johnchow.com — With the holidays just around the corner and Black Friday fast approaching, the shopping bug is about to test the limits of our wallet and credit cards. Most people have a good idea on what to buy family and love ones but what about the ?other people?? Co-workers, babysitters, barber, the doormen, etc.

I only get gifts for family, ladyfriends and MAYBE if I have a friend with an ESPECIALLY cute kid, I'll get the kid something. Most of the kids I've seen this year are homely though, so I don't think I will get them anything. Everyone else can suck eggs, and cram it with walnuts.

i dont think there are anymore paperboys.the paper route in my neighborhood is monopolized by a grown mexican man that drives a taurus wagon around at 5am.i used to be a paperboy and a good tip on xmas was 5 bucks... but that was back in 85-87

One things I've never understood is *why* I have to pay extra for someone to do their job? The paperboy, he gets paid every month by the news paper company, why should I give him extra money? The lady who cuts my hair, she gets an hourly wage. Baby sitter, she gets paid to. So why is it that I'm expected to pay them extra?

Depending on your age, that $2 you got as a kid could actually be $10 today, through the magic of inflation! Thanks, Federal Reserve!

wait a minute.in hindsight being a paperboy was f**ked. i was 12. i had to walk 2 miles a day, rain or shine, 100 degrees or -20 degrees. some people wouldn't pay. i would have to hound people for money. no one cared. and i was making 35 to 80 dollars a week. for fifty houses. sometimes enough people wouldn't pay in one week that i would actually lose money, which i HAD to pay back out of pocket.so f**k paperboys

WTF are your guys' problems? I'm not religious at all, I believe in what we actually observe (aka science). But who the hell doesn't celebrate Christmas? It's not about f**king religion.
