The Mean Girls Are Already After Hick

By "mean girls," I mean the old men at the new storage unit flea market.

Hick was talking to one of his cronies who also got a storage unit down at the new place.

"He said them guys was talkin', and one of them was really mad. 
 
 'Just look at this new guy comin' in here. They've got him a locker up front, and they're payin' to put a storefront on it, and insulate it, and they're givin' him electricity!' 
 
My buddy told him, 
 
 'Wait a minute. They ain't payin' NOTHIN'! He did all that work himself, and he's the one payin' for it.' 
 
Then they didn't say nothin' back about that. I knew it was gonna happen. There's always somebody like that who's jealous of what you got, but don't wanna do nothin' for hisself."

Yeah. I think Hick will be okay. He's not a doormat.

Here's the latest picture from his new storage unit store, to be called the SUS2 
(Storage Unit Store 2).

 
Hick has the front wall done, but hasn't yet painted or doorknobbed his portal! Here's what it looked like a week earlier:

 
Hick only has a couple hours a week to go work on it, what with selling at his current Storage Unit Store, and working on Back-Creek Neighbor Bev's house in the middle-er of nowhere. Plus he had to drive to the city to get a bargain on insulation panels for his ceiling. Ended up paying $125 for 125 sheets. Didn't have to buy the whole 300-piece lot that was advertised.

Hick has moved in some of his storage racks, but I don't know about any merchandise. He and Old Buddy Helper tried to put in some of the insulation, but it was 99 degrees that day, so they gave up. Not sure of his electrical progress, because I don't know if he found the electric box he wanted.

It's coming along. Thus the feeding frenzy over his facility!

  1. Hick is most certainly NOT a doormat. Shame on those other owners for being jealous. But maybe one or two will copy and see the benefits.

    1. I can't believe they never thought to ask the owner, and do it for themselves! It's not Hick's fault they lack imagination.

  2. Hick is a transformer. His new money maker store looks great. People will always be jealous. Tell them to go fly a kite.

    1. Hick doesn't get involved in that gossipy stuff. He's got another "fan" who complains all the time that Hick doesn't like him and isn't fair to him, yet he gets treated the same as all the other junk-selling cronies. Heh, heh! From all my years teaching, I came to believe that "You're not fair!" actually is code for "You're not giving ME special treatment!"
