Was out in the gardens in the front yard about an hour ago when an unwanted voice comes from near my front gate.
" Took the Mitsubishi down to the garage down the road this morning, he cut the costs by a third IF I stayed there and did all the hard work, so now I can pick up the car tomorrow IF you will lend just $156.00 in cash, I promise as a Christian to repay you at the rate of $5.00 per fortnight."
Okay, who wants to have a few guesses as to what my reply and response to him was this time around.
He couldn't hit his church up for that amount?
Or has he had his greedy snout in that trough a time too often?
Oh shit, just realized that without his Mitsubishi Ute with its attachment for towing a trailer his : Magnificent (LOL)" business venture as a Gardener, etc, etc, Extrordinaire will come to a shit shuddering halt.
Of course he may TRY driving the VW Camper vehicle around BUT it is no longer registered even though he has failed to turn in the registration plate (license plates).
If he pulls that stunt then given his record of fines chances are it will mean an automatic impounding for the vehicle and every day it is impounded means even more costs for the Evangeloon to have to pay.
Darn it, don't whether to laugh, cry or do both and have an extra cup of coffee in celebration now.
So the poor little wretch must live with the consequences of his own choices? Well, my heart bleeds for him ... NOT!
When Christians first arrived in the America's I remember reading in the history books that they gave their word as Christians that they didn't want to take over the land and kill off most of the natives.
@creative51 Tell me about, I am proudly part Cherokee.
I think I would have laughed hysterically, and then walked inside. I could not answer that.
But I am sure that as he is a good christian man you will lend him the money at the rate of $5 a fortnight.
Who the f@#^#%$^ am I kidding I think you told him to piss off.
Were YOU watching over the fence perhaps?
I did laugh, I did refuse him the money.
And he did go off sulking once again,
And I went in to my house, made a nice hot fresh coffee and decided to light the fire in my house just out of spite as well PLUS also, because I had a good friend coming to visit at 3.00pm and wanted both house to be warm and his to know that my house is warm while his is cold.
I know, I know, that was just mean nastiness on my part but I felt like a wee bit of pay-back was well overdue.
@Triphid Not the least bit nasty...after the crap he's put you, & the neighbourhood through, it's time he got a little of it back. Long past time he put his big boy panties on & grow up to look after himself. He needs to stop making doormats out of people.
Did you display your middle finger?
No, actually I used the older 2 finger salute.
Others here have suggested that he might be at breaking point. You could always buy him a bus ticket to somewhere far away.
Timbuktu?
@anglophone Shit no, 300 NAUTICAL miles due west of Western Australia in a rented barbed wire canoe with no paddles.
Wow, my money are on you not lending him the money 1000%.
