Window Washer asks for $5

[Nuffy_O'Dwyer]

Pull up at a red light and up jumps the scruffy looking man with a squeegee. One quick splash of the old powerade bottle filled with a questionable liquid and a few wipes of the windscreen and then the light turns green. I open the window to pay and the man says "That will be $5 thanks".

Fair to say he didn't get paid.

You cleaned him up.

B2K3 on fire again.

Im glad we dont have filthy window cleaners here in Adelaide.

 

[Shell]

You could have run him down with your car.

 

[RoosterLad]

But then you would need someone to clean your car. Picking human flesh out of your grill is not much fun.

Fair enough too. He needs a Super contribution and sick pay etc too.

You let him wash your window, you should pay him. It's your own problem if you didnt check his fees before work commenced (dont let that tongue fool you, Im serious!)

I bet you say that to all the girls Dicey.

That's the plan. Ive given up the quantity over quality theory and trying the reverse theory these days.

I'll let you know when I have a case to differentiate the two

Was this at the corner of Hoddle and Victoria streets ?
There's a story in todays Hun about a window washer at that corner.

Roadside Robbery

put your wipers on as soon as they approach you.

thing i hate about them is that you say no but they do it anyway.

funniest thing was they did wash my windscreen even tho i said no, then i opened the window (they expected to get paid) and i asked for directions. by the time he finished the lights turned green and i was off

 

[jacross]

Meh, no contract was ever formed so **** him. Keep your money for the good window washers (as odd as that sounds there's one in Canberra who is somewhat of a local legend). He's even nice to do it for free if he has no paying customers to do.

 

[Kingpin]

Hand him a $5 monopoly money note, smile, say thankyou kindly, wind up the window and speed off.

Cost of windscreen washing = Price rises in petrol!

Hate those scummy junkies.

As a rule, as soon as they approach, the wipers are flicked on before they can start.

That 'lil trick p.isses them off every time.

Would putting acid, or some other kind of dangerous chemical in your window washer thing... and then spraying the washer dudes with it when they lean over to wash your windows work?

A lot of w's there actually.

Yeah, good work.

ha $5!, cheeky bugger.

Last time this happened to me, some kid started doing my window while I was at the lights, doesn't really happen much to me so I just grabbed 50c out of my console and gave that to him. He said '**** man!'. I drove off.

$5 is obviously too steep but did I short change this human parasite with my 50c donation to his drink, drugs or smokes fund?

one, two bucks at most. Its less then a minutes work
