GO BUCKS!
    • I am about to begin on the painstaking process of moving today. Hopefully the last time for a while. I'm cramming in getting the big screen TV, having the cable guy come, and moving all my stuff in the same day. May God have mercy on my soul.

    Any funny moving stories?
     
    Moving sucks. U-Haul can a eat a bag of dicks. Thanks to them I was stuck unloading and loading one of their trucks during the Ohio State/NC State game in the Shoe, getting updates on a Nextel two way instead of watching it. Hearing my Dad give play by play was pretty funny though.

    I went to move my couch once and found the dead body of a hooker I forgot to bury.... boy was my face red, I was so embarrassed. A couple friends and I had sex with it and then threw it in the river... good times, good times.

    Was her sister the one in the trunk of the car?

    Last move I hired a company.

    Had an all wood, antique, tall, chest of drawers in the basement and the drawers were full of heavy stuff like books. I tried to lift it and holy shit it was so heavy I could barely lift up one side with my arm wrapped around it.

    Moving guy came downstairs, I said "let me help you empty those drawers out" he just wrapped his arms around it, picked it up and walked upstairs.
    Never have I felt less manly in my life than that very moment.

    We moved at the end of July, and now I realize why we stayed in the same crappy apartment for 5 years. Moving fucking sucks! We would normally hire movers, but we moved just one street over, so we did most of it ourselves. The landlord was renovating our new place and told us it would be ready in time; it was not. That made it even more fun!

    Horseshit. I doubt you were embarrassed.

    Everyone I know calls me first when they move. I'm a machine. I get shit done. If I had to guess, I'd say I've helped friends and family move somewhere around...75 times. That's not a joke. If anything, I'd say that's a little shy of the actual amount of times.

    Hell, I can't count the number of times that I was the only one that showed up to help.

    Well, long story short...the [censored] is moved. The 42" TV looks magnificent in my living room...primed and ready to go. Just one problem...


    AT&T is full of dickheads. No lie. They are full of the helmets of male genitalia. The AT&T U-Verse guy was supposed to come between 1 and 3 oclock, and give me a call 30 minutes ahead of his arrival. 3:30 comes by and I get a call from the call center saying that he is going to be late. No [censored]ing [censored], Sherlock...is that why I'm pacing angrily staring at my watch every 2 minutes? Man, I had no reason why I was doing that. So at that time I told the lady (since I still had to make one more run to my storage) to tell the guy to come in an hour because I need to get stuff done while I'm waiting (my U-Haul was on a time limit).

    So I leave the apartment and get clear across all the goddamn construction on SR-315 (takes about 30 minutes in the U-Haul, and the aforementioned dickhead calls me, tells me he is outside my door, and that I have 10 minutes to appear before he leaves.

    Que the [censored]?

    Exactly how the convo went, with my speech in bold:

    "You were supposed to call me 30 minutes before you got there."

    "I'm sorry, I didn't know that." Bull[censored]

    "You were supposed to be there between 1 and 3 oclock, it is now 4:15"

    "Did the call-center tell you that I was going to be late?"

    "Yes, at 3:30. A half an hour after you were already late."

    "Well, in any case, I can't wait here for more than 15 minutes."

    "You are going to give me the full 30 minutes, there's no question about that."

    "Sir, I'm sorry fo-"

    "I'll cut you a break, I'll be there in 20 minutes."

    So I drag my sorry ass back across town and get there in 20 (see, it's not that hard to be on time is it?), only to find the AT&T truck with no driver. I look up and down for the driver, and there he is, taking a smoke break. On my patio. He then puts out his cigarette right next to my patio.

    He then proceeds to tell me that there are "wires crossed" and that it's going to take a week for them to fix them before I can get service, and that my appointment needs to be reschedules. So watching the game in HD from the comfort of my apartment is no longer an option.

    I calmly tell him thank you very much for coming out, but you might as well have called me ahead of time and told me to switch to Time Warner and saved both of us the hassle.

    So then I call Time Warner, get a better bundle deal, and they'll come out on Monday (which I have off because of Labor Day). All in all, [censored] AT&T.
