Also, I have literally moved without any help at all except for moving into college dorms freshman years. I can't do that shit anymore though. Too much shit, too bad of a back, too fucking old. I'll pay some teenagers $25/hr, which is great pay.

What is this, Reservoir Dogs? Because it's a service-based industry you voluntarily signed up for. These companies employ workers whose livelihood depends largely on tips. You're not sticking it to the moving company when you don't tip, you're sticking it to the movers that just busted their ass to move your stuff.
If you order delivery pizza, hire movers, or go to a restaurant, you're entering a nonverbal agreement to tip. If you think that's wrong or don't like it? Think it's bullshit? Don't use those services. Which it sounds like you haven't, so great. The only thing you're doing by not tipping is being an asshole.
