One story I know is that a couple was moving in summer. They had a large aquarium with many fish. When they were transporting it to the new place, the truck hit a small bump and some water splashed out. The fish were all wiggling around more than usual, and the couple was in a panic trying to keep the water in the tank. But looking back, they laugh about how crazy it was.
Sure. One funny summer moving story is when my friend was moving in the middle of a heatwave. They had hired some movers who were all sweating buckets. As they were carrying a large couch up the stairs, one of the movers slipped on a small puddle of his own sweat and almost dropped the couch. Everyone had a good laugh despite the chaos of the move.
A colleague of mine was moving out of his apartment. He had labeled all his boxes very carefully. However, when he got to his new place, he realized he had mislabeled two boxes. One box labeled 'books' was full of his winter clothes and the box labeled 'clothes' had all his books. It took him ages to sort everything out and he still chuckles about his own mistake.
Once, my friend was moving. His cat got so confused and hid in a box labeled 'fragile'. When they opened it at the new place, the cat jumped out looking all disheveled. It was hilarious.
Sure. Once, a little boy found a lost puppy on the street. He was so small himself but he carried the puppy all the way home. He gave the puppy his own food and made a little bed for it. His kindness was really moving.
One end of summer funny story is when my friends and I went to the beach for the last time before fall. We decided to have a sandcastle building competition. My friend tried to make a huge, elaborate castle but accidentally sat on it just as he was putting the final touches. It was hilarious as the sand went everywhere, especially all over his swim trunks.
Here's another one. A young couple was moving out. They had a fish tank. They drained most of the water but forgot to take out the fish. As they were carrying the tank to the car, they heard the fish flopping around inside. They quickly ran back in to get some water for the fish. It was a really chaotic but funny moment.
One common element is things getting lost and then found in the most unexpected places. For example, a set of keys might end up in a box of shoes. Another is when furniture doesn't fit through doors or staircases, like that time a large wardrobe couldn't make it up the narrow stairs. Also, pets acting up during the move, either getting in the way or hiding in strange places.
Sure. One moving day funny story is that my friend was moving and they had this huge old couch. As they were trying to get it out of the door, it got stuck. They pushed and pulled for ages. In the end, they had to take the door off its hinges just to get the couch out. It was quite a sight.
Sure. One time when our office was moving, the boss accidentally sat on a box marked 'fragile' thinking it was a chair. Everyone burst out laughing when they heard the crashing sound of whatever was inside. Another story was that we had a huge plant in the old office. When moving it, it got stuck in the elevator door for half an hour, and we were all trying different angles to get it through while cracking jokes about how it was the plant's way of not wanting to leave.
