Couple Arrested for Not Paying Tip

longde says...

I have lived on 15k relatively recently, and while on paper it's enough, you are not taking into account the ups and downs of life. If any unexpected thing happens, car breaks, sickness, layoff, you are living in a tent city. And it only has to happen once over your life. Chances are, over a working life, a person making this much will be homeless at some time. And if they make it past working age, they will surely be living out of a tent, eating cat food.

One reason was stated above: you cannot save significant amounts of money on 15k. Not to mention that the poor pay through the nose for everything, and don't have credit.

So, I may have been using hyperbole, but only slightly. Now, I have known of immigrants from China or Mexico who pack into a single family dwelling. In that case, 15k would go a long way, I suppose.

Thats hyperbole if I ever heard it. $15,080 a year = $1256 a month. I don't care what city you live in you can find a $500 a month apartment.
15k isn't enough money to live on for most Americans because most Americans spend their money like fucking retards...which isn't much surprise, because most American's are fucking retards. It has absolutely nothing to do with cost of living.
We are digressing even further, but most American's don't even realize that their lives only exist to work, make, and give money to someone else. If you are a typical American, you spend 20-30 years working 2,080 hours a year making somewhere between $15,080 to $100,000 and at the end of each year you spend almost your entire paycheck regardless of your income level. It doesn't matter whether you have a hyundai or a lexus, your money (and thus your work, your time, and ultimately - your life) is handed over to someone else with hardly a second thought.
1 bedroom, 3 bedrooms, 5 bedrooms, bus, hyundai, lexus, .10 acres, 1 acre, 10 acres - you think it really matters?
If you are working for anyone but yourself, you're a fool.

^if the coat of living was the same the world over, you would have a valid point. 15k in the US gets you a tent city address.

Hyundai Canada Gives Parking Fail Victim A Surprise

To be fair, I'm not sure if I could process the fact that they just gave me a new car well enough to actually be as happy as I should. My reaction would likely be similar.

Great job Hyundai, this is what the world needs.

Pretty clever publicity stunt by Hyundai. Get to capitalize on that viral video popularity and it only costs them one car.


Seriously, most commercials cost way more than that to make.

And a Transformers fan to boot... seemed kind of underwhelmed though. At the risk of spoiling their brilliant viral campaign (sorry), "Damn, I was hoping to move up from a Hyundai... wonder how much I can sell this for... oh wait, instant depreciation hit. Damn. ...."

I can see exactly what he was thinking when she gave him the keys; "fuck, I thought I finally got rid of that shitty ass Hyundai, and now I'm stuck with another one."

Dragging Some Fun Back To The Sift, Kickin' and Bitchin'! (History Talk Post)

peggedbea says...

lets see..
so spring 2001 i must be 18...
my 2 best lady friends and i are leaving some function in downtown fort worth.. 2 am...
we get side swiped by this ass in a broken hyundai that promptly speeds off that
leaves us with a disabled vehicle on the northside (ooo thats the scary side where all the brown people live) of downtown at 2 am. police are called.
we sit on the curb to wait.

a hideous 1981 lincoln pulls up beside us, it was previously driving the wrong way down a one way street for quite some time.

road wolf steps out. unlaced combat boots, one sock, shredded shorty short cut off jeans, worn, greasy, smell molly hatchet shirt. coarse gray beard, dirty face, insane head of long gray hair. about 5'8" semi-girthy...

he is come to save the day. he cant leave 3 lovely young ladies alone on a dangerous street corner in the middle of the night. he will wait with us until the police arrive.

being the outgoing chatty one of the 3 who thinks everyone is great and should be welcomed warmly into my life without an ounce of foresight or thought. i procede to engage in fascinating conversation with road wolf, while my lady friends see exactly so clearly what will happen next. as they are blessed with foresight and haven taken an accurate account of my personal history.

i learn that road wolf lives in his car with 3 delightfully smelly stray dogs, 5 pots, 2 pans, 10 cans of beans, 4 changes of clothes, 2 canteens, 1 case of dog food, 1 can opener, 1 mug, 1 spoon, 1 fork, 3 blankets, and a quart of oil.

road wolf learns that i live in an old house by the university with some friends and work at a coffee shop near by.

he has apparently just been released from a mexican prison for killing a federali. he left behind his beautiful latin love. his heart is broken. but he is pissed the fuck off at some albanian coke dealers. they have done something terrible. they took off to san antonio and set up their headquarters there. FUCK THOSE ALBANIAN COKE DEALERS. he is waiting for some guns to arrive from his cuban friends, then he is taking off to san antonio to KILL THOSE FUCKING ALBANIANS.

instead of sounding paranoid and bizzarre to me, it sounds LIKE A GRAND ADVENTURE TO HAVE. road wolf wants to take me with him i say FUCK YEAH ROAD WOLF LETS KILL THOSE FUCKING ALBANIANS. i learn that he also hates the fuck out of castro and in his youth was hired by the mexican government to assisinate him. he failed. was humilatiated. and has vowed revenge. WHY THE FUCK NOT HOP ON A TRAIN TO SAN ANTONIO, SHOOT SOME FUCKING ALBANIAN COKE DEALERS IN THE FUCKING FACE THEN TAKE OFF TO CUBA AND ATTEMPT TO ASSISINATE CASTRO??!?!!? WHY THE FUCK NOT?!??! 18 year old bea thinks this an extremely amusing adorable conversation. and sooo excited to have made a fascinating new friend. with an irrestible combination of love and rage. perception and madness.

my friends settle up business with the cops, and drag me away from road wolf relunctantly. but not before he hugs me tight and kisses me passionately.

when we get home my friends have to inform me that road wolf is insane and our idea to run away together is fucking insane. and will never happen. he is a paranoid old bum and i am to forget that ever happened. he will not remember once his crack high wears off. ... ok.....

2 days later road wolf shows up at the coffee shop i work at with a trunk full of guns. apparently his shorts are even shorter this time and his shirt has been cut off at the waist. he informs the kids working the shop that he is here to see me "shes not working today" ..."ohh.. well i got all dressed up and combed my hair for her, were going to san antonio, ill just wait here" so the crazy crackhead bum spends several hours in the upscale yuppie coffee house offending people. and i get angry phone calls from my friends at the shop.

road wolf continues to show up at the coffee house either while im not working or have been forced to hide in the back room by friends who have more sense than i.

this goes on for about 2 weeks until road wolf shows up the shop i get a call at home (btw my home at this point is also where all the baby crusty train hopping punk kids hang out and sleep), so back to the phone call, work dude calls me "whos over there right now?" "ahren, josh, grayson,etc" "does ahren have his shank on him?" (ahren=boyfriendishlikebutnotreeeeaalllydude at the time) "sure..." " get them down here right the fuck and now have them take out road wolf once and for all"

jesus fuck, so me and the boys load into the car and drive to coffee shop upon arrival we see 2 police cars surrounding a naked road wolf.

he had apparently decided it was a grand idea to strip naked and smoke crack on the patio of the coffee shop.

road wolf was hauled off to jail and i never saw him again...

and noone had to get bum shanked in an epic hobo battle for my love.
xoxo
