Pocketful of Quarters
Bitches, man! So I went to my local neighborhood coin-op car wash. I pay 2 bucks to wash the car, an another $1.50 to vacuum it out. During my first (of two) 75 cent vacuumings I decide to remove the attachment off the end of the hose. I had a lot of pine needles from Christmas trees from years gone by and I needed the extra suction. So I'm suckin' 'em all up, getting my carpets cleaned. After the vacuum stops I decide that I need another vacuuming session to get the rest out. I walk over to the change machine, put my dollar in, and get some more quarters. Right AFTER I put my money in the machine the owner of the car wash comes over and asks if I removed the end from the hose. I said, 'yes' and he starts bitching to me about the vacuums are not meant to be used without the attachment and how he just replaced a $60 motor and he doesn't want to have to do that all the time. I told him it works better without the attachment on the end, and he just wouldn't shut up about it. Finally, I 'apologized' and he wandered away. Bitches, man! So, I drained the quarter machine - well, as much as I could with $7.
