Unfortunately, I have a strong sense of duty. Furthermore, my wife says that there should be a man in the house to reprimand the removalists when they smush legs off chairs and, things like that.
It is a bit dificult to reprimand a man who is used to walking up a flight of stairs with a sideboard under one arm and a piano under the other. Kindness is the thing.
