I gave my daughter a 48 inch projection TV. She lived on the 3rd floor and when she moved the TV was pretty much junk. My son and his cousin were roped into helping her move.True story, I was moving out an apt, 2nd floor, the ground floor being a parking deck. I had a big ugly brown sleeper sofa that I got at a yard sale. A friend and I were trying to get this sofa down the hall to the elevator, then down to the Uhaul truck. It weighed a couple hundred pounds, was royal pain to move.
We finally get it on the elevator. As it happened we were both at the back of the elevator, had trouble reaching the buttons. The elevator finally goes down but stops on the 1st floor, the door opened.
At that moment the sofa unfolded into the hall! Now we have a sleeper sofa in the hall and in the elevator! I had to laugh! We were howling!
As it happened a lady was standing there waiting to get on. I had difficulty just getting out of the elevator. Finally, I was able apologize for the situation and half joking asked if she were interested in buying a sleeper sofa.
She said yes!!! I sold it for $10 (only paid $5). We didn’t even fold it back up until we were in her living room. My buddy and I just slid it down the hall on it’s end!!!
Problem solved! I did not want to fold that thing up and try to stuff it into the elevator again.
Sounds like my neighborhood.I remember riding by a house several days that had a refrigerator by the curb, with sign that said "free". It sat there for a couple of weeks. One day the refrigerator was gone and the home owner was standing by the curb. I stopped and said "I see you finally got rid of the refrigerator" and he said "not exactly". He said I took down the "free" sign and put a sign "For Sale $25"....."the next day someone stole the refrigerator".

If you are as old as dirt, your record player had 78 on it too.
That happened to my uncle, he was trying to give away a small trailer, just for a joke my cousin stuck a for sale sign on it and someone stole it 3 days later.I remember riding by a house several days that had a refrigerator by the curb, with sign that said "free".
