Chris, after going well over a full year without an oil change

Merriam-Webster defines negligence as "failure to exercise the care that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in like circumstances". A negligent person frequently finds themselves in trouble caused by their own inability to identify a problem and deal with it properly. Chris is in no short supply of negligence, and it frequently leads to him trolling himself

Chris has a long history of struggles in regards to his vehicles. Chris's first vehicle, the original son-chu, went through horror as it was revealed in October of 2010 that he went well over a year without changing the oil. Unsurprisingly, the original Son-Chu didn't make it much longer. Fast forwarding to July 2018, it became clear that Chris failed to learn his lesson. In a begging video, Chris reveals that his 2010 Ford Focus was heating up and wouldn't start. Despite fans sending him money to get the car fixed, it was revealed that the car died in November of 2018. It was reported by The Captain that the car's engine was permanently broken. Being that the car had only 110,000 miles on it, it's most likely that neglect was the cause of the car's failure.

Since 2014, Chris has taken to eBay as a means to supplement his tugboat. Capitalizing on his internet legacy, Chris began producing Sonichu Medallions, custom Amiibo, commissions, autographed photos, family heirlooms, Relics of Fail, among other things. Almost as soon as Chris started ramping up his eBay presence, buyers started complaining. On eBay, feedback is incredibly important. Anything short of 99% positive feedback is considered very poor, and if enough complaints are levied against a seller eBay will take action. Chris has struggled to maintain an 85% feedback. Many buyers complained that Chris was taking too long to ship items, items coming in broken due to faulty packaging, or outright not receiving purchased items all together. One buyer even reported being sent "an empty envelope" after purchasing a bootleg Pokemon game from Chris in March of 2018.

These complaints levied against Chris frequently caused his PayPal to become frozen, preventing him from pulling funds out. This enraged Chris, and ended up in him getting into scuffles with various buyers. In the Mr. Smith incident, a buyer opened up a dispute after Chris failed to make and ship a Sonichu Medallion and commission within the specified two-week period., resulting in Chris' PayPal getting frozen. In response, Chris doxxed the buyer on his Facebook. Chris then proceeded to send an art of an exasperated Sonichu along with an angry-eyed Sonichu medallion. The buyer, refusing to life the dispute until Chris sent the item described in the listing, eventually received a proper Sonichu medallion along with a full refund from eBay.
