Always gotta shake the gas pump when you’re done filling to try to get every last free drip out.

If you pay attention to when the meter starts, you can hear the gas hasn't reached the end of the hose and into your car's gas tank.
So, rightfully that leftover gas in the hose is what you paid for and is yours! lol.

I just shake and let it drip as much as possible until the drip is really slow before putting the hose back.

Went to breakfast with my kid.
The breakfast combo comes with a drink., but none of the drinks are suitable for my kid.
I bought my yeti mug just in case I couldn't finish the second one lol. I ended up drinking both though.

Also to add to this, some restaurants will charge for take out containers when you want to take your leftovers home.

So, I try to bring my own take out containers if I know where we are going to eat cause I know the portions are huge. You can also add that your are helping the environment by reusing containers.

OF COURSE, the take out containers you bring should be take out containers that you have washed and saved from the last time you had take out.

AND that is how you hit a parlay with take out containers.


(LOL)

The way I see it, whatever left over is just going to end up on your car or the ground anyway. Might as well try to get it into your gas tank.

Went to this bar with some friends that had a bunch of mini golf courses inside. When you get to the last hole, the ball falls into a pit which would effectively end the game. When we got there, we have one of the guys catch the balls before they fell in, so we went another round without paying for it.

Attendants don't see you staring over for like 4 rounds?

 

[Mr Dink]

Nope, the golf courses are on the other end of the bar so the employees can’t even see the people playing.

I believe in karma so I try to do the right thing.

I was going to do something similar with an expensive car battery but said nah and ate the cost cuz I was paranoid about getting in an accident as karma

Meat prices are ridiculous. Might have to try it

 

[townbidness]

Might be time to go vegetarian with those prices.

 

[mplsdunk]

Shoot some squirrels like the hillbillies dude.

I used to change the price per lbs when I worked in the meat dept at a grocery store in HS . Would bring home a buncha steaks for next to nothing.

My local Safeway has an actual cop guarding the entrance.

The shoplifting issue these days definitely makes me think that a lot of society really relies on people willfully cooperating with rules. I keep hearing and seeing instances of people just walking out of stores with carts and no repercussions, except for maybe those stories about Target loss prevention going for a shoplifter’s neck after they steal enough to build a case for arrest.
