\"That\'s an absurd amount of money to pay fo XXX\"
 

All,

Just a general comment. This comes up a lot in threads about:

cars
watches
restaurants
alcohol
sporting events
concerts
electronics

and tons of other stuff.

Here's my advice. If you think the absolute dollar amount someone is paying for something is ludicrous, just ignore the post/thread and move on.

I personally don't care enough about watches and cars to spend a ton of money on them. On the other hand, I spend a ton of money on restaurants, alcohol, and concerts. This could be completely reversed for someone else. So, it's pretty useless for either of us to comment on the amount spent by each other on these items, since our perceived utility of money spent on these things is just totally different for personal preference reasons.

Regarding opinions on such things, I think they usually only add to the discussion if they are in terms of relative comparisons as opposed to absolute ones.

"Spending $200 on dinner is absurd" doesn't add any value. "Spending $200 on dinner at xxx is absurd when you can get a better dinner for $150 at xxx" does.

Carry on.

You come off as a person even a pedophile would look down upon. Stick your teepee up your ass, your dad is filming. Quick though, Walmart won't let you borrow the camcorder forever.

I saw all the Xs and thought at first that this thread might be about me.

The Jack Daniels ribs at TGI Fridays. They are pretty good, but not $16 good. You are better off getting that badass steak in the picture on their menu for $12. Not $12 good either and a smaller proportion but a little better bang for the buck imo.

Also drinks are quite the rip off in NYC. I was at Marquee the other night for a john mccain fundraiser and afterwards I went to a bar a few blocks away. Me and my buddy were drinking Kettle One & cranberry juice and it was 18.50 a round WTF!
