locksmiths are a fuckin joke with how much they charge.

i locked myself out of my apt for the first time ever a month or so ago.

a locksmith once i thought was gonna beat the crap out of me when i live alone on the lower east side i locked myself out of my apartment and i had no shoes on, no phone, no wallet, nothing!!! (the door locked from behind and i was moving something into the hallway). anyway luckily there was a sticker downstairs with a locksmith so i called and he did what he had to do and then told me how much it would cost. i had no money at the time and told him that if he comes back in a few days i will give him the money. he was like “cant you just got to the atm and take out cash?” i was like um i dont even have a bank account at the moment (i dont think he believed me) but eventually he agreed to come back and he told me that if i didnt pay him the money he’d kill my dog!!!

Only Moishe’s did the extortion thing. But not with the furniture. I was all moved in. Tipped them. GENEROUSLY. They left. 10 minutes later they came back to my apartment, and these 6 burly Israelis, who are much taller than me (hard to imagine, right?) surrounded me and told me I hadn’t tipped them enough and demanded more money.

wtf? that’s horrible. this is why people should be allowed to have guns in their home.
