 Leta McCollough "Your conscience knows the answer, doesn't it?" Rick "If your parents could stay on your floor anytime, why would
you rat on the maintenance man, putting his job in jeopardy and
disrupting his life, unless you and the majority of voters are
rat fink scumbags too." N. K.
McGuire "As soon as Mrs. Johnson said, 'Would you do me a favor?,'
I would have replied, 'I doubt it,' and walked away. But then,
I live in New York." Sweetssns "I haven't called anyone a rat fink since second grade." Doug Heath "The
fact that it bothers you shows that you are a guilty rat fink.
A shrewd opportunist wouldn't have given it a second thought." Anonymous
Bob "People
work for mobsters, drug couriers, and Microsoft, all of which
might be considered legal or even ethical. People work as repo
men, meter maids, etc. The point is that they're all sleaze,
and you are too. But some people make money that way. And more
to the point, what's so fabulous about free nights in somebody's
apartment at the expense of your time and dignity?" Andrew
from New Zealand "Very American money is the bottom line. In terms
of your culture, totally acceptable. I'm surprised you didn't
lecture Joey's wife about morality." M.B. "At least you didn't rat fink for nothing. Shit, everyone
would have rat finked in that situation. Everyone has their price.
Mine just happens to be low." Morgan "Smells like teen apathy." Taryn
Holowicki "You should have warned Joey's wife of her impending doom
and then kept your nose out of it. The poor woman could be the
mother of 10 starving kids trying to get the laundry done!" Tanya
Kukuschkin "You
admit you didn't need the room anyway, so what did you gain except
embarrassing some poor woman who just wanted some clean clothes?" Lori Fadale "Maybe
Mrs. Johnson did give out the key and forgot. Maybe it was an
'unauthorized acquisition.' But since you weren't there to see
what happened stay out of it." Neil "Taking
back the key and keeping mum would have been the logical and
humane choice." The Sculpin "Yuppie?
Yeah, right. A real yuppie wouldn't be caught dead in a building
laundry." Chris
Locke "You need me to explain it to you? I don't think so." Melissa
Jane Hardie "You're a nark." Tim "You're
a rat fink but not a yuppie. A yuppie would have used the key
to do his own laundry before he turned Joey in." Ross Jacobs "Sleep
the good sleep, Chip. You have shaved the thin line that separates
rat finks and opportunists, but you still have not crossed the
line into yuppiedom." Seth Buddy "You
have no right to inhibit the liberty of others. Who cares if
someone was using that old bag's washer? You will most likely
get your Speedo banana hammock caught in the intake mechanism
of the free night apartment's jacuzzi and drown." John Daenzer "I've
met Chip. He's definitely a fink." Laszlo
Meszaros from Sweden "What you did was American, and that's why I can't bear
America." Kelly
Beamon "You'll
pay for your free nights eventually." Mark Messing "My
mother usually stays in a motel when she visits." barmstr@io.org "A
detergent that ruins washers? Be careful when you are in the
market for bridges." Gracemary
Ansink "I am disgusted by you and your page. I would say I am ashamed
to know you, but I don't. By the way, did you use the free nights
yet? I'm available." Kevin
Johnson "Sorry
Chipster, but you blew this one." Copper "Joey's
wife is the one who got ripped off. Joey's wife probably told
his wife that he had permission to use those washers, so she
didn't know she was doing anything wrong." Joe Crew "I must say, I would probably have done the same thing in
the heat of the moment. What I realize now is that I'm a rat
fink and a yuppie. I think I'm gonna cry." Bernadette
Kidd "Mrs.
Johnson obviously needed to distribute her guilt load and sucked
you into the scenario. The transaction should have been handled
by the principals." Christian
Shannon "You
are a rat fink but you made a great deal." Bruce
Madison "Neighbors
don't rat on one another unless the neighbors are worse than
the cops." Heather
Fitzpatrick "You should never tell on anyone. They could turn around
and tell on you and then you will be screwed." Fred Cooper "To
be a rat fink is to do for money what you wouldn't do for free." Mike Corbera "When you returned after dinner to find the culprit, you
moved beyond the realm of opportunism." Lisa "A
creative individual will search for the win-win. The only thing
you're guilty of is being somewhat less than creative." John Huffman "I
remember you from elementary school. You told on the other kids.
The teacher liked you. The rest of us thought you ate boogers.
If that's not you, you're a rat fink." Biff "You should have blackmailed Joey and had your way with
his wife." See
