So I owe this municipal court or the county some money... The Judges are great people, if you act like an illiterate blathering moron they'll throw the book right at your head. If you act like you give a fuck, they'll work with you.
So I am paying, get this, FIVE BUCKS A WEEK!!
But I moved an hour away, right, and I have the people back in town handle paying that $5/wk. So today, this guy I won't identify (my father) calls up and is telling me I need to call "my mother" and have her pay it.
This always happens when I ask them to do something. They're both into me thousands. I finally told that guy, today, man I use to make your truck payments... why is it such a big deal?
I mean hell him and my mother have inherited money a pile of times, and he just got a FREE HOUSE .... and my mother lives with my poor old grandmother ...
Every truck payment I made equals EIGHTY of these court payments. And I frequently reimburse him more than he's paid.
Why does no one appreciate ANYTHING?!
Why is it such a BIG DEAL when you need something after you've all but blown someone?
How about.... "I appreciate all of those truck payments you made when you were fifteen, don't worry about the $5! And by the way, you've been up there almost a month and you haven't been drunk once, I'm proud of you!!"
How about one of the people I've made and saved tens to hundreds of thousands for saying "Hey I appreciate you saving me from making a huge mistake, or I'm glad your idea made me so much money, and I know that you don't have a Cadillac for the first time in your life, so I'm sending you a few grand to buy one."
How about "I know you use to front me money when I was down, you even came and took me out of the jailhouse, so now that you're down, here's fifty grand to get you back set up."
I mean
SHIT
If I was monied I'd take care of whoever helped. I've always been a generous good person. Why the FUCK doesn't it come back?
