All the other suggestions were weak. You wanna piss him off with him being the dick? Steal his windshield wipers. He'll be too uncaring to check if they are there still, turn on the wipers and scratch his entire windshield and it will be his fault. And no insurance will pay for it since it's not even vandalism but a fallacy to not inspect your car before driving.

the real answer is to glue a tiny pebble or bb inside the caps of all their tire valves so they have a constant slow leak that they won't be able to fix

Wanna run with my crew huh? Rule cyberspace and crunch numbers like I do?

I would seriously just park my motorcycle on the grass, use a puck to keep the kickstand from digging into the dirt. If anyone calls you on it say a truck has been parking in my spot for <however long>

Also all trucks these days look like loving tonka toys with the words written on the grill (which probably isn't even metal)

ERM... Actually I have stellar scores on the surveys, and every year students tell me that my classes are the best ones they’ve ever taken.
another good one is to dump a pile of sugar on the ground under their gas filler and leave the bag stuffed under their tire/windshield wiper/etc but not actually do anything to the car

hundreds of dollars to get the car towed to the mechanic, up on the lift, gas tank drained, for no reason

i rode in the sleeper car once. very nice. you even get a servant (one per car but still). protip: don't leave your shoes out for a shine if the train servant is black. every meal is free. on the good lines it's steak and poo poo. on the bad lines it's merely extremely high end frozen food. three days riding a train cross country, with a servant to make your bed, every meal catered, and literally nothing to do except contemplate how awesome it is to be rich: and this is the middle class experience. the wealthy who want to ride a train will have a private car

oh and yeah they put the dining car between coaches and sleepers. you can go the whole trip without seeing any poors aside from the ones who want to pay $30 to eat your food instead of a bag of chips from the snack stand

Amtrak killed off the program this year where you could just attach your own car to the back of the train because although it was free money, they just didn't want to deal with assholes who have money.

Never set your “gently caress you” price too low.

Either the client you hate is driven away, or they give you enough Benjamins to soothe your pain.

You don’t want to be in a situation where you’re working for them and not feeling properly compensated.

I find it almost meditational to clean and dress leather shoes. But I also enjoy washing and detailing my vehicles. Maybe caring for your stuff is a dying tradition or w/e

tbf most people buy $100 dress shoes that are basically intended to be disposable and would never get a pair of even Allen Edmonds, never mind something higher end.

I was in a vintage shop today and found some old Hanover shell cordovan longwings but they were A width which were way too narrow and I was disappointed.

Yeah. Once you've gotten the polish worked in, scatter a few drops of water (or spit, hence the term) onto the finish and buff hard with a soft cloth pulled tight. Snap it off the toe of the shoe. Shines up like a mirror

I wasn’t really knocking it, just explaining why no one cares for their shoes. most people don’t wear dress shoes with any sort of frequency, so they get a relatively inexpensive pair for the weddings they go to.
