Poor analogy.
You and a friend washed a car once. You didn't charge anything for it. You, but not your friend, continued washing the car every week, whether it was clean or dirty.
When you went to the owner for payment, he gave you $300 for washing it. You washed it approximately 15 times. Your friend requests 1/16th of the payment.
He also claims that without his help in the first place, this would not have converted into a paid venture for either of you (which is hard to prove), and therefore that initial input was worth more than the 1/16th, and requests an additional % of the share.
- confiscate 11y agoLet's use your analogy. When you went to the owner for payment, he gave you $300 for washing the car. The owner gave you, not your friend. You. The owner only wants to pay you for your efforts, and at not point wanted to pay your friend. Instead of asking the owner for payment, your friend now demands part of your $300, because you are less intimidating to bully around. Your friend also demands a portion of all the money from all other cars you have washed after that time you washed a car together. Because if it wasn't for that first car wash together, he claims you would not have been able to figure out the sales process for washing cars for money. So he is entitled to dividends for eternity.
