In every neighborhood lies a choosing beggar just waiting to demand something unnecessary. Sometimes, it's the people next door who ask you watch the dog more frequently than they do without returning the favor in any way. Other times, it's the person across the street who keeps asking for your help mowing the lawn and doing house chores while enacting strict rules for you to follow as if you're their employee.

In this instance, we have an entitled couple who posted on Facebook marketplace and demanded that someone nearby pack all their boxes for them and help them move out of their home. To make matters worse, there was a long list of rules people must follow if they were "interested." That list included the disclaimer that their pay could be withheld if they felt you didn't do a good job. It also included a rule that you couldn't take breaks unless you were working two hours straight. Who are these people and why did they think Facebook Marketplace was the right place to post this insane request?

Here's hoping nobody took them up on their offer so that they might finally come to the realization that their request was totally out of line. Keep scrolling below for the full story and for the best reactions from members of this online community.

  • I was scrolling through my local fb marketplace when I stumbled upon an absolute gem. It's a couple asking for people to clean and move things for them. I didn't know we couldn't post screenshots but I will copy and paste the list of demands they had below.

  • We need a third and forth set of hands to help us move in to our new House! Flexible schedule after the unload, but we need someones starting September 5th, 6th and 7th for the initial moving truck delivery! They will carry everything in, we need to direct traffic!

  • This will NOT work if: You can't laugh and have fun. You're SENSITIVE to heat, light, work and being useful. You require a safe space. You don't have a car. Your watch is broken and you can't show up when you commit to. You can't work without being supervised every minute. You can't work 2 hours

  • straight without whining You feel the need to rethink everything instead of just following instructions. IE you start every sentence with "I thought" lol You can't work 15 minutes straight without checking your Tik Tok or IG.

  • Some people we tip WELL, some we ask for a refund! WHICH ARE YOU???

  • Literally imagine telling people you will let them work for you all day and then take the money they owe you and say you don't deserve it Imao. Beyond that the rest of it is a train wreck too. lol I hope no one falls for these people's crop.

  • Lucky-Guess8786 · 5h ago Wow. Wonder if they found any suckers helpers? People like that learned it from someone/somewhere. I'm happy to not know them. LOL

  • Mamamagpie • 5h ago . When I have moved friends and family happily volunteered. We have clear evidence of why they don't have friends and their family has gone NC.

  • aubrey_25_99.4h ago It's the prejudgment for me. It reads like it's supposed to be offensive to a certain demographic/generation of people. Unfortunately for them,

  • it's the demographic most likely to be available to help them. And, if you're prejudging people before they've even done a minute of work for you, then you're probably not going to be that great to work for, IMO.

  • I mean, they're demanding that whoever they hire have the ability to "laugh and have fun," but this is the least fun thing I have read this morning, so right off the bat there is a double standard in play. I feel like this job would be rife with double standards. LOL.

  • And, who gets to be the judge of what's fun enough, productive enough, and useful enough? Them. So this whole thing just reads like a setup where they can decide you weren't worthy of the work and then not pay you for it. No, thank you.

  • Wakemeup3000 • 5h ago Or they could do what we common humans do when moving. Direct movers to place things in the correct rooms and location and then after they leave unpack and clean yourself.

  • • East-Reaction4157 5h ago I get they think they think they funny but am betting they are insufferable in person. I am the same way sadly and keep the joking out of things bc it doesn't translate well and just comes off like a and have learned that.

  • Bkseneca 4h ago Moving help is a BIG ask of anyone and these people will....." direct traffic" while their underpaid volunteers do all of the work. ?????
