Things that made you frown today (Political Version)

I'm also electronic. My last check I wrote was to the US Dept of State for passport renewals because they don't accept credit cards at our local post office.

I've written 2 checks in 2 years.

This year I wrote a HOA (I hate HOAs) and a $130 passport check. I'm with you, twice a year give or take depending on circumstances. If I'm having work done on anything, I always ask them if I pay cash do I get a discount and virtually every time I do (because they either want it under the table or don't want to pay card processing fees) and I save a nickel/dime that way. Cash is king baby, especially for big ticket items. Did my roof, put down a new concrete pad, rebuild the deck and painted my house that way and saved a little over 2 grand in all. Small victories.

You just have to have the cash though.

It has very little to do with the processing fee.. and everything to do with getting paid under the table. I'll give 5% discount for cash paying customers because it saves me 25-30% this time a year.

Not that I would ever do that. I learned my lesson in 2019 during the boating accident where I lost every.single.gun. that was registered.

Man there are a lot of guns at the bottom of the ocean. I lost all mine by carelessly leaning them against the stairs and they all fell in. I felt so bad I didn't file an insurance claim, but now I'm thinking maybe I should have.

Totally off topic, but I had a stainless marine 12 gauge that was so beautiful. Freaking piece of art, even the furniture was nice on it.

This rules out Seran.

Where the hell was anyone paying $2.99 for a gallon of OJ back in 2020? Where is anyone paying $4.29 for a gallon of OJ in 2024? WTF? No where, ever, has OJ been that cheap since 1983. I should know, I have seen Trading Places plenty of times before where Randolph and Mortimer are working on cornering the frozen OJ market. OJ has been overpriced ever since.
