keep it general not to dox yourself and whatnot, just wondering if there’s anyone else adopting the fielder method. and also what’s the worst thing you have had to pick up and carry somewhere? for me it is a toss up between upright piano, heavy treadmill and slab of granite.

    Not exclusively lifting, but i’m a delivery driver so the handling of some unexpectedly large items can come into play. For the worst carry, one of my customers got two giant bags of dog food shipped in. Not terrible in and of itself, but this was right after the cold snap last year so everything was iced over and they hadn’t cleared their driveway…

    Business customers can be a real bear, too. One route I work has a factory at the start which sometimes puts out more outgoing parcels than I can fit in the truck by itself. They’re a marginal case where their output is too much for a carrier, but not quite enough that the district would consider allocating dedicated staff and a box truck for collections.
