New Neighbors Moving In: A Funny Look at Colorado's 'Trusted' Moving Company

Moving into a new neighborhood always comes with its own set of challenges and surprises, but one Reddit user has taken the cake with a funny post titled, "New neighbors moving in. Not sure I trust their moving company." The image accompanying the post showcases the side of a moving truck parked on a paved street next to a grassy area and sidewalk. Overhanging branches obscure part of the truck's advertisement, but the visible portion reveals a high-quality printed image of a person holding a large box labeled with handling icons like arrows and a wine glass, suggesting "This Side Up" and "Fragile." The box also bears the text "HANDLE WITH CARE."

The truck's advertisement reads, "Colorado's 'TRUSTED' COMMERCIAL &," but the rest of the text is cut off due to the angle of the photograph and the position of the truck. This partial view has sparked a flurry of amusing comments from Reddit users.

One user humorously remarked, "We won't 'lose' your furniture," playing on the air quotes to suggest skepticism about the company's reliability. Another user shared a personal anecdote, "I knew a lawyer that thought air quotes meant emphasis. He kept telling us he had a basement suite 'for rent.' And that’s how we figured out he was an idiot and had been using air quotes wrong his whole life."

The skepticism continues with comments like "Suspicious" and "They're 'trustworthy.' 'Trust' me, bro." One particularly tongue-in-cheek comment noted, "They also offer 'Free Candy' Vans," while another added, "We promise you probably won’t get m*****ed…again."

Adding to the hilarity, a user commented, "All of my dishes are broken!! I 'trusted' you!" This was followed by another user directing people to the subreddit r/UnnecessaryQuotes, highlighting the misuse of quotation marks.

The post even sparked a debate about the moving industry itself. One user shared, "Movers are scam artists. I watched a United truck weighing at a truck stop with half his tires off the scale. When I told him about it, he said it wasn't him on the scale." Another user added, "Buddy of mine used to work for an online moving broker. Said it's pretty typical guys would just disappear with entire truck loads. I can't even imagine."

In a more lighthearted comment, a user shared their experience, "I used to work for a moving company. Small outfit, two trucks. Their motto was 'there is no such thing as a big or small job.' Always gave me a chuckle."

The image and the ensuing comments provide a comedic yet thought-provoking look at the moving industry, especially with companies that claim to be "trusted." Whether the skepticism is warranted or not, one thing is clear: this post has certainly given the Reddit community a good laugh.
