The savings are nearly never worth the time it takes me to go get the food.

The rice is though

I made them drive me my rice over separately

When the seller of a home leaves mold and hair in a almost new pretty expensive fridge.

Low temps at night = dry air, but there's no need to turn on the furnace, so the air in the house remains dry. Nose boogers are back!

People like this guy. Takes up two pumps, uses one to fill up his truck, and 9 jerry cans, then... INSTEAD OF MOVING UP, uses the back one to fill his boat. From the time I was there, he paid 9 times. of course, when you're stuck in a line at costco, you can't leave.
I hope he hits a pier and his boat explodes, taking out him and his entire family.

People who join the Costco line up behind a boat then complain that the boat owner didn't fill up correctly.

People who choose to line up for fuel at Costco and complain about the time they are in the lineup.

[killramos]

People who line up for fuel at Costco have a similar problem to people who think having food delivered is too expensive.

Their time isn’t worth nearly enough to them.

It's funny which time wasting activities an individual engages in. Lining up for gas for coffee drives me insane, but I have no issue driving for takeout food. I'm sure there's a lot of inconsistencies in all of our behaviours.

Changing my own oil is another one that I can talk myself into or out of. Kills easily 2 hours between buying supplies and taking waste to recycling centre.

No no no, don't turn it around lol. I called Pete the Plumber and they are so far very decent to deal with. Going with them for now, but appointment is pretty far out. Oh well.

The unit has a shut-off, just not at the sink.

I'm not holding anyone to a phone quote at all. But the fact some are not willing to even provide a range on a standard kitchen faucet install is asinine. I wanted to slap the bitch who answered the phone at Mr. Mike's.

Still an easy install.

Shut off the water to the unit
Drain the water lines at the facet
Cut in 2 shark bite style shut off ball valves with a utility knife
( https://www.sharkbite.com/products/b...-straight-stop )
Swap the facet as mentioned already
Turn the water back on

I got pizza & wings on the weekend from the place that I usually choose delivery. It was $39.90 because I oddly chose to pick it up. It would've been $49 with delivery because that's an extra $4+tax and then a tip of $4.90 to round it up. So I "saved" $9.10 for a drive of less than 5km.
I'm lucky enough to make more than that per hour, but it's not like I missed chargeable time to get off my pussy and collect the food. I still value my time at home but it's not like I was missing out on "baby's first steps" or had to get up and go half way through a blowjob. I was doing fuck all.
That $9.10 isn't much, but it does represent a 23% premium on food and that's too much to tolerate when Justin has already increased the cost of food so much in such a short time.
If my day was scheduled out in 15 min increments and picking up that food caused me stress or made me miss something, then I'll pay that premium, but I think that's more rare than people think.

I'll pay you $9 to bring me my food.

You guys order food while sober??

[Disoblige]

To be honest, I only use those platforms when I get those 30-50% off promo codes

My favorite is the DoorDash ones where you get 50% off, up to a $30 order. And I'll go pick it up if they have that option.

I was thinking of this today on my drive in to work. I am quick to LOL at the idiots waiting for coffee @ Tim Hortons or Starbucks every morning/weekend as I cruise by with my home made stuff in my cup. I am due for oil change now. I need a filter. I need to go to dealership to get OEM one. That will take me a good 30 mins. Then lift car. Then drain. Then make a mess. Then pour the fucking oil back into container for recycling. Make more mess there. Then go take the oil to recycling place which will be another 20 mins round trip minimum. But you know I am winning because at least I get the exact oil I want, the filter put on properly (not over tightened), drain plug not over torqued, and the job is cleaned up nicely.

What's his new car?

[Buster]

"Car" might be a generous characterization.

I’ll let him admit his shame
