Now that it’s summer, many people are doing the moving thing. For some, this might mean renting a truck or trailer from U-Haul, like reader Ryan.

Ryan called corporate, who called the store and convinced the surly manager to give Ryan a truck.

If you don’t return our truck today I will call the police.” See how Ryan handled the situation, inside.
