the scene first described was very common in NYC a few years ago. in fact as you came out of the Holland Tunnel into Canal St. in Chinatown, there were hordes of squeegee guys waiting at the first stop light. i witnessed many encounters between irate motorists and these fellows. Rudy Giulianni's first order of business as mayor was to address many of these "quality of life" problems. i guess they are still around - just moved on to a different racket. there's a new mayor in town, i wonder if they'll make a comeback...
