. It was definitely one of the more bizarre and disconcerting finds during a move!

I looked around, turned to the couple, and said, "No. Absolutely not" and practically ran back to my vehicle.

Helped a friend move many years ago. We had reconnected with each other after growing apart in college, over the suicide of a fellow friend, who had also grown apart from me at the time. No one ever told me how they actually died. Fast forward a year later, I'm moving boxes around in their place and found a box with our deceased friend's name on it. Thinking it was going to be a collection of photos or old things of his. I opened the box. There were pictures of said friend still in there, but...I also found out how they died. A now rusty knife, with the blood stains clearly set in, wrapped in their favorite shirt, now stained as well. We stopped talking after that. Never did get a straight answer for why they kept it.
