Whoever said “… lay strewn across the floor, still unpacked.” is an idiot, but understandably so. This person sat thinking, probably while staring at the still packed box, about the need to unpack the box.

This delightful bon mot was the result of some crossed wires, likely the result of their recent move (we’ve all been there).

You could go the “ununpacked; hapology” route… or you could just call it “being tired.”

Either way – moving sucks.
