Thanks, D. I knew you'd think it was funny but thought you'd say it isn't just to be a contrarian asshole.

(Why is spell check calling me out on "contrarian"?)

The general concept is funny, but I still say you're the asshole here, because you don't know the guy. If someone I don't know did a shitty job (you either didn't properly soak down the car before washing it or properly rinse it after washing it or both, or didn't really split the car right down the middle) washing my car, unasked for, I would be pissed.

But as long as it was symmetrical and properly rinsed you'd be cool with it?

I'd think it's hilarious. I'd probably even go introduce myself and take him out to dinner or maybe a Pawsox game.

If you wanted to be a real asshole, you should've only cleaned the passenger side.

If I somehow made it to the point I were actually running for President and like in the primaries, I'd lose because I'd slip and tell somebody to shut the fuck up and/or to suck a/my dick.

I would think I would too but I've somehow managed to elude this scenario through 18 years of corporate America.

Have thought of something similar before. If a dark-horse candidate decided to base their campaign on full-bore, brutal honesty, completely unapologetic, and speak his/her mind at all times, explicitly insulting their opponents and simply telling people to fuck off when annoyed...they'd still be a long shot to actually win, but I think they'd at least draw a sizable enough base of support that they'd be a part of the national conversation and be an X-factor in the primaries.

You don't get questioned daily/get in debates daily/have people in crowds challenging you daily in corporate America. I think it's much easier since you basically just have like a few people you can't piss off.

I'm not so sure. Bernie Sanders speaks truth to power (without swearing) and he's still basically a joke candidate on a Ron Paul level (who is another person I legitimately believe was being honest in his statements, etc. as well)

I really, honestly, truly believe he's being honest in all of his public remarks, statements, etc. but half the country thinks he's full of shit before he even opens his mouth and 95 percent of the remaining 50 percent doesn't care because he doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning.

Definitely not as effective if not symmetrical.

You get pissed if someone half dirties your car, not if they half wash it. What's the downside there?

The only thing I can think of is if you have OCD, it could set it into a tailspin. Looking in his car though, I can verify with almost absolute certainty that he doesn't.

I think I've seen the sunrise for the last 40 days.

No problems falling asleep, but many problems staying asleep. I woke up at 3 this morning and gave up on the idea of falling back asleep. Coffee is brewing.

You and Chris Christie. Like Carwash said, Christie has a sizable following (no pun intended).

As for the car, I'd be annoyed, as I'd have to get the other half of the car washed.

I'm not a big car guy - I drive a 2000 Accord and rarely wash it, but I still wouldn't be happy about a stranger touching my car like that. Keep off of my shit.

If a friend did it, it would be funny. The creepy old dude who lives across the street from my girlfriend? That's fucking weird.

If she's in her 20s, you're probably creepy or on the cusp. If she's closer to your age, you're fine.

I interpreted it as the boyfriend of your neighbor's daughter - probably a teenager. It sounds like the real story is not nearly as creepy, but it's still pretty weird.

This a prank only the old guys would get. In the old days, there was a cheap auto painting chain across the U.S. called Earl Scheib Auto Painting. Every day, there were newspaper ads featuring a picture of Earl's face saying, "I'll paint any car for only $19.95!!!". So, when I was in college, I guy I knew said he borrowed his cousin's car for a week. He said that when he returned the car to his cousin, he said, "Here's your car back, Jim. Now, it's GREEN!"

Yes... he had taken it to Earl Scheib before returning it.
