There are many different reasons people need self-storage. Some are good some are bad but just the fact you need it means there is about to be a lot of work and struggle involved. In this month’s blog I wanted to look on the lighter side of storage. I decide to comb the internet looking for jokes and quips about self-storage. Some are funny but I warn you some may be corny, none are meant to offend. So enjoy this month self-storage humor on behalf of StoreRight Brooksville…

• Pat, of Jamestown Storage in High Point, North Carolina, wrote to Self-Storage Talk early in June to comment that after listening to a rundown of Jamestown’s pricing plans, a prospective tenant asked, “How big is your 5 x 10?” “She may have meant how high are the ceilings,” Pat speculated, “but I so wanted to say, ‘oh, about 4 x 4!’”
• In March, Ian Johnson of Oklahoma City wrote to Self-Storage Talk’s “Tales from the Trenches” section to remark, “You know you need a vacation when a burly man comes in wanting to rent a dolly and the first words out of your mouth are ‘Barbie, or Ken?’”
• A Daytona, Florida self-storage operator wrote to Self-Storage Talk on June 28, noting, “I love the chameleons….They eat bugs and are good to have around. When someone who is not from Florida sees them…I just tell them they are baby alligators. The looks on their faces is priceless. I do explain to them what they really are so they aren’t confused. Never lost a rental because of it — in fact the customer gets such a kick out of it they usually rent right then.”

–What did the self storage locker say to the other self storage locker? “Hey man, have you heard of all this global warming stuff? It’s like the world forgot to pay a little extra for CLIMATE CONTROL!”

-Two self storage tenants were passing each other in the hallway. One says, “Hey how are you doing?” The other replies, “Oh you know, I’m just STORING MY ENERGY FOR MY NEXT MOVE!”

-There were 3 storage facilities on the same street. One offered free locks, one offered climate controlled units, and the other offered robotic security. A woman walked into the place with free locks to rent a unit. The manager asked “Why did you choose us? There are plenty of other places on the street with better features!” The woman replied, “Well I actually would just like the free lock.” The owner replied “Hey, robots and climate control are nice, BUT THEY DON’T QUITE HAVE EVERYTHING ON LOCK”

-What do you call a dancing & roller skating storage locker lock? A DISC-CO LOCK!

A customer walks into a self-storage office to rent a unit. While renting the unit, the manager says “Mam, I need to see two forms of picture ID.” The customer angrily dug through her purse, found her driver’s license, grabbed a pair of scissors from the counter and cut her ID in half. The customer said, “Here ya go…”

If you’re in stitches from that one, here’s another great one!

Two lawyers, both tenants at a self-storage facility walked into a storage office, sat down and began eating their sack lunches. The manager said “Hey guys, you can’t eat your lunches in my office!” The two attorneys looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders and exchanged lunches.
