    The mark of a sh!tty liar is a constanly changing story, one that is able to correct stupid a$$ mistakes pointed out by the sceptical audience.

    Give it up, liar. We see so many of your type on this site - just admit that it's a fanciful story that you made up in your head. **** like this happens only in the movies. Sorry pal. The jig is up.

    Wow, I guess I just don't drive in those areas very often so I haven't noticed. Seems like there are usually cops in the Westheimer & Post Oak intersections when I'm over there on the weekends.

    Nothing used to pi$$ me off more than when they'd approach the car and I'm waving my arms frantically saying "don't do it!" and they'd start spraying the windshield anyway.

    Oddly enough, at least these window washing people are trying to add some value. I hate when I see kids in the intersections just asking for money even if it is for something legit like band uniforms or something. Have a carwash, sell knick knacks, do something for god's sake.

    And then I had some teenage girl try to scam me at a gas station with this out of gas story the other day with her freaking PARENTS sitting in the car around the corner.

    What are you talking about, I didn't change any story except yours.
    This is what I said initiallly, the cliff notes version...
    That's what I said in the expanded version too. I never said I beat him up, I never said I flew away in blue tights carrying his girlfreind to my bat cave. What are you talking about.

    Just spray them back with your windshield washer nozzles when they approach your car. Works all the time. Some people just can't seem to take no for an answer. To make it worse, some of them use disgusting recycled sewer water and leave streaks all over the windshield.


    I have to give them credit for that. On a trip to Mexico last year I noticed that the homeless people in Mexico are not as lazy as the homeless here. There are homeless in Mexico who dress up as clowns and entertain people on intersections and others who do tricks all just to get a peso from traffic. They go out and learn to play instruments and play them on the sidewalks and sing all just to get a peso. Others go out and buy candy and sell them at a higher price to make profit while others make various crafts and sell them on the side of the streets. But here in the states its different, they don't want to work the least bit to earn a dollar; they want to pan handle and expect to be spoon fed.

    I still can't seem to understand why they continue to use the same lame "gas" story?

    Or I clearly implied that he regreted it. That take a swing at me remark was speaking to a comment peters made about homeless people attacking people who don't give them money. It had nothing to do with my experience.
    I never said I took all of it, I said I took "the 65 bucks in his wallet". Thinking about it, I suppose I can see how you could assume that means 65 bucks was the entire contents of his wallet, but it was not.

    ok im gonna chime in:

    Those that know a little bit about Philadelphia will know that 18th and Girard is not a great place to be, but it just so happens that the best Catholic High School (Jesuit) in the city is there and i go there. Every block has at least 1 crack house, no joke. Its really sad to see some of the stuff that happens down there, but my school and myself try our best to clean up the area and make it look a little bit nicer. Everyday i have to deal with the crackheads or alcoholics roaming the streets there asking for money from the rich white suburban kids. Most of the time they try little gimmicks like singing or dancing, sometimes they are quite amusing and often pretty damn good. As a Freshman every time this happens you give them money, everytime, you are just not mature enough to realize that they WILL go buy a vile of crack or dime bag of weed. Now as a Junior, I know some of the guys and girls by name and i realize that they have been doing the same thing for MANY years in an effort for me and my peers to give them money to feed their addictions. Thats why i have stopped giving them money, even though thats completley against what my school teaches, being a man for others. Giving someone money to go to the next corner and buy a vile or dime bag is not helping them. Its just an awkward situation that you wish could go away but you know it wont. Ive tried everything to try and get these people to look at what they are doing, but nothing works. Just goes to show how drugs can have such a profound affect on peoples lives.

    I usually pull some change out of my pocket and through it out into the street. If they truly are in need of money they'll dodge cars for it.

    Scene 8: In an ironic twist shiggins gets mugged by same Canadian bum on way to wash and fold. Canadian bum is so drunk he does not realize shiggins was the same superhero from scene 2.

    Scene 9: Canadiam bum makes shiggins his b*tch.

    Way to take that totally out of context, that should help your witch hunt efforts. I am glad you guys are having fun, I don't mind amusing people at my expense once and a while. I have not contradicted anything I said, nor given you any reason to doubt a pretty unspectacular series of events which were blown of proportion by your imaginations before your knew the entire story. Believe what you will.

    I enjoy F-chat and reading about the many experiences its members have with their cars, I spend a lot of time reading through old posts here and will continue to do so. I would, however, like to know what happened in between scenes 6 and 7? did I get some or what? haha.

    I have evicted methamphetamine addicts, check washers, identity thieves, people (i mean two-legged ****) hiding from the law and generally lazy, feeble minded (retarded, developmentally disabled...whatever), cocaine addicts, meth-whores and gang bangers from my buildings. Overall I've done 16 evictions for non-payment of rent. The surrounding neighborhoods were slightly to vastly improved after each eviction.

    I have personally seen a half dozen or so tenancies end when the tenant(s) simply put all their belongings in shopping carts and trudged down the road after the sheriff performed the lock-out. I've even seen a few in the neighborhood for several years after I booted them out.

    In each instance, I had nothing but problems while they were in my buildings. In each instance, they thoroughly trashed the living fvuk out of my apartments. In each instance they stole plenty from me, by living in my buildings without paying rent. I have thousands of dollars worth of worthless judgements against these pieces of trash. If I found one of my former evictees sitting on a street corner begging for my hard earned money, I'd be inclined to plant a steel toed boot deep into their throat and then stomp on their kneecaps-especially one nasty bastard who's toilet I had to unclog by crawling under the building and running a drain snake through the 4 inch clean-out. I still remember that bastard's turds shooting out the pipe into my face under the high water pressure. I never did coollect a dime from him...not a single penny worth of 4 months worth of rent.

    The foregoing applies to all the homeless I've personally had dealings with.

    I can't extinguish the flames, but I can give you some advice worth your taking: QUIT

    It's not like you have any equity in your post-count or a reputation earned. Just create a new screen-name and try not to screw up again.

    There's one major reason I don't spit on the bums....I worked hard to produce that saliva, why should they just get it for free?

    These parasitic vultures can find all the food, clothing and shelter from local "outreach" programs. Begged money is all about what the sheleters won't provide free for them: alcohol & drugs. Sorry sacks who give money to these vaginal discharges are only encouraging them.

    Weren't you the guest-host on "Tool-time" last week?

    Nibblesworth - I gotta tell you - I just reread this post and it is funnier the second time. Just noticed the "Canadian funny money" and a few other zingers. This is hilarious.

    Paging Maranelloman - time for an owned pic.

    Shiggins - time for a new User ID.

    I'm glad you liked it. I got the "Canadian-Funny-Money" comment from an argument with a Canadian about 6 years ago - cracked me up everytime I thought of it. Glad I could spread the funny around a bit.
