This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Always keep a couple crackheads. Also, make sure you filter your crackheads. You want the ones who'll help you clean your garage for $10, not the ones who will clean out your garage for about $10 down at the pawn shop.
Promote a positive environment, help turn the crackden into a crackhome.
You joke, but the crackhead hooker next door to me in Chicago would clean my place, top to bottom, for a 20 spot. Wouldn't dare steal anything because I was good money for a regular rock.
I've known a few like that. Why I joke about it. I knew a guy, if he could have kept his shit together, he coulda had his own damn shop. Dude could fix about anything mechanical, get it done quicker than some of the shops around the place.
Saw plenty of 'em working in construction, too. Keep it together long enough to make some decent cash, disappear for awhile, come back when they needed more. You got used to rotating faces, got to know which ones would try to screw you over. Too many times you'd see one come up alone and find out the buddies they had didn't make it through the last.
That's the thing about addicts. They're still people. Some get into a bad situation and know better than to fuck up the few good opportunities they'll get. Many will fuck themselves over for easy and quick gains. The latter group is why my wife would kill me if I hired an addict prostitute to clean our home.
I had smack and crack habits off and on for almost twenty years. Never stole anything (aside from occasionally shoplifted food). I always worked and paid for my shit. However there are an awful lot of people out there who use their habits to justify shitty behaviour, so yeah, I'd err on the side of caution.
This guy knows his junkies.
There's a slight but very crucial difference.
rent has gone up 40% because the crackheads are now moving in
You have never lived in a Crack friendly neighborhood.
