The Move!

I waited until last minute to pack and do everything I needed, and normally this works out fine for me. This time, NO WAY! My awful luck showed up again.
Moving truck: Contracted to show up between 4 and 5pm Saturday at both Callie, my new roommate who had already left for Florida, and I's places. They said that they would go to Callie's first. So I am going over and hanging out with her roommate, Derek, waiting. As 5pm rolls closer I call, "Hey, just checking to see when you guys are getting here, I still need to pack my car and I am leaving around midnight..." Guy: "we're two men short so we are running a little behind. They should be here in 15-20 to drop something off then on their way. You are up next!" Mind you, they are in SoPo on Main St. so, I wait. 45 mins goes bye "Oh hey.. where are you guys at... I need to pack and sleep soon?" We're running really behind, I'm sorry give us 30 more mins." No show, call again after 30 mins... same thing... go home get some stuff done... he says 15-20 this time, so head back to Callies. It gets to be 9:20 I call, "this is not cool, where are you" "my guys bailed on me, I am trying to find a truck to drive myself." Me= crying. wait.. wait... he's not answering the office phone, my mom comes and waits at callies so I can go find his cell number at the house... I find it... "Still trying to find a truck" me= BALLING!!!! Drive back to Callies to meet my Ma. After explaining to her the situation, she calls, he HUNG-UP on her!!! SO we go back, finish packing. NO Sleep. It is now 10:45 pm. She showers, I get a Red Bull and the drive begins.
Call the guy the next day in the car: "Hi, you need to give me a set time for me to have people there and you NEED to show up. I am making the time and you WILL be there." Guy: "Okay" Me: "and I am not paying full price, you broke our contract." Guy: "I can't do that, at most I can take of $50." Me: "you said you were already going down to florida a few towns away after you stop in ATL. You broke our contract and there is NO way after what you pulled last night that I am paying full price." Mom takes phone bc the guy flips out: "Hi, this is Kaisha's mother, and I am a litigation paralegal. You broke her contract. You need to pick up her stuff today and there should be no problem with reducing her price. You messed up." Guy: "Paralegal, wooooo! I don't care lady... *hung UP!*."
-As most of you know, I can't be mean. I am petrified of spiders and can't even kill them myself. I can't stand up for myself and every boyfriend that has broken up with me has told me that I am "too nice". So this next part is a little vulgar and SHOCKING!-
I call back, get his voicemail: " Fuck you for hanging up on me and fuck you for breaking our contract. Not only did you bail on me yesterday, you just hung up on me. I am taking you to court and you WILL be paying for our stuff to get down here. Fuck you!" *This may be a little off, I have never really gotten this mad, so I was shaking this ENTIRE TIME and then continued shaking for the next hour in the car. :/
A guy calls the next day and trys to fix it. He offers $800 (original = $1,000), and seems nice. At first I take it, but then I realize that I packed most of my kitchen stuff in my car in panic and all thats left is two beds, books, and a few other things. I didnt really trust them at this point and I wouldn't be able to sleep until the 10th, so I canceled them.
Although it sucked that all of this happened and I m currently sleeping o the floor and have none of my books... I am alive and well and I made it here. Things can be replaced or shipped through UPS.
