Wow. The Owner from Hemsted’s Moving & Storage came out to give an estimate for the move. As I am showing him what we are going to take and what we are not going to take. He opens a cabinet and I told him we took out the things we are going to take. He begins to get upset. As we get to the kitchen he starts telling me we are going to wind up with 5 or 6 thousand pounds. I told him “I am not sure why we are doing this - he is not looking at what we are going to take” He gets more upset and storms out of the house. I follow him out and ask what I did wrong as all I am trying to do is get an estimate. His response was to tell me “half the fu***** sh** you say you are not taking, you will take. I’ll bet you $100, no $500”. Then raises his hand and says “get a U-Haul , I won’t even move you” and storms off and drives away. Wow. I think the tipping point was when we were in the garage and I wasn’t taking the air compressor or the tool box (the tools are already in Tennessee. I guess he owns a “we move it all or we move nothing” company. Might not be the place to go if you are downsizing. In any event I am happy that he has so much business that he can be short with customers and speak with the kind of language he did with me. Karma Bob, Karma
