Firefighters do nothing and let house burn down because family hadn't paid a fee

[Wingates_Hellsing]

I did not intend to refer to the family, rather to those who are making a stink overall. Imbeciles might describe them better, or artards.

Although, Webster's defines a rube as being "2: A naive or inexperienced person." which was my intended usage anyway.

Although, if you think about it, there's always someone making a stink no matter what you do. All the more reason to factor them out unless they've got something serious to bring to the table.
