In case you haven’t experienced it yourself, moving sucks. A recent survey of 2,000 Americans conducted by Life Storage revealed that the average move entails two nights of lost sleep, two arguments with a partner, and two crying jags. Nearly a third of Americans consider moving to be more stressful than interviewing for a job, and 13% say that a week in jail would be easier than a move.

And Home Depot is hoping they’ll make pretty good customers.
