"Most of the people I know who whine the loudest about gas and food prices are the same ones who have no savings, payments on a flat-screen TV and a dozen other things, and who dine out or pick up fast food three or four times a week, burning through both food money and gas money... *sigh*... But they don't see it that way." Not always
My best ones...
"How will I ever buy work clothes if I quit working" (What?)
"He really likes working two jobs, besides it gives me time to unwind" (rum and coke in hand)
"You can't take it when your gone right?" (Wrong, your kids can)
My all time favourite, we were going to the pharmacy to get meds but my friend just HAD to stop at this flea market thing and buy a bunch of crap. I was a broke 15 year old so, I didn't care. When we get to the pharmacy her medicine is way more expensive than she thought and says "I can't afford that! It's too expensive." Then on her way out buys a pack of cigarettes. !!! (Has bronchitics)
My mom, "I can't afford health food" While eating Doritos and Mountain Dew!
Dad, "I can't get you school clothes," two weeks later dad walks in with a new Sony and games, "Hey wanna play some games?"
Yeah I went to foster care.
