So, I was at Starbucks and overheard a woman complaining about a GALLON of gas costing over $3, while drinking a 12oz-$5 coffee--what's wrong with this picture?

What bugs me sometimes is when I hear people say man gas just went down three cents and I just got gas this morning. I try to make them feel better. Oh you have a 20 gallon tank? So you would have only saved 0.60. It's ok. I think I have a nickel in my pocket to help offset your misfortunes.

I knew a guy who would drive miles out of his way to save a couple of pennies per gallon on gas.  When I pointed out the obvious logic of burning more gas than what he was saving, he would have nothing to do with it.  A penny saved was a penny saved, by God.

Sounds like my wife giving me crap for buying bananas at Publix for 10 cents more a pound rather than driving 16 miles round trip to WalMart. I try to explain to her I'll spend more in gas than the 50 cents I'd save on the bananas.

Unless bananas give you gas, then it breaks even.

That sounds almost exactly how it goes in my house.

Although, on occasion she would be right depending on the amount that she wants to get. I can't stand wal mart so I used that logic to trick her in going to publix instead because I usually go too.

Believe it or not, the bananas are for the dogs. She saw The Dog Whisperer where he used bananas to get the dogs to stop eating poop out of the yard.


It doesn't seem to deter my Golden Retriever. That dog is the poop-eatingest dog I've ever had.

Boy this is going to be a lo-o-o-ong day at work. Especially knowing that my tailgating supplies are just outside, complete with 12-pack of Yuengling on ice.

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!

I'm usually a morning person, get up early regardless of whether I have anything to do that day. Usually if I got to run to the store I'd go around 700-800. However, I only have one thing on my list today. I had my last two beers a few days ago while grilling up some grub and want to pick up some for pregame. At what time do you feel you don't look like a moron buying just beer?

Hell, I used to work Graveyard and hit the bars at 7am

If you ever feel embarrassed by what you are buying, add a cheap birthday card to it and that way it looks like you are buying a gift...which is acceptable at any time of the day! :thumbsup:

I act a bit immature on this board but, out and about I kinda have to be a little more professional. My area can get pretty small despite it's growth over the last 10 years. I run into clients on a very regular basis especially at publix. So I don't want to be seen buying just beer at 1100. It doesn't look good in my opinion. And I have a hankering for grilling something up for a late lunch/dinner.

I've done that before, in a way. Usually I will go in for one thing and then see all kinds of food I just got to burn, plus some sides and they usually sucker me into a spice or marinade. Publix is my nemesis.

Ha, figured it out. I'll get some flowers. The wife like some fresh flowers in the house. Maybe buy some wine for her. That way it looks like it's my anniversary.


Thanks for the help bb4.

Why would you buy us if you're not going to drink us, Rico? We need to be drunk to get you drunk.
