A buddy of mine is looking for a place to stay. I said no.
Two years ago, he got his car towed from the apartment complex where he was staying because he’d not kept his stickers up to date. I withdrew the cash and drove him to the import lot so he could have his car back.
In exchange, I asked him for two drawings and an invoice that said as much. I figured I’d get me two drawings for a project I was working on, he’d have a record of being paid for his work, and he’d have his car back.
About a month later, the car died. He did not bother to get it fixed and pretty much gave it to the mechanic.
( But wait, there's more! )
