Kaya pala di umaasenso ang Pinas. Because poverty can be a license to do any crime.

sayang hindi ko nakita. hahaha. mga 12:30 siguro ako napadaan don. and to think pag daan ko ang dami pa rin nila don. mga walang kadala-dala. meron pa don iba malalaki katawan at mga mid 20's na. sana yun ung nabangga. haha
Those kids are getting wiser too.. Before i used to just turn on my wiper then spray some water on the windshield then they'll leave my vehicle alone..
Now they put your wipers up!! Hassle!!!
While the windshield gangs are infuriating, there is no law stating that it is illegal to clean a vehicle without permission.
There is a law, however, against brandishing a firearm in public and pointing it at people... and a law against running people over.
Kung soapy windshield lang ang problema at tinutukan na ng baril, paano kung na-cut-off mo yung gagong yan?
Think about it, people. Assholes like that are the reason poor people hate us car-owners.
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
^ Yeah, it's wrong to point a gun but reading about someone doing what a lot of us devilishly give thought about whenever we're harassed by those hardened street thugs (or dangerously cut off by a bus running at high speed on EDSA)... its simply hard to wipe that grin off. :D
And being fresh from seeing kids stealing from a taxi in front of me in EDSA traffic recently, it just seems to be karma working at those who are becoming very brazen in harassing citizens. Maybe the Benz guy will get his dessert just as well? We'll never know. Possibly politico yan or "connected" businessman. Maybe we can check with CATS Motors for an E Class needing some detailing from scratches.
Hindi lang siguro nila nakita yung isang thread na napagmulan ng funny farm.

Certainly practical points, niky. But I probably would have done the same as the Merc if I see a Scotch-Brite being pointed at my car. I believe this is the reason on why people cheer for the Merc - they're THAT frustrated. It's much like a scenario where you encounter a person everyday would "offer" to clean my lawn or else he'll vandalize my surrounding perimeter. By all means, this is extortion - which is defined by law as "committed by obtaining property (or cash) from another without his consent, induced by wrongful use of fear." and if they ditch their "unwanted services", they in-turn are termed as "medicants" wherein the giving of alms is actually a criminal liability (the anti-beggars law).
So from my perspective, they're already breaking the law just trying to ply the streets. So I'll just stick to one phrase: "Don't bother me and I won't bother you". I won't care if the poor thinks poorly of the rich, personally I think that's being an ingrate. Who's paying taxes? We are. People are supposed to fend off for themselves, I don't advocate socialism. As Roosevelt has said, "capitalism is unequal divided riches but socialism is equally divided poverty".

Ah...kaya pala medyo mabait sila kanina. Humingi pa ng permission. Well, binusinahan ko na lng.
Nakita ko rin last time. Yun isang van, tinaas yun wiper ng van at nag punas ng windshield. Binabaan ng pasahero, umalis na lng yun WS Boys.
Kainis rin yan. Di ko pinapapunas, nakakaperwisyo, so ginawa ko, sige, magpunas ka. Pag tapus nila magpunas, di ko talaga binigyan. So nilagyan nila ng sabon yun side windows ko. Buti na lng umuulan, nawala yun sabon after awhile. Hay!
clearly the wash boys are wrong in this and the benz driver only made a self defense in his/her part...
its like the modus on a bus called "zesto gang" wherein a vendor would open a zesto (put straw) and force the victim to buy his overpriced zesto...
the benz or any other car victim did not ask for the wash boy service yet after they are done then ask for money and if you dont give u get the feeling that they will inflict damage on your car...
this must be escalated to LTO/MMDA for the apprehension of this notorious wash boys!!!![]()
