Can anyone tell me how a Karang Guni man charges for the weight of newspapers? Anyone knows or thinks they've got cheated before?
I'm pissed with a recent unpleasant exchange.... -

It's more so the issue of integrity than about money. If they can't do a simple job honestly, what else can they do! Also, don't you know some Karang Guni man can become quite rich?Originally posted by skeujin:y get upset over a few cents? ther r more important things in life to be concerned about.
Also, I gave them newspapers coz it's the only way to quieten their honking and ringing and dragging they trolleys over the stairs. AT my neighbourhood, these inconsiderate KG men come like, 4 to 5 days per week and they're getting really persistant with you, asking, you've got old TVs, handphones, clothes...blahblahblah....worse than pushy salesmen!!! -
jus like cats in a hawker cente. if you entertain them. they will keep comming back. simple as that. if you stop giving them your papers n stop answering your door. sooner or later they will leave you alone.Originally posted by trendyuen:It's more so the issue of integrity than about money.

Well, for me it's supposed to be a win-win situation so I 'entertain' them. And being nice to a cat has much more benefits!! It will be really affectionate to you!! Don't drag cats into this....sorry, I'm just a cat-lover...!!Originally posted by skeujin:jus like cats in a hawker cente. if you entertain them. they will keep comming back. simple as that. if you stop giving them your papers n stop answering your door. sooner or later they will leave you alone.

since you're emphasizing on the word 'clean', i presume you're implying that the garang guni is dirty?Originally posted by trendyuen:Again, I'm going back to the INTEGRITY issue. Also, I didn't like your analogy...lol..Cats RULEZZZ...They are agile, lean, beautiful and CLEAN creatures...
