What does collecting old tv's mean to young people?

Word up! I've pushed four big TVs ~7 clicks home on a trolley, brought 19" sets and a U-Matic home on buses as well as doing a lot of other heavy and awkward work on my own. I've gotten hit with the "You're going to injure/kill yourself" chestnut a few times but I'm still standing and feeling fine. I rarely even get sore after such a job, temporarily weakened after bearing an object's full weight for too long but that's it. I've gotten worse from carrying groceries, darn bag handles will dig into my fingers and cut off the circulation leaving a spot where I can't feel much of anything for days/weeks at a time.

My trick for plastic grocery bags especially in winter with my arms padded is to loop the handles over my arm...They don't noticeably dig in that way and I can hoist a carts worth of bags to make unloading the car a 1-2 trip affair.

Game is hard. <3 Also, that's probably bad for you.
