Whenever I forget to return movie rentals to Blockbuster the Reminder Robot calls my parents' house.
It goes a little something like, "We have not yet received ___(title of movie)___ if you do not return it by ___(random date)___ we will charge you...blah blah blah.
The first time Blockbuster called my house for a late movie was when I forgot to return "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Sex but Were too Afraid to Ask" by Woody Allen. My dad called me that night was was like, "Um, (cough) you umm (cough) you forgot to return a movie to blockbuster" and then he quickly changed the subject. I doubt he's ever heard of the movie and was very surprised to hear a robotic voice telling him that his daughter had forgotten to return a movie called "something something something SEX something something something".
My dad called me again today to say that I, "ummm (cough) forgot to ummm (cough) return SOME movie to Blockbuster." I took a look around the apartment and realized I hadn't returned "SEX and the City: Season 4, Volume 1" yet. Now that they assume I'm some sort of deviant, me moving away is the least of their worries.

that is one of my favorite allen movies. and i like the fact that your parents now think that you've moved to the bay in order to pursue your life long dream in becoming a whore.

I'm going to go to the newsstand and get the subscription cards of all the hardcore porn mags and fill it out to your name at your parents' house. AND I'm checking the "Bill me later" box.
pobrecito, your dad.
by the by, you ARE a pervert!
You should join Netflix or Blockbuster online.
No calls to your pops, and possibly cheaper depending on how many you watch. I think $4+ for a movie is pretty ridiculous.
