He's home from college so on Saturday I ask him to mow the lawns before his mom comes home from the hospital. After grumbling about it he proceeds to just mow ours and leave the neighbors looking like crap.

20 bucks for 10 minutes easy work left sitting on the table. What a dumb a$$.

Gotta go to Washington and get a Big G job.
