A few days ago i was sitting at red light, homeless crackhead runs up to my truck and squirts what i would bet money was his own piss in a windex bottle, on my windshield and attempts to clean it. I jumped out so quick said wtf dude, first of all i didnt give u the wave to go ahead and provide your “service” , and second, read the damn truck, it says window cleaning all over it!! You think i needed you?
He then had the nerve to ask if i was hiring… :angry:

Hmmmmm. You might be a Bucket Bob if…

You don’t have a set schedule for your accounts. Just show up when you need cash, sometimes not for months, sometimes multiple times in a single month.

You accept “alternative” forms of payment, like beer, framed paintings, or convenience store snacks.

Your “uniform” shirt doesn’t have a fancy logo…or sleeves.

Your storefront route is limited to a comfortable walking distance from your dwelling. Bonus points if it’s because your driver’s license was suspended/revoked, or you are just too chicken to ride your bicycle while drunk.

Some of the “alternative” forms of payment I have received: 125 gallons of stove oil, labor for a new roof, a bathroom remodel, and a bunch of X-Wing miniatures (see pic).

Not interested in beer (but wine could be considered)

I know. Kinda harsh old school jargon.

We live in a politically correct society now. :wink:

There are 2 different paths. You can be a window cleaner or you can be a business owner.

We are all Bob’s in the beginning. It’s what you do in the long run that counts.
