Im just about done with my morning appointment , when in the door walks, this nutcase who used to deliver auto parts. They fired him , because, frankly , he is just weird, and got on everybody's nerves . Im a pretty laid back guy, and had to ask him several times to please exit my personal space.
Any how, him and his weird kid are trying to discuss the theory in how a BMW"S pcv system works with me, I am not interested at this time, and all the while, I am trying to finish up for this customer who is standing there waiting. . I'm trying to be polite, but they are the type that never let you get a word in edgewise .
I had to run up stairs to my office, and get on the phone with the parts store to make my next parts order while I am writing up the bill for the customer that is still here, waiting to check out.
I start telling the guy at the parts store " Hey, Joe, remember that ozzy looking fruitcake that used to deliver for you , he is here and driving me nuts again " I made a few other bad statements about the guy also. I was kind of annoyed, just I like used to get when he worked for them and would make daily deliveries to me. He got fired , because several other shops, including me, asked that he not make parts runs to them anymore. Really strange guy .
Just then, I hear the toilet flush, and out of my bathroom, walks his other kid . I did not even know he was here , or in the building, and hejust helped himself to my restroom.
He heard the whole thing, and shot me a really dirty look as he was walking by .
As I was finishing up with my waiting customer, I heard their car, hurriedly leave my lot .
I guess Id be pissed also , if I just sat there listening to someone talk smack on my dad .
!0 minutes later, I go to use the bathroom, and the little fucher clogged my toilet .
God paid you back....

I had a pest...."FRIEND" who would call me 4 times a day ...and talk about what he found in a Thrift. He is a middle age college graduate Jewish guy whose father owned a janitorial service supply house in LA and grew up in upper MC Encino, CA. He is an obsessive compulsive degenerate gambler who is either flush with cash or can't pay his rent and rides the bus regardless. He lived for 6 years rent free in a high rise condo off the strip that had been foreclosed on. He has encyclopedic knowledge about noir movies, cloths and poker. He has a 1950's sensibility. He always has an angle and calculates what he is going to say next. Manipulative.

I finally told him I thought he was stupid and he hung up on me. I offended his sense of 50's decorum and was being tactless.I have not heard from him in 8 months. Now I am free, if I had only known how easy it was to get rid of him before.

Btw in 2015 he asked me about what Trumps chances were for winning. He mentioned that Trump was a reality tv star where he was a well known celebrity and that would make him a real contender. That made me seriously rethink Trump.
