The Shopping Mentality

It's that time of the year again.
Nope, not the end of the year, not quite.
It's the year end sale.

Looks like everybody is in a shopping mood.
Not only the females, but the males, too, like to shop.
They, too, like to spend and splurge.

But from my point of view, i think that guys and girls have a different way,
or mentality,
when it comes to shopping.

Take a look at the picture.
It says,
Up to 70% off!



Of course, it is appealing, tempting, and just plain exciting, right?
 When looking at the picture, the females would most probably say,
OMG, it's 70%! So cheap! Let's go and buy!

While their male counterparts would most probably get just as excited, they would, however, think first,
Hmm.. 70%? So how much that's gonna be?

Do you agree with me?

Through my observations and research (ahem),
i have made some conclusions.

I see that women don't really mind about the final price.
To them, the initial price and the number before the % is more important.
For example,

OMG i just bought this shoes, only RM240!!
What?? That's expensive!
The 'before price' was RM800! 70% discount!! Huh!
But still, RM240 is a lot for that kind of shit.
But it's 70%!
Well, i certainly think that's a huge waste.
But it's 70%!

That's the typical female.
For men, however,
it's the final price that matters.

So, how much is this?
It's RM240, sir.
What? RM240?? No way.
But the original price is RM800, sir. 70% off sir!
I don't give a fuck. It's still expensive.

See the difference?
Agree?
Ever been in any of the two situations above?

The conclusion is, men use their brain when it comes to shopping and money.
Women just fucking don't.

(ahhh i can hear a lot of disgruntled readers already)

I Filled Up the Gas for Free

I went out with the girlfy yesterday.
So, as usual, if i'm in the college, i would borrow my friend's Kancil Turbo.

Normally, when you use somebody's car, you would always fill up the oil right?
Of course.
So, i filled up the gas at the Petronas station in Kg. Baru. It was around 5pm, and the after office rush is starting to kick in.

So, i filled up RM10 (cukup la tu) for that time, and gave the akak counter RM50.
The balance was supposed to be RM40, right?

RM50 - RM10 = RM40

But no. She gave me 5 pieces of RM10 instead.
I counted the money in front of her.
She was unaware. Totally.
This means, i'm about to fill up the gas for free.

Then, guilty conscience starts to creep in.


Should i take it?
or 
Should i return it?

Usually, in most cases, i would surely return back the money. It's just RM10 anyway.
But somehow, i really had a hard time in deciding whether to return or not.
Damn.

Then, i slowly turned around, and walked away from the counter.

What the fuck? Why am i doing this?
It's not worth it. Think of all the 'sial' that's surely gonna happen.
Remember Karma? 
What you give you get back. What you take you will lose.
Quick, go and return it!

Somehow, after all that shit came up on my mind,
i couldn't gather enough strength to turn back and return the money.
I went straight to the car, and drove off.
Why oh why?

I am Evil.
I'm sorry.
I never intended it.

If you were in my position, what would you do?


And little that i know, this decision would later haunt me....
Don't forget to come back later and read the continuation of this story..
