So pretty much every lend a hand thread i see always has people paying in beer and pizza or stupid things like that.
Why cant you just offer people 50$ or more depending on the 24 and the kind of pizza to have people help you?
i think there would be more interest to help people if you forgot about the food and beer and just offer money, (because 3/4 of son is to young to drink anyways)
i would lend help for 50$
Thats what i was thinking …but i dont have time to make a thread on it lol.
beer and food are amazing. if you aren’t old enough to drink fuck off.
but seriously food and beer arn’t so hardcore as to cash. i would rather get 50 bucks yeah. but food and beer and just as good to help out a fellow 240’er
if you dont like/want pizza and beer then dont help the person asking… seems simple
/thread
^^^^^^ what he said
farmer
I think the deciding factor depends on what the person/s need done.
Brake job - beer n pizza is gooood!
Clutch job - well. come on now.
It would be awesome if we had females in SON !!!
Then you would see guys running to help for free LOL!.. And if she was hot most guys would even pay for the parts LOL!
^^^^^^
This guy seriously has the best posts on this site
allllllways get a laugh at what this guy has to say
Thanks bro!
I think it’s because I speak the truth and I say it like it is, I will write about things that most people wouldn’t even dare to write about or are too afraid to talk about in public or would never admit, …things like how cheap toilet paper can rip if your wipping your ass after a juicy crap causing your fingure to puncture through and get shit on it!.. Yeah! So to all you people that cheap out on good quality toilet paper, I will never ever shake your hand…ever!
omg so true! I have pretty decent toilet paper but sometimes I put a little too much force into it resulting in brown-finger tip. LOL.
I think most people that are offering beer and food instead of cash are doing so in hopes that people will do the work for free or for a slice or a couple beets. Ive had that happen plenty of times. Where Im offered some slices and given a couple beers. Ive never really been given a case or anything like that.
Im all for helping people out but at least pay for the gas, shit aint cheap these days.
It’s beer and pizzza and not money because its a helping hand and not a service. Offering Beer and pizza is a social courtesy that says thanks for helping me out and sharing your knowledge on this common interest we have. It’s like having some boys over to watch a game on tv…BEER and PIZZA bitches, synonymous with good times. Just giving someone money takes the personality out of it.
Yeah…something like this happened but in this case, a friend came to help me…I got him food and at the end of the night, I gave him $20 for gas. He drove from hamilton to oakville to help me out. I know $20 isn’t much… but most people don’t even give cash for gas.
+1, That’s why people do beer & food.
I couldn’t have said it better my self!
hell, up here, there’s only 2 240’s in town. always help each other out and swap parts back and forth, it evens out in the end. not sure how it’ll even out after we do his swap though…lol, beer and pizzas!!! that’s how!
if someone comes over to my house… ill offer beer and food no matter what!! whether they’re helping me do something or not… its just proper manners to offer someone food and drink when they enter your home… then if theres a job to be done… beer and pizza dont pay the bills… if you wanna play you gotta pay! everyone knows that!
I try to always give some sort of money or object to someone helping me. Giving food or treats like Sphinxx has stated should just be mandatory hosting manners. People think I just throw money around when someone helps but Time is Money doesnt matter how you look at it.
It’s true. And either way, it’s not like that person is charging you $90 / hr. The least you can do is throw him some money for their gas / time. I’m not saying that you have to give that person like $500 if they helped you out for 5 hours, but a little bit of cash will be appreciated for sure.
