This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

but i didnt use the phone app i used the camera app. /s
Worked at T-Mobile for like 5 years, you really don't know how plausible that kind of statement is.
Former VZW rep here. Not only is it plausible, it's a weekly occurrence.
My favorite was the guy who didn't want to switch to an unlimited calling plan because that plan didn't have free nights and weekends and friends and family calling.
Now I'm not sure if that will sound as stupid as it really was. Does anyone even remember getting billed for phone calls?
Since I don't have more than 10 friends or family that I call, it was more cost effective not to go unlimited.
But both plans were the same price! At least in this guy's situation.
You should have told him "this one has free calla every day of the week"
In my country, most station also come with a keypad just beside this screen, which you can set the exact amount you wanna pump
Which country is that, and where is the fun in that?
Malaysia, and can confirm, we have no fun nor chill
Canada also has that. Equally unfun and unchill.
Thank you for shopping with BP
TIL people don't regularly try for this. I always try to stop it at the dollar cause neurotic that way.
Pssh, that's a rookie game. I always try to stop on a palindrome.
Admit it, you missed 10.00 and are convincing yourself that 10.01 is better.
It started that way, but now it's more like 54.45.
I got married on a palindrom 12/6/21
Better yet 1+2 is 3 and 3 two threes make 6.
I stop at the litre. They donβt give rewards points for partial litres so fuck βem, I only want $19.47 in gas.
In Canada you have to prepay and set the maximum amount of fuel you want, so this is "every time I dont set the max to more than my tank can hold" for me.
What happens if you overpay and can't fill up the full amount?
Our gas pumps dont charge until the pump is stopped. The prepay is a ping on your account that basically reserves the funds after checking you have them, and then it let's you pump, and only withdraws what you use.
I would assume it stops and then you pay after whatever it stopped at
He said you have to prepay tho
The few times I've prepaid cash in the US, you go to the attendant booth/inside the convenience store and they'll give you change.
Duh, good point.
Man that is cheap, I did that maths to get your fuel price to be $1.74 Aud per litre assuming you're American and current exchange rates.
Where I am for petrol it's $2.11 a litre Aud
Or roughly $5.13 USD per gallon.
I think you mixed up the exchange because the USD is stronger than the AUD.
It's cheaper in Australia as depending on the fuel, your $2.11 would be their $1.35 USD
I missed the per gallon on the end.
2.11 for me to buy fuel in Australia with my money. Convert my fuel to gallons and usd it's $5 something per gallon
Still could have don't the maths wrong was just winging it
Oh you're right yes, I wasn't converting it back to gallons!
In Ireland this is $20.74 worth of petrol.
2.943 US gallons is 11.14 litres. At β¬1.75 per litre, thatβs β¬19.50.
Petrol hasnβt been under a euro in decadesβ¦
Where I am in the States, it is about the same as the price you stated. I think this person must be in Kentucky or somewhere in middle-America.
It used to be so easy back when gas was only like 85 cents a gallon.
Holy shit that's cheap, it's about double here
Here in Germany I currently would get 1.297 gallons for $10.
That's also cheap, hence me driving to Germany for fuel. It's 20/30 eurocent higher per liter.
Pfft. Rookie game. Pros stop at 3.000 gallons
Then putting the pump back in the holster jostles it just enough to add a penny.
I love how gallons has three decimals now so it does not look like the price moves faster than the volume so much.
