Had a Guy at Gun Point Friday.

[Troy@Protekt]

I half expected the cops to show up to arrest me half way through my detail Friday. I was just finishing up washing my customer's car in a parking lot when a frantic looking guy standing by the back of my truck startled me. As I was walking back to shut off my pressure washer I had the pressure gun aimed in his general direction and he acted like I was gonna shoot him.:rofl

I turned off the pressure washer and proceeded to be friendly with the guy as he is standing there all jittery like he was on drugs. With a frightened look on his face he begins our conversation with "Is that stuff toxic? Do you know you're are poisoning us? Is that stuff toxic?"

I then tried to put the guy at ease by stating that it was not toxic and showed him I was using my car wash soap and wheel cleaner without gloves and I still had my skin and was breathing normally.

This guy was so disturbed at what I was doing it was comical to me. I honestly could have taken a bottle of Spray Wax and chased him around the parking lot with it. Thank you EPA for all your scare tactics. It seems to be working on a few.:bigups

By the way, I was not getting Punk'd. Although I did look around for the cameras.

Should of sprayed the wax on your hand and started screaming. There is all kinds out there.

Your demeanor while facing one of questionable mental stability is remarkable. Sounds like you handled it well but your a nice guy anyway.

Unfortunately there are weirdos all around us!

I knew ya'll Florida guys were gun totin' gangstas at heart. :lol2:





What a tale to tell. Is there a mental health facility nearby, or do you think he was really chemically enhanced? :hmmm:

That is hilarious! I would of ran in circles around the car with MF WW tied around my head, and QD in both hands yelling there coming for us! LOL

 

[Troy@Protekt]

Is there a mental health facility nearby, or do you think he was really chemically enhanced? :hmmm:

If I had to guess, I would say he was definitely being medicated with something.

I should consider myself lucky, in all my years of detailing, that was the first and only time someone showed concern about how toxic the products I used are.

Sorry for the bump but that sounds like a case of obsessive-compulsive disorder if you ask me.

 

[The Chee]
