Window washer Luke, 29, cleans car windscreens because he can't find another job to feed his three children.
He has worked the intersection of Great South Rd and Cavendish Dr "most days" for eight years, but said he did not see someone splash dirty water on a spotlesslyclean hearse this week.
"I have a family to feed," he said. "They say there are a lot of jobs out there but it's not true. If this person wants us to get off the lights, maybe they should offer us a job."
He said he had a girl aged 6, a boy aged 4 and a 10-month-old baby daughter.
He was not on a benefit. "To get on a benefit you have to apply for about 20 jobs. They make it so difficult," he said. "How am I going to feed my kids in the meantime?"
