RE:
A few years ago, I was in Target to buy this buffet/cabinet for my front entry hall. I had both of my children with me who were 6 months and 2 years at the time.
I lifted the 65 lb box containing the cabinet down from the shelf with no problem. My toddler then walked around to where I was setting the box down on the cart. I proceeded to ask her to please move so I wouldn't hit her in the head with the box.
About this time, a scrawny-looking man happened by and immediately tried to take the box from me. Didn't ask, just started grabbing. I kept telling him I was totally in control, and that I didn't need his help. I knew by looking at him that there was no way he would be able to lift the box if I let go. He continued to wrestle with me (can you believe it?!), so I let go of the box, and guess what? IT WAS TOO HEAVY FOR HIM, AND HE DROPPED IT ON MY TODDLER!!
I wanted to strangle him! He walked sheepishly away as I picked the box off the floor and put it in my cart, then attended to my screaming little girl who had just been crushed by a 65 lb cabinet.
