Man Card Violation

Posted for review; these should be some fairly basic concepts, but some people OBVIOUSLY cannot grasp them, so I figured I should say something.
When somebody leaves a message on your voice mail, telling you that they are at the sporting goods store, and that they are going to need some help moving a new safe IN A COUPLE OF DAYS....
You do NOT head straight over to their house without calling them, while they are still on their way home from across town.
And UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you announce to his wife, that you are there to help move the new safe.
This is a violation of the Man Card. With extra demerits for doing it to family.
That is all.

Or if there's a history, he just had one of his 'episodes'.

That would be my guess, based on the experience of having three younger brothers. If there's a way to screw something up, they can find it, especially if it puts YOUR ass in the sling!

Although,
When somebody leaves a message on your voice mail, telling you that they are at the sporting goods store, and that they are going to need some help moving a new safe IN A COUPLE OF DAYS...
seems like an awfully "girly" thing to do.
"Brenda? Hi, I'm at Old Navy and found the
cutest blouse. You simply
have to come over on Saturday to play dress-up!"
Guys don't do that.
Guys do this: "Hey, bro, bought a safe. Bring your pick-up over to Dick's and help me get it home."
