Before my Blog today- quick recommendation… go see The Story in Their Eyes. It’s an excellent film! Really, a masterpiece. One of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. It’s still in theaters but will be tough to find. You may have to wait for the DVD. It won Best Foreign Film (Argentina) at the Oscars in 2009.
Ok, today’s Blog is…
Things I Hate to Buy:
Toilet Paper- buying the stuff you use to wipe your butt. Seriously, it’s a necessity but it sucks. How much money in a lifetime do we spend on this stuff? It gives us nothing in return accept the fact, well, we HAVE to use the stuff! It’s not exactly cheap either.
Hangers- with all the clothes we buy and all the clothes we have you’d think we’d have enough hangers to hang stuff. But, no, every once in a while I find myself having to buy these stupid things. If you’re tight with your dry cleaner- I’m not because mine is an Asian lady I can’t understand- then you probably don’t have to purchase hangers. But since I don’t know Asian-lady-broken-English I have to buy hangers myself.
Lemons- I don’t eat lemons. Do you? But sometimes you need them for cooking, or for Tea, or for alcoholic drinks. But really, it sucks buying them. They serve no nutritional value and I often find myself buying 3 too many…which would be 4 lemons.
Paper Towels- see my comments on toilet paper. Got to have paper towels. But really, you don’t. They’re a waste. Even more of a waste, actually, than toilet paper.
Light Bulbs- yes, I know we need them, but again it’s one of those things I hate spending money on. I now buy those Fluorescent Light Bulbs because they last longer, but still, hate buying them.
Detergent- to keep my clothes clean. Whatever.
Toothpaste- to keep my mouth clean. Whatever.
Batteries- to keep me lazy so my TV remote works. What a pain when your remote goes out and you have no batteries. What a downer! Has that ever happened to you? I’d pay 300 bucks on the spot to not have to get off the couch and go to the store.
Dog Food- Can’t they just eat what’s in the fridge? Nope, they need their own food so they don’t have runny poopies.
Garbage Bags- whatever happened to burning our trash? Need em, but hate buying em.
Water- the Earth is 67% water and yet we buy like 6 billions dollars worth of bottled water a year! Not me. My hose works. I don’t buy bottled water. Well, I used to but not anymore. I got tired of buying it. It made no sense to me. The only bottles I buy now are ones with beer in them.
Home Phones- ask my wife about this. Please just ask her. That's a blog in itself.
Ice- yes, frozen water. But sometimes we got to have it so we spend 2 bucks on a 7 pound bag of this stuff. What a rip off!
There’s plenty of other things I don’t like buying but hey, what can you do. That’s life.
What don't you like buying?
Tampons...i know this is gross for you guys, but us gals have to have them! It is sort of like toilet paper, we gotta have them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that comment Daneski.
ReplyDeleteDerek, you should move next door to my parents. We have burned our trash for years and will continue to do so because having a dumpster out in the country is expensive! I hate buying paper towels too, but I use a ton of them.
