Sarah,
Interesting choices! #3 is very interesting. In the example you gave, I think the nuance is that the person isn't doing anything to help them move the furniture. The expression seems to be used in a figurative, idiomatic sense in your example, and seems to work in that particular context.
Best,
Rachael

Good point, we do settle for some things in life, don't we...
It is sometimes/often good to not be too picky...
Sometimes we just need to 'settle'...
