Me and my band director had to move like 12 by ourselves, and then moved about another 10 or so with some help. We had a total of 33 pianos and we couldn't find the last one at the end of the night so we were driving all over our school looking for it. In the end I've learned that I NEVER want to host a solo and ensamble contest again, and that I will NEVER, NEVER be a professional piano mover. Ever.

Not exactly as bad as a Piano but...

Used to go to a club, and in this club we played various wargames (A kind of fight club, if you will :p) and one member was, shall we say, damn talented.
To the point where he had made a fully accurate scale model of Helms deep.
Well, after an open event we were moving everything to the various vehicles to be put into their storage units and the local janitors were hurrying us along, and decided to move it themselves without help.
Crunch.
Helms deep looked like it had just been assaulted by a dozen Balrogs with support from a tactical nuclear device or six.

He was less than pleased, and thus, his scale model of Minas-Tirith didn't make the next show.

Oh, that stinks.

That's why I'm afraid to put too much time into anything- death by janitors.

At least you aren't a toilet bowl cleaner. Things could be worse.

On the bright side, if it didn't kill you, it made you stronger. Now your foot is super strong :battar:

oh dear, reminds of my schooldays when I was doing backstage. I remember moving odd things up and down flights of stairs from the club house to the wherever we were staging the production. I remember moving things a rocking chair, a mock iron grill, short lengths of logs and carrying this coffe table we borrowed from the coffe shop across the street (we were a bunch of 13 year old girls in school uniforms, imagine our embrassment when people stopped and stared :P). Was backbreaking but lots of fun actually.

Luckily for me we never had to use a piano for any of the productions i had so far, or at least, anything around that size was always handled by the guys :P
