You know I love you Neo, so I wanted to share some more tips.
The intersections by strip malls and grocery stores near the freeway are good because the lights are longer so you have more time to work and people have some skriz from shopping. Don’t even mess with lifted trucks. Trust me. For some reason Corvette owners are big tippers. Most won’t let you near their car. If I see one, I make solid eye contact with the driver and work towards him with clear intent, holding my rag and spray bottle like six shooters. They have their hand with cash in it hanging out the window before you get within 6 feet. They also usually never have ones, so it’s fives and tens! Also works with Mercedes, new BMWs and any older car that’s been completely restored.
Don’t be afraid to tear off a windshield wiper if someone is not happy with your customer service. Your first kill is always the best, so really revel in it. When they start screaming you can either back away and look at them like they are crazy, or match their tone demanding payment. Usually just yelling you want you two dollars is a good idea for a few reasons. One, they might just give it to you to go away and do no more harm. Two, it lets any other players know you aren’t cheap, and three, it sets expectations for the other drivers. If the scene is really big, you will see the next five or six other drivers digging for money. If the first asshole does bring back the cops, tell them “the driver tried to run you over and as you were falling back you grabbed whatever you could to try to stay out from under the tires”. Then be insistant that YOU want to press charges and get their personal information. EVERY TIME, is how often it works. The driver will try to get away immediately. Let the cops facilitate that (they don’t want the trouble either), but continue to act a little indignant as you lower your tone and rhetoric.
Sunday mornings are a gold mine if you find the right church. You want to look for smaller, newer ones where the members are more dutiful. They are really generous. The bigger churches are generally full of posers who are usually late and in a hurry to get there just in time to be seated, so they don’t have to walk in and have everyone staring at them. Of course some of those assholes like the attention (not very god like). Avoid the synagogues. You will be lucky if every 75th person gives you a quarter. Oh, clearly the time to work is BEFORE church starts. A lot of people feel the drain on their pocketbooks after tithing. It gives them a warm fuzzy boost to give before going to church, like God saw what they did (and saw that it was good).
Good luck, Kemo
