public works fellas are lazy ppl here. no chance of them doing anything.

i've got too many stories about how stupid they are, one story was near death for me.

The workers might fit that, but go up high enough on the chain, and things will happen...

Eventually someone will think they'd lose their job over not responding.

Letters work wonders too - like a letter to the director of the public works department.


FWIW, I work for a government entity - you might have smoe slackers that answer the phones, but if you push hard enough, you'll find someone who gives a sh/t

As a PW employee who works far more than the "normal" 40 hours a week to keep things running well I can only say you are ignorant and attempt to place labels due to your own biases.

Sorry, but the same isn't exactly true up here. The public workers are lazy and do a very bad job; more often than not, in a 5-man team only one of them will be working whilst the others stand around smoking cigarettes and whistling at passing women. Our roads are amongst the worst in the world, a lot of parks I drive by every day are overgrown with vegetation and there is a lot of litter. They are almost always on strike, demanding better pay, better advantages, better working conditions; but they don't deserve it*. I drove back to work today and where the paint had splattered on my car, there were countless tire tracks... I don't know what they were thinking painting those lines in the middle of rush hour.

In any case, the clay bar helped but not a whole lot. Believe it or not, the cleaning wax provided with the Mothers' kit did a better job that the clay bar itself. I think that the next step is having it professionally wetsanded, but my mother's cousin is booked to hell.
