So I had a basket of logs. Liftable by one person but to save my back the wife helped.
Its a featherweight lift for two and needed to go nine steps across the lounge.
We picked it up and went 3 steps when she stopped dead. “I’ll do it myself” she says. Well yes she could, as could I but we’ve started now and it would be quicker to carry on and put it down in 2 seconds time where it needs to go rather than put it down for her to lift up again. We’re in this frustrating stand off 5 feet from our destination and I sharply told her “Just carry on”. She did but then stormed off in a huff because I’d been sharp.
So now literally a 7 second job has taken 30 seconds and a row.
