He cleans your windshield for free when ur stopping at a red light, I did twice.

[R31Nismoid]

You are meant to give them a dollar coin dude...

[Basti]

hahahaha. i. hate. them. so much. my car is clean you douche bag, and now has streaks of dishwashing soap on it

[Kerrknight]

I gave him a cigarette...

[R31Nismoid]

Well it wasn't for free then was it?

[interfooler]

I hate it... their wiper has the potential to lay scratches on the windscreen after using on so many cars without a rinse. But before I could even say NO to them they have already started cleaning mine. Worst if you have just washed your car.

You can spot them from ages away, just wind down the window and shake you hand saying no...but give them a dollar anyway

[AnDyStYLe]

^ Don't give them a dollar anyway as that's a way of encouragement for them to continue to be a waste of my tax dollar lol

Cheers,

Andy

[KURAUN]

WTF? don't pay for junkie scum to get high! don't forget you are already paying for their dole money because they are lazy pieces of shit that cant be fucked working if anything you should give them a knuckle sandwhich

i keep my car clean as hell and these f**k come and put their dirty fingerprints all over the thing, as well as leave streaks all over the window and fqp

they even look like they are gonna touch it they get told where to go

I went passed him, he didn't wash my windshield, but I asked him how much money he was making from washing windshields. He said that he'd do 70ish cars in an hour, that nearly all payed him $1 or $2

Thats like $100 an hour

[bluejeans]

maybe 5$ and he will do my whole car!

hhrmm could be onto a business idea here..

I've been looking into the legalities of professional / legitimate side-of-road windscreen washing.

Whether it's viable or not remains to be seen, particularly given public liability / local law requirements etc.

I was at the intersection of Hoddle and Victoria St. the white trash scum fuckers were washing windows and a cop car came to the intersection.

The officer yelled out to the junkie and told him to stay where he was and was dealt with.

I am not aware of any law against window washing, but that day, the officer decided to take action and make the law...

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

well it's tax evasion for a start

[Birds]

They're not all junkies...and they are working by washing windows, even if you don't consider it a proper job. Could probably find something more useful to do given most cars come with wipers and washers these days but anywhoo.

I too have heard that some of these people earn a decent coin from it?

Well if he is making $100 an hour without paying tax, then he's doing well.

You get to pick your own hours too, I guess. - Not that I'd like to wash peoples windshields, I'm just sayin'.

I call bullshit! They are ALL junkies. I walk past them every single day out the front of my place.

There is not one "respectable" person out there, as it requires a permit to work traffic lights - and they aint touting one of those thats for sure.

f**kers are earning more than the Min wage without question, and are not paying tax - and then just jamming it up their arms.

Scum of society really. And hence everytime the divvy van comes around the pack-up and high-tail it outta the area because the cops confiscate their gear.

Pity they don't do it every day IMO.

Had one on punt road richmond, shook my head told him no and he washed it anyway.

He started chatting even though i wasnt interested. Told us he used to have a skyline too till he wrote it off into a tree, that's wonderful i thought to myself.

I gave him about 50c in change.

I guess if he is a junkie it's better than him stealing robbing and breaking into homes and cars. At least he is providing a service even if it's not needed.

Maybe if they actually sold something it wouldnt be so annoying newspapers, cans of coke or something.
