There Ought To Be A Law...

There really should be a law against having to go to the dentist and need to fill your gas tank on the same day. That was my Thursday...straight from the dentist to the gas pump. Talk about taking it from both ends! $44.25 to fill my tank! Bring me the head of Exxon's CEO!

On a funnier note, I just had the funniest experience in a drive thru in a while today. I went through the Starbucks (mmmm...coffee) drive thru today, and when I paid for my coffee, the cheerful clerk looked at me and said that I could make my Caramel Macchiato at home! All I needed to do was buy this spiffy $1000 coffee machine! That's one hell of an upsell in the drive thru. Shit, when I was working one, we just tried to get people to buy a 50 cent apple pie, not a $1000 coffee machine!

But, it is on sale, after all, it's usually $1200...hell, I should buy two...

For starters, you suck. In fact, anyone who can drink nummy Starbucks coffee while I have an ulcer and can't sucks. Grumble.

And while gas prices have been the cause of some rather colorful words coming out of my mouth lately, I'd suggest asking for a cheaper alternative to gasoline rather than anyone's head. High gas prices make alternative energy source development more fiscally viable and an alternative energy source making it to development makes you able to say "Not feeling so smart about $2.50 a gallon now are ya, ya jackasses?"

In any case, you're a Democrat. Get your green on.

I would get my green on, but, so far, E85 is just as expensive and provides worse mileage than regular, so that's out. I couldn't even order the hybrid version of my pickup, so that's strike 2....

well, ren, if you didn't insist on driving a vehicle that is more than you require anyway...coffee is cheaper and better at home, and you can spend $1200 on that delicious civet crap coffee...and by the way, would you like that order supersized, ma'am?

I am a homeowner, therefore I require a pickup truck.

stimp said...

you have one husband, one nearly adult child, and two dogs. you are a homeowner, so am I, more or less. if I remember correctly, however, you still live in the city. what do you need a pickup to haul, Cottonelle from Sam's club?

Oh, I don't know, how about, cabinetry purchased from Ikea, oversized home improvement items from Lowe's & Home Depot, an entire bed-full of boxes to go to the local mission & Goodwill after my mother-in-law's garage sale... Need I go on?

nope, I get it...no more arguments from me...
