A Question About Moving, for Movers

So, uh, question for any movers in the room. If I bought twenty “large” boxes from the U-Haul store (I’m using that seriously I don’t just call something the U-Haul store although yes, that’s fair, that does seem like something I would do) and then noticed, upon bringing one into my house, that there’s a graphic on the side of said box encouraging me to only put light things in it, unlike, say, books—for which there is a special box called a “book box” which is smaller than “small”—but then I loaded the first one of the twenty up with books anyway…would you guys be mad at me? Is this making your day worse? Or is your thought, “Hey, it’s a quick crosstown move, it’s heavy but whatever, saves us trips,” or something of that sort? Is that graphic about box sizes for wimps?

Don’t feel rushed to answer. In fact, please don’t answer right away. I don’t want to feel compelled to go buy new boxes. I have nineteen more of these to pack, and odds are good I won’t finish until Saturday night because the movers aren’t scheduled to come until Sunday morning and I don’t know, maybe I’ll read one of these before then. You never know.
