PLFXpert 0 #1 October 3, 2007 Why is it I buy things all the time and the receipt will be for X dollars and some change, but when I go to fill my gas tank I always strive for the even dollar? I'm not the only one, either. Ya'll know you do, too. What the hell difference does it make? Why don't I just stop when it tells me to? No! No fucking way! I MUST get a few more drops in there to make it an even dollar. And doesn't it suck when you're going up one penny at a time and then just when you hit the .99 it goes two pennies? So after all the effort, you're still left with a dollar amount with change. It's so silly. I'm going to rebel. No more of this madness, I say. What has occurred to you, lately? Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kbordson 8 #11 October 4, 2007 I used to, when I would pay with cash. But now... I hate going into the gas station building. I just use my card, stay out by my car, fill it up, and then poof... gone. (and generally... I top it off. Make it finish twice... or more... It's always good to *finish* twice.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLFXpert 0 #18 October 4, 2007 Cash is dirty & it smells funny. I prefer the smell of my office when I pay my credit card, in full, online. As noted in my OP, I conceded it is in fact silly. I will probably keep doing it, though. I enjoy life's little successes. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
