We've all seen them. Kids, grown adults, sitting on the corner of a busy intersection with their squigies waiting to wash your window in return for money. What do you guys think about squigy kids/adults? I only ask because yesterday on my way to pick up my bf from work i saw one across the street from me. What are your initial thoughts when you see one? What is your reaction when you don't have any change, or you do and you don't want them to wash your window? Didn't they pass a law against them????

We don't have them here. The only time anyone is coming up to your car here is if the fire dept is collecting for charity and you have to motion for them to come to your car at the light. *idea, maybe I'll go buy a squigy and go to work part time* lol Seriously, that sounds very disturbing and sad. | ||

I'm in South Florida. I went to Lauderdale once and I remember seeing people selling News papers on the corners. But never squigy's. We have car washes for that. Isn't there a child labor law or something? | ||

We are in Wylie (Dallas) Texas. I've seen a few grown up that want to wash windows. We have way more of the people with signs (Will work for beer) on the corners begging for money. Awhile back I had gone to the store, I was driving a Miata and had my 70 lb pitbull in the passenger seat. A man came up trying to wash my window and my dear dog went into "mean pitbull" bark. Didn't take long for the guy to leave. :-)
