The best one I've ever given away was a couch listed as free to anyone who could get it out of the building. It was a third floor walkup, and the couch had like 3/4" clearance down the hallway.

This couple showed up ready to help and very excited about the couch. It was like 30C that day, we took the legs and removable parts off, and got to work the four of us, but it still took us an hour to get the thing down the stairs because it had to be lifted above the railing and carefully rotated each flight.

We were all sweaty so we shared some beer with them after they got it on their truck, and they were just super excited to be getting this good condition and very nice couch. They were some of the nicest people I've ever met.

Pivot! PIVOT!

Sorry, I had to.

We started with that joke, but it got too real.

Yep. Turned down one rental many years ago due to too many flights of stairs and no lift - and being too poor to hire movers.

I got a good, thankful laugh when I watched the episode a couple of years back.
