Angry Moral and Civil duty or None of my Business

A guy at school found out today that I drive a diesel. apparently he does too. blah blah blah. brag brag brag. he's a kind of guy you try to avoid.

Anyway, he continues on to brag that he uses the red dyed farm diesel and pays only $1 a gallon. no road tax i guess.

Question. should i report this guy? will reporting this guy ruin my good karma or is it my moral obligation to report cheaters. I pay the road tax, and so do you. But this guy does not.

What would you do?

Baaaad karma to narc but, remind him that it's illegal and, expensive if caught. Then, as a sidebar, mention that one of the Forumites you occasionally correspond with is a Federal agent.

I would just leave it alone. What goes around comes around -- no need for you to give him a push in that direction -- it will happen of its own accord.

He will brag to the wrong person and cut his own throat, keep your karma, pity the fool.

maybe he has farm plates. Registered owner could be the family farm and it's considered a farm vehicle that his daddy just lets him drive to school.

Or not...but don't mess with karma. a dick always gets dicked in the end, an ******* always gets the **** squeezed outta it.

Doesn't matter in most states how it is registered, if it is driven on the road, it must be using clear diesel.

I'll second that!

If all he has is sh__ for brains! he'll likely cause you much unwanted, or unneeded trouble!

Just ignor him.
