I worked for a guy for a week …..I’d heard bad things about this guy so when he hired me I told him that the first week was going to be a trial …….after three days I decided the guy was a complete dick to his workers and not so much of a dick to me …..I knew that would change . So I told him Friday would be my last day, and I would continue to perform efficiently until Friday and he can pay me on Friday . He got all pissy and let me go that day.He told me he would mail me a check …….I didn’t hold my breath .

I gave him two weeks…….calling him a few times to ask where the check was .

”Fuck you , I ain’t paying you shit”

6 months later I went to where he conveniently parked his six vans in the alley behind his house .

Lets do the math …..4 tires on each of the six vans plus 12 employees who couldn’t leave to hit the service calls he had booked for the next morning .

Sidewalls are not repairable ……

A lot more than writing that check for me …….

A few years later I had a helper who worked for him …….apparently he still goes on about those tires and tells everyone and everyone about the incident ……

The kicker …….he was convinced it was his ex wife’s new boyfriend …..couldn’t prove it so installed cameras at the back of his house …..more expense.
