Sorry, I'll see myself out.
OP is talking about *paid* jobs, dude. I'm pretty sure every guy does that 'job' for free.

No one bothered to ask how the heck you had a live-in gf so young?? More details haha. That sounded like a dream, I still love KFC but rarely have it, need to get some soon.

He came back,I handed him my little homemade invoice for 10 cuts x $5=$50. He laughed at me and said sorry young man,that $5 price as for the entire summer.
He was strong-armed by my grandpa and delightfully paid me the $50.
What kinda prick would do that, esp to a kid? What a piece of work that guy.


Oh, forgot to put in mine: around 14, paper route. I can't believe I got up so early to do that.
