    What would you do?

    One cannot change in one month the average built in three years. And I didn't fire him, we both agreed to end the contract. Sent from my SGH-T999 using EO Forums mobile app

    What would you do?

    It was the straw. Plus he had a "loaded" driving history while being an 18 wheeler. And as a 4 wheeler, with his personal car. He wasn't born to be a pro driver. Sent from my SGH-T999 using EO Forums mobile app

    What would you do?

    I mentioned that I gave him two GPS units, of course one at the time. First one had 93, the second 94. So, I think it's clear that this guy was hitting hard the gas pedal. I never tried that kind of speed, 'cept in Germany where I guess you know there's no speed limit (I reached 180 kmh)...

    What would you do?

    Bad. He was complaining about the poor mpg. But anyway, since he didn't try to defend himself about this speed matter, it's clear that he knew what he was doing. Sent from my SGH-T999 using EO Forums mobile app

    What would you do?

    It's Garmin and it's accurate, I verified it myself when it records the top speed. Of course, the top speed I reached was 78 in western Texas. Sent from my SGH-T999 using EO Forums mobile app

    What would you do?

    The info was very accurate: the GPS showed me the speed records. He didn't know the GPS does that... he was complaining about the GPS as being inaccurate, outdated, etc., so I gave him a brand new one. On the first GPS, the top speed was 93 mph. I thought maybe he just passed another vehicle and...

    Any other former smokers here?

    I quit back in '91, then with a little help from my cousin I started again two years later. I quit again in '01 for a short period, then another temporary pause last winter when I got cold and I couldn't stand the smell of it anymore. Unfortunately, three weeks later, when I went back in...

    Panhandler...to give or not to give, that's the question.

    That's what I tell 'em every time. But today it was a little bit different (I should say a case of desperation), a Spanish woman, maybe early 30's, asked me for something to drink, then change to spare, and since my answers were no, she offered me an "oral activity". I guess she got scared when...

    What would you do?

    First thing I did it was to ask him to buy the van from me for a more than decent price. Since the answer was a refusal, I had to let him go. But I still feel sorry for him and I'm thinking of giving him a second chance, but as you said, to limit the speed at 75. Sent from my SGH-T999 using EO...

    Missing expediter

    Thank God they found him... as I mentioned before, the guy has some religion issues, he retreated himself in a monastery for few days, but told no one about this. Of course he turned off his cell.
