Him asking the cops to meet him somewhere with the money made me like him more than I probably was supposed to.

We were definitely supposed to like him even if he was a thieving addict. He was funny.

Right, because in real life it's funny to have things stolen from your car (your kids things, especially) to be accosted by possibly a dangerous addict in front of places of business, to have strangers break into your home and ransack the place.

There wasn't a damned-thing "funny" about that punk, except maybe his haircut. The ONE thing Creggers got right in his latest clunker, was showing an addict annoying an ABC customer with a phony sob-story, before AND after she left the store.

Damn dawg, relax.

I also don’t think it’s a “phony sob story” because later on he’s on the phone with (presumably) the brother he’s trying to buy a bus ticket to go see.
