Talk:Squeegee man
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- I have hardly been to a city in the world where these guys aren't operative.
- Some of them do actually wash your windows.
I am altering this page correspondingly. It is currently needlessly offensive (and therefore not objective)
- Agreed. Feel free to mention their diversification - you can often buy roses and newspapers from London squeegees. Pcb21| Pete 14:20, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
In Australia the practice of window washing for money is illegal I find this very hard to believe. Are there no window cleaners in Australia? Or are they all paid by the state? — KayEss | talk 15:42, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
Yes, there are window washers here in Australia and they are tolerated. They are, however, very uncommon. I am unsure of whether or not it is in fact illegal, though. Here in Melbourne, Australia, I am only aware of one intersection where they operate - the corner of Punt Road (Hoddle Street) and Victoria Street, in Richmond.Davez621 13:51, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
I think that Brian Griffin was a squeegee man once. BirdValiant 00:58, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
I have traveled around america and at times have squeegied for money, and most often when not squeeging, made friends and aquaintances with squeegie kids/squeegie men. I find the bias of this article offensive, anywheres I have been, people threatening cars for money are chased away by other squeegie kids. Because no one wants to be associated with such activity, and we would all like to continue our work without harassment from citizens and cops.
I am changeing this article, because it's an absurdity to state threats are an intergral part of squeeging.
