Ungrateful SOB!

[subi-crosser]

My neighbor, that I LIKE had his girlfriend move in a couple months ago.
She has a 'grown' (28 year old), son that has a Camaro and a Trans Am, but has NO life!
When the rollback dropped off a very nice looking Camaro on Rt 40, I told him that this was not a good place to put a 'Pretty' car. It was also NOT a 'safe' place to work on a car that needed a new clutch assembly.
I hooked it to my Outback and dragged it up the alley and nestled it right into a 'space' that the Plaz, mig, air and electric would reach. Then I pulled out my 'older' floor jack and said that he could use the space to make the car GO.
Then the snow came. The car has been sitting there for 2 months.
Over the last 2 days, he has been actually WORKING on the car. Just now, at 10:00 pm, I mentioned that it was a little 'late' to start a car with open headers in a heavily populated neighborhood. Now, the rain had just started, The car was not ready to start cause the sparkplugs etc were not installed yet.
He started 'ranting' about he needed to find a place where he could do what he wanted to, that all his work was WASTED because he couldn't drive it tonite, he said that he would have it hauled out in the morning, BS neighbors, etc, etc.
I said that the work was not wasted, but we just don't start open headers this late here! He said, "Leave me alone"!
I locked the garage and came in....

The camaro BETTER be GONE when I get home from work tomorrow!
THIS guy is a LOOSE cannon!
I NEVER asked for a PENNY to use the space or tools!
What an INGRATE!! I don't NEED to 'complicate' my life with people like this!
As I walked into the house, I asked the Lord for 1/2 inch of rain over the next hour,Then He could turn it back off!
I TRIED!! This guy is a WASTE!!
Maybe he needs to get a JOB, instead of waiting for mom to pay his bills!
Then he can buy a garage in a nice quiet neighborhood and PI$$ off everyone!
I have been here for over 23 years. I do NOT start open headers when the truck driver that lives next door to my garage is sleeping....
I fail to see where I have 'ruined' anybody's day by mentioning that FACT!!

I just realized that I had to 'rent' OT's shop to do a paying job this week. The camaro was sitting on the 'spot' that this job could have occupied. That puke OWES me!

NOW, I'm PI$$ED!!
I am GRATEFUL that Tom allowed me to use his space.
I feel that the 'compensation' extended to Tom was well spent.
Tom didn't ask for 'compensation', I OFFERED.
I JUST realized that I needed Tom's space because a LOW LIFE had mine covered up, (and dared to B -- ITCH because I didn't want to let him wake up the neighbors).

GRRRRR!! I make the payments and pay the taxes!

MY game, MY rules!

The kid is an immature weenie...... I wouldnt stress over it too much, you cant help what other people do.

Next time he can take his car to a shop and pay 90 bucks an hour labor and see how they respond to his whining. No more favors for pinhead.

Thanx! I thought he needed a 'mentor'. He needs a 'keeper' and better drugs!
Hand me the bowl, I wash my hands of this person!

(I want my asphalt back NOW!)
Set that 'pretty' camaro over in the MUD across the street!
I'll bring something that I own to fill that space!

Jerry. I completely agree with you on this one. There is a developing trend among people of my generation to go the direction you describe. It's embarrassing to me.

I have always offered a 'hand' to people. I feel like the hand has been used to smack me in this case!
There is a lot of 'good' young people out there! I have met too many of you guys to NOT believe this!
This guy is a waste!! I KNOW that now.
I wish that it would have turned out better. I could use a little 'Help' in the neighborhood.
Now, If I need help, I have to call on my kids or Tom. That is about as far as I can go....
OR do it myself....

Since this guy has cops all over the 'hood' all the time, they have 'discovered' that I play with rusty junk here.
I got a letter from the 'city' on friday. It stated that I had (3) 'JUNK' vintage vehicles in my yard and they wanted the 'problem' to go away or they would come and TAKE them!
IF they decide to come under my CARPORTS and TAKE my cars, I will be going to JAIL for murder!
I have 'shiney' stuff in the garages that they could not touch, but I wish them to remain 'clean and dry', so I refuse to set them out into the elements so I can 'stash' cars that I am working on in a place that I can't WELD!
I wrote them a nice 3 page letter today and will be dropping by to see them before BLOOD is SHED!
I closed in one carport, since I don't have the Bucks to do the 1930 Willys yet. But, I put the bed on the 46 yesterday, and will be finishing up the welding on the drivetrain and making it go and stop this week.
I got the fenders and title for the 38 on the day they wrote the letter, so I have 30 days to do something 'positive' with it before it becomes a 'problem'.

Continuing... One of the neighbors that called the cops on the camaro got a 'letter' from the city because her grandkids are HOGS!
They dump whatever is in their trucks right next to the alley for all to see! (My garage connects with their property).
They dump their waste oil on the weeds instead of cutting them, they buy old cars, sit them on the street and let them DECAY then call the junk man to haul them away.(This has happened with 10 or more since I came here). They built a new garage. The (4) 'sky lights' blew off the FIRST year and it took them 10 years to replace them! Let the rain, snow, leaves fall!! (into the garage).
I didn't GET a letter till the city guy came back to 're-check' them! THEN, she 'complained' about My stuff! (They waited 5 days of 10 to START on the clean-up). By then, I had already painted anything that needed a 'touch up' on my buildings, raked and bagged all the leaves that came off of THEIR trees, picked up all the trash that had blown off of THEIR property, Including the pieces of ROOF that had blown off of their garage and damaged my SVX! They didn't even RAKE the debris on the ground till AFTER they were re-checked!
By then, I had raked, swept, and taken the air compressor and BLOWN all the dust out from under my 'offending' vehicles!

Yea, I REALLY want the 47 sitting out there for the next windstorm!

I started my 'protest' by building a pole for my Gadston flag to hang on! Then I stuck my Dodge Motorsports flag on the 38.
I am the ONLY one in a 4 block area that has PAINTED anything on a building!
I have ALREADY used 3 gallons of house paint this year!
I have been mowing 1/2 acre of 'city' property for 22 years. I am the ONLY citizen that will dig out a fire Hydrant in this area!
I shoveled out the 'single mom', next door and the disabled man next to her and the disabled woman next to him, plus the 'dead' guy on the other side, EVERY time it snowed here!
I also have 'perfect' attendance at 'WORK', and heat with coal and wood that I haul and cut.
These 'city' guys better be 'nice' to me! I might QUIT doing all the 'Public Service' stuff!
I have more letters from the city Thanking me for the stuff I do than I have for old cars in the back yard.
I might have to drag the guys that wrote the 'other' letters to the meeting with the guy that wrote the latest one.
