That's so you can throw the lemon out when he's not looking.

It doesn't play for me.
Damn - sounds fascinating.
Especially the bit about the lemons.

Naaah I feel bad for her. Don't count me in the hating group. No one there is professional: not the moving company, not the sheriff, not anyone in the household, and it's just all bad all the way around.

Sheriff's can't comment on the grade of movers you choose to hire. He needs to be out there serving tickets and writing reports on the movers, not judging the woman's personal choices. If she had paid 2000 dollars what would his excuse be for not handing out tickets to the movers or claiming any personal responsibility for his actions.

It's like Louis CK says. Everyone hates white trash.

You mean the one with insurance for just such circumstances? Uh they would have taken care of it. That's what created the whole problem - she hired some two-bit company for $200.

Good point classic. I often forget how mandatory insurance is because people are lame.

I found it odd that the sheriff didn't even mention that company at all. Like it was all this woman's fault.
I wonder if she just gave "Bobby Joe" with the really BIG TRUCK and trailer hitch $200 to do it.

Who knows what the sheriff said overall, his interview probably lasted for 20 minutes and then they cut it down to 30 seconds of a 3-minute video.

I could only base my statements on what was on the video.

Oh I'm not blaming you, classic, I'm just saying that often local news teams are even bigger ratings-desperate sensationalist whores than the major news outlets.

Look, if 'wishes' and 'but's' were candy and nuts...or, is it: If 'if's' and 'and's' were pots and pans..., oh, hell. Listen: NOBODY gets their house moved for two hundred bucks! Nobody.

Do you suppose she paid them up front?

They were trying to drag it off the road, just scoot it over. They didn't push it over, it tipped over. That was all an accident.
