Finally met a client I've had on the list for about two months. WOW!!! This guy is 64 years old and has spent his entire life mooching off his parents. His father is about 90 and infirm today but he was one of the hardest working businessmen I've ever known. His mother died about a year ago but she was a wonderful community supporter and a pleasure to be around. How they raised this deadbeat, I will never understand. Both of his siblings have lead productive, financially-rewarding lives.
Sometimes I think the ancient Greeks had it right. Do them in before they grow up and become a bane to society.
You've got my neighbor as a client? Sounds just like him. Next time you see him tell him the guy on the corner said to "mow your damned lawn!" 😉
One daughter had a next door neighbor who begged her to allow him to run a single electric cord from her house to his so they would at least have some electricity. She finally let him do this out of pity. He could always find money for cigarettes but he couldn't find enough to get his electricity turned back on. Finally, he was evicted by his landlord.

This guy actually saw me mowing my lawn (last year) with all my agricultural equipment laying about the driveway...including a 2 gallon gas can. He asked if he could borrow some gas to get his truck up to the gas station. I told him go ahead.
I didn't tell him it was 2 cycle pre-mix for my weed eater. He brought the gas can back with a couple of dollars worth of fresh gas in it. His truck smoked a little for about a week.
Sometimes I crack myself up....
THAT is FUNNY.
The one thought that kept going through my head while meeting with this fellow was that he had missed his true calling. He should have gone into politics at his first opportunity. Then he could have been living off taxpayers all these years instead of having to get by on what his parents could fork over.
