Why do people spend so much money on really stupid things?
Here's a quick list that comes to mind:
Sports apparel. You take a $4 polo shirt, slap a team logo on it, and all of a sudden it's $20. Or how about $100 jerseys? Authenticated? Even more! I guess those athletes with the million dollar salaries have to be paid somehow.
Don't get me started about the shoes that seem to get uglier each year.
Gas. They jack up the price because they know you're going to pay anyway. No one's gonna trade in their SUV for a bus pass.
Women. She's gonna decide on her own if she wants to sleep with you or not, and no amount of money you blow on a date is gonna change that. ...Unless she's a prostitute.
College books. What the hell is with the fucking $100-150 dollar books that could be easily replaced by a pdf?
Limited edition. Slap on a LE name, add like something that should only cost like $0.50 to $2 to make and add fucking $50 to the price tag. How many times has a fucking shitty ass t-shirt or a crappy figure added like $20-30 dollars to a dvd? Add in like some extra video footage that was cut from the original because it sucked anyway, and you're taking in the ass with a sand paper condom.
Ipods... what is up with the price of these things? You can get the same damn thing from another brand and easily save a hundred or so bucks!
Electronics. Why do people spend thousands of dollars on the latest gizmos that will be half price in a year?

ReplyDeleteI saved like $150 by buying the Dell version of the iPod.
Y'know what I don't get. I don't get why gas stations that are ACROSS THE STREET have different gas prices? WTF?
