“They were like, well ma’am, ma’am, we were told it was free. We were told it was free. And I said, well, it wasn’t free. It’s my stuff, I just...I just felt so angry,” Griffin said. Griffin says her problems with Good Time Moving and Storage started the moment they showed up to take her belongings to a storage facility.

Years ago in Fond du Lac, WI it was bulk pickup day. People all over piling stuff, some pretty neat stuff and some just fucked up garbage stuff. Just drag it out and the city picks it up later that week.
ReplyDeleteI’ll admit I’ve found some great stuff over the years. Anyway, a guy had gone out and bought brand new outdoor furniture. He unloaded his pickup in his front yard and then drove his truck to the garage in back. He walked back to find people loading all of his stuff into their truck because the figured it had been tossed. Before you start to think that they should have known better, it was not at all uncommon for people to toss damn near brand new “you name it” stuff.

My garbageman was a pretty cool guy. We became friends, we met each other families, sent cards, etc. He showed me the garage he had packed full of brand new and nearly new stuff he had saved out of the trash people would through away. He made a lot of money from a side business selling that 'trash'. His kids all had new clothes and shoes. It all came from what people threw away.
ReplyDeleteI get the idea of keepsakes. I support that tradition. Yet if all the memories 'disappeared' because the item disappeared you're doing it wrong.
