I have a van and not one friend has asked me to help them move. I am almost disappointed. I think people are too socially awkward to ask for help. We are all so independent for the majority of the time that we are out of practice of being neighbourly.

An "uber for friends who you can ask for favors" app could be a solution, but I'm not sure if your friends would be classed as employees or contractors.

Your friends might have to form a union to stop you from exploiting them through this app.

I believe that's exactly the sort of need that Craigslist started to serve.

Your friends might think that if you say no that might put them in an awkward position.

Have you tried telling your friends that they can call you if they need help moving?
