He was working for free, maybe if you were paying him in one way or another(not counting $5 pizza from Little Ceasars) and he pulled something like that I could see it being grounds to put in a bad word for not doing anything. > > I’ve seen Joe Jiggs recently take on a few paying jobs for his work, which I congratulate him on that because if he kept working for free he would’ve still been getting taken advantage of, **in which there are a handful of people in the Guilderland area who only call Joe Jiggs when they need something mechanical done, and act like they’re his friend for the short period of time that he helps them, then treat him like shit (i.e: Leave him places like LVD, Lake George, etc.).** > > I support JJ I hope that part of what your saying is not about me as I live in guilderland and have had joe work on my cars before. Joe is a good guy and was greatfull for the work he had done for me. I have bought him food as well as even asked if he wanted money and he said “no” I always invited him to places such as lvd, anytime I went to the mall, etc. On his birthday last year we were working on my daily driver and he called and asked if I wanted to finish what we were doing and I said its your birthday you dont have to. He still wanted to. After we finsihed (which i think i may have told him to stop) I offered him to go to the movies with my girlfriend and friend and had no problem paying for him at all. all and all I consider joe a friend as I use to be with him in highschool. So again, I hope that sentence didnt include me. -Chris --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/this-is-why-we-cant-have-nice-things-the-joe-jiggs-appreciation-thread/253459)._
