I'm a bad, bad, person.....

UtahCoin · December 30, 2007 5:23AM

I have several nieces nephews (39 at last count), most of whom are good kids (all between 10-30 yrs old). One in particular is the laziest young man I have ever met. 22 years old, can't keep a job (never HIS fault), lives at home and thinks the world owes him nice things. He wants to buy a $10,000 car, and asked me to "loan" (like I'd ever see it again) him 10K. Well, being in the holiday mood, I told him I would send him $10K in cash as a gift, no repayment necessary.

This is what I sent him .

Odd, I have not heard back from him....

MadMarty · December 30, 2007 5:24AM

You sent him a bad link??? No wonder he hasn't called!!

Bear · December 30, 2007 5:27AM

Send him a rubber chicken.

It worked for the Mad One.

ahooka454 · December 30, 2007 5:29AM

Thats funny. I like that too.

slipgate · December 30, 2007 5:29AM

Outstanding!

Coxe · December 30, 2007 5:31AM

What a waste of 45 bucks.

DUIGUY · December 30, 2007 5:32AM

Shredded cash! OUTSTANDING job!

edited to add;
The 20 something generation amazes me. Had an employee come to my desk saying he needed to blow his nose. He asked if I had anything he could use.

This action screams, Take care of me, I can't take care of myself. Whata shame.

edix2001 · December 30, 2007 5:32AM

Maybe he could hire some seasoned Persian rug weavers to put them back together again.

<< What a waste of 45 bucks. >>

Thus wasting $9,955 less than could have otherwise been the case.

Cameonut · December 30, 2007 5:34AM

I like it - I may have to use that someday myself.

But if the kid is resourceful, he will sell it for $40 or more and then all he has to do is figure out how to come up with the other $9,960.

LindeDad · December 30, 2007 5:36AM

Wonder how long he will spend trying to put it back together? That type usually think they can accomplish things like that, but it is impossible to put up with the toils of "Do You want katsup with that?"

Coxe · December 30, 2007 5:37AM

If such a verbal contract was legally enforceable, considering there is no clear equitable bilateral exchange of consideration. Creative lesson for the lazyass nonetheless.

...lest we forget four dollars, ninety-five cents in shipping/handling charges.

I told my ex all the time not to reward bad behavior.

I wish she would pay the 30 grand in back child support. I'm not the judge, but Coxe is pretty funny.

MadMarty · December 30, 2007 5:39AM

If you go to the Fed Reserve back you can get bags for free!

NumisOxide · December 30, 2007 5:41AM

Love it!

UtahCoin · December 30, 2007 5:42AM

<< What a waste of 45 bucks. >>

A waste?? I've spent more than that at a comedy club and didn't laugh as hard as I did when I pictured him opening the box with the card that simply said, "$10,000, just as I promised".

PRICLESS !!

tahoe98 · December 30, 2007 5:45AM

let's just hope he doesn't 'wig out' and go postal on you!

MrEureka · December 30, 2007 5:49AM

I'm going to have to rig a trick paper shredder in my office, pre-load some of that shredded paper in the waste bin, and keep a supply of cash on hand. Just for the right opportunity.

Coxe · December 30, 2007 5:49AM

Yeah, that Washington state Anderson family slayings come to mind. Have to agree that even the thought of it is priceless.

BBQnBLUES · December 30, 2007 5:56AM

Well I Hope you at least included a roll of scotch tape with the gift

Myqqy · December 30, 2007 6:07AM

What kind of a dumbazz wants to spend $10k on a new car when they can't hold down a job at 22?

ddbird · December 30, 2007 6:11AM

You'd be surprised.

I remember thinking something similar when my 19 year old buddy took a loan out to buy a new WRX.

TwoSides2aCoin · December 30, 2007 6:13AM

I could get a ten thousand dollar car with my statehood quarters .... If I could get retail

JapanJohn · December 30, 2007 6:24AM

After my father died I checked out his computer to see if anything needed backed up or deleted or whatever. I saw some emails from a relative who Dad had loaned money to that was never repaid. After the fact the relative tried to convince my father to buy in on the bottom of a pyramid scheme and how it was a sure thing, etc, etc.

Boy did I get steamed when I read all that. I was scared to see the reply but basically it said, "If you ever pay back what you owe me then we can talk about any future loans"

Loaning money to relatives is not good. Helping them get a loan is another thing entirely.

That was just a few miles from me......things like that happen and people still don't want the death penalty to apply

That was tragic and then some

ricko · December 30, 2007 8:32AM

Bochi, I agree... people in Washington are so naive and spineless (the major portion east of the Cascades and west of the Olympics), they want no punishment until something happens to them... then they scream and yell.... The Seattle wimpettes really p*ss me off most of the time... Cheers, RickO

garsmith · December 30, 2007 10:59AM

I have a cousin that used to work in the shredding department; he gave me a glass vile filled with shreaded $100's one time.

23Pairer · December 30, 2007 11:03AM

OUTSTANDING!!

ilikebuffaloes · December 30, 2007 12:09PM

I like it!

Unfortunately I don't think he will learn anything from it.

FullStrike · December 30, 2007 3:37PM

Can you at least give him enough glue to make papier mache ?

On second thought maybe you shouldn't - he might make a projectile launcher model and send it to you as a vague reminder of your generosity.

Thats funny.

Would have been even better to buy bag... preload into paper shredder. Then feed a few $1's into shredder on video. Send him video and loose money. He would have really flipped his wig.

BECOKA · December 30, 2007 3:59PM

Classic,

Wish my mind was as imaginative as yours.

You certainly know how to win enemies and influence moochers.

Omega · December 30, 2007 10:38PM

I like it! He could start bartering on Craigslist and "work" his way to his dream car! (Much better than a red paper clip traded up to a house.) Too bad he is adverse to work!

Eagleguy · December 31, 2007 3:34AM

Awesome!

Just last week my sister actually invited me, my wife and daughter to join her family for a vacation at Disneyland - then had the nerve to ask me to pay for everybody! She actually prefaced the request with "I don't want to be known as the mooch of the family but..."

My response - "Too Late!"

Of course, now I'M the bad guy.

Wes;

I've always wanted to buy uncut sheets of currency (low denomination) to use as Christmas wrap.. but forget to each year..

Wish you could buy them for face value from the Fed Reserve branches.

Can just imagine my family's response when they see it under the tree. LOL
