great post, man. i grew up across the river in Brooklyn and I can still relate to like 95% of the list. i remember coming home from Great Adventure at like 3 in the morning when i was 8! and actually, i almost did go to Rutgers, too! oh, and for the record, i've never called it "Joisey". i've always said Jersey, as in "Why are New Yorkers pissed off all the time? Because the light at the end of the tunnel is Jersey."
Good Stuff, man

I got screwed bad from a moving company based out of Jersey. They ruined any decent image I might have had. They flat out stole shit from me and admitted it. I couldnt do anything about it either. I filed a complaint and it went to def ears in Washington somewhere.

I dont think I would want someone else pumping my gas al the time just cant trust other people

they admitted it............?

i want details....

[JASonic]

Oh man. This is a bad can of worms to open for me. I'll try to keep it short.

I was moving from Ohio to Florida. No way was I doing it myself. I called and got like 3 bids to move the shit in my house. I was to do all the packing and they'd load their truck and meet me down at my new house.
Easy cheesy right? Not even close.

I accepted a bid from a company out of what I thought was Philidelphia. I gave them $2,000 in advance. The whole move was to be about $5,000. The difference was payable when they arrived.

There was a couple issues that screw the consumer with these moving companies. First, they charge by estimated weight. They pick up your shit and are then supposed to go to a weigh station to determne the exact amount. They will then show you the reciept from the station as proof. Well, my company didnt go to a station or at least they said they didnt. They told me that they "knew" what the weight of my stuff was. Thats bullshit #1. They thought I was a moron. The bill surpassed the maximum weight for that truck by almost 2000 pounds! They simply lied to force me to pay more. By the way, they are allowed to do this by law. Simple as that.
Then when I challenged the bill, they hold my shit hostage and wont give it to me until I pay! Again, the government and laws side with the moving companies because so many of them are ran by the mob Im sure.

So I give them all this extra money because I need my shit. They start unloading the truck and alot of stuff is broken and opened. I had a dining room table completely broken. Boxes of baseball cards were gone. And just to piss me off, when they were all done, I noticed my push broom was missing. See, I just bought one to help clean out the old place and to have for the new house. So I asked the driver if he seen it and he said "ya, I seen it, it was at the storage unit in Jersey... another employee was using it when we left". I was like what the fuck! The driver said they'd mail it to me. What an asshole!
Then I asked why the hell was my stuff in Jersey? He said they took all my stuff in Ohio and unloaded in Jersey only to reload it with another persons shit moving down here to. This just killed me! Keep in mind, the truck that showed up to my new house was the same exact size as the one that picked my shit up in Toledo. This made no sense! If I was 2000 pounds over weight limit of that truck, how the hell did they fit a whole other house in the same size with mine? I had just normal shit to move. Just clothes and TVs. I wasnt moving any lead for Christs sake! These guys fucked me so bad that my ass still hurts.

I filed a complaint with the FTC or whoever it was that controled interstate movers. Let me tell you, they dont care at all! They emailed some canned ass response to me weeks later. Total jackasses on the side of the movers.

You cant even track these moving companies. As soon as they do get a complaint, they change names and move to another borrough. Fags, all of them. They can all burn in hell.

I actually got a hold of the owner of the company after weeks of fighting. He laughed and offered me $100. No shit. He fucking laughed at me.

I hate them more than anyone. I trusted them with my familys stuff and well being. They will all burn a violent death in hell. If God ever asks me to forgive them bastards I'll say no way!!!! Let the bitches burn!!!!

I've trucked to and through 40 states & most of Canada. I have eaten at some great places over the years. Menonite restaraunts in PA are great, as are a lot of back-40 places. Bourbon street in New Orleans is awesome. Chicago has really great food. But nothing, nothing, is as yummi as a 2 am meal at a shiny steel diner in Jersey.
