CRASHED

That's actually extremely believable. A sketchy dude selling crap to a gullible audience. I'd be stunned if he didn't have his fingers in religion somehow.

Or in politics. We all know quite a few who have never had a real job, never run a company, and have never generated a single dollar in the private sector. They have lived off taxpayer dollars their entire ... err ... career.

He used it as a thumbnail with a click-bait title by saying RIP. To have people click on his video. If you don't see what's wrong with that then idk what to tell you lol

Exactly what is wrong with it? How is it click-bate? The car was totaled. The title didn't indicate it was his.

It's always been my experience that the people who kneel down on Sunday - Rip your back on Monday. Not all of course but a lot.

With all due respect, I've been ripped far, far more often by non-religious people than by religious people. Just sharing my experience.

Gonna have to disagree with you there. It's nearly impossible to know the religious views of someone you're doing business with, as that's not exactly something that comes up in casual conversations for most people.

But I live in the most religious state by far, Utah, and you have people ripping you off constantly. I've never seen so many cheapskates, insulting cheapskates, in my life. People out here want the best, but want to pay you like it's the worst. I've genuinely had people bitching about the quality of furniture that I was giving them FOR FREE or had people who've had insanely high expectations for an old product sold at a low price. I've dealt with a handful of decent people when selling things, and a ton of assholes who were dishonest.

Practicing not quite perfected

I have a neighbor who's "A Christian" does church on Sunday, Belongs to the "Community care for Seniors" in the area. He has fucked me over more times since I moved in - I lost count. He has a Bat Phone direct to the HOA, and the board of director people all belong to his church. I feel like Donald Trump here ...

He brought a senior citizen into his house (rents a room) all to make himself look good, to other neighbors - Awe, look at Frank he takes care of the Seniors . But what they don't know is - he takes the guys full Social Security money from him every month (guy told me one day when he had a moment, then asked me to never tell) For all of that he gets to be Franks slave around his house, - mowing, trimming bushes, taking out the trash, then he has to wash the trash cans after they empty them, brushing their Glom of a dog, walking their dog 4 - 5 times a day. I've seen the old guy almost collapse in the driveway from heat exhaustion. Does all their errands with his car, and cooks these two fat fucks dinner at night. They run the old guy ragged he looks like Gumby he's so thin. If he complains they threaten him with homelessness.

Plus he's a Frigging drunk, he doesn't drink and drive, - HE DRIVES BLIND. Almost ran me over one night on his way back from the Hillbilly Bar about 10PM while I was walking my dog. Yeah, then on Sunday he goes and preaches at the Baptist Church. One example - I have so, so, so, so, many more with different people. They cloak themselves around the false pretense of being highly moral because they are religious, sucking folks into their web of "money taking" schemes..... Cause, it's all about the money -

Seems even the blind profess

You can't disagree with my personal experiences.

Nor can you disagree with mine. But that's personal experiences for you, they differ wildly from one another. Good day sir.

So you wrote a whole story to prove nothing.

I didn't.

You (literally) did.

Don't know what else to tell you.

It's really not a big deal, let's just move on.

You can’t but one can? Does it depend on the who of you?

I don’t completely agree with you. I have worked in the private sector for years and moved to municipal government. In doing so I did not check my knowledge, work ethics or service qualities at the door. I worked on projects that brought great value to the taxpayers, If we contracted our projects out to the private sector, they would have been over budget, over promised and under delivered. I do run into the employees you talk about and it is a shame. They are hard to fire and bring a bad rap to the rest of us who take the noble cause. I am on a crusade to put the service back into civil servant.

 

[Wiley Marmot]

My experience fairly well parallels ZBOBMAN's. 26 years with the State of MI (MDOC), and another 5 for several corporations subbed to either the Federal DoS or DoD.

I've met and worked with good and bad employees at all pay grades from top to bottom everywhere I've been. The best operations ALWAYS: Descended from top management who had a clear vision and set the standard for honest, efficient, and effective work for themselves and all their subordinates, AND were superior at fostering team spirit.

PS: What the **** was this thread about (says one of the most infamous thread derailers)?

Oh yea;..............................little known tips of the gardening pros.

Yes it is. You were trying to shame a group of people which does not belong to you and try to make another group of people look better which does belong to you.

I really dislike people that try to find ways to degrade others just to look better themselves.
