[QUOTE=Qjwin;1812792]Interesting story, and it destroys the stereotype of the hobbyist who's the one who gives the cold shoulder to the provider in public. I always knew this was a bit of fiction. It's generally the providers who want nothing to do with hobbyists in public. They have no problem sucking up all that cash but see them in public and they shun you like a leper riddled with scabies.[/QUOTE]Of course they take your money- And we all freely give it. It's a JOB. If I saw my ATF out, I would not expect her to be talking to me. No way. It's not like they have socially acceptable jobs, even though most of us don't know where we would be without them. Maybe they are the ones who feel like lepers. Damn, don't take it so hard, bro.
In my opinion, my girl gives me enough when I do see her. And I love every minute, and will continue to pay her for the time. The way I see it, she owes me ABSOLUTELY NOTHING on the outs. That's just not in the job description. Time is money. Period.
