There is no way I'm leaving my house today...

Its tax free weekend in my state. Our sales tax rate is 6.25% (although, most companies bump it up to 7% because they are idiots) and we usually have one weekend every August where they offer things tax-free (up to a certain amount, of course).

After watching the news briefly, there have already been stampedes, fights, riots, and whatnot happening at every store.

People never cease to amaze me with how ridiculous they could be...

 

I really wish I could say the same,,, find some amazement or surprise in that lil tidbit or something,,, :coffee:

 

Yes I take that back...we do have some amazement around here - like the guy who recently made the front page of the local paper for streaking down Main St then jerking off in some woman's window...not very shocked by that, but definitely amazed that these are the people in my town!

 

That's madness, we have just had riots and looting in London, scary stuff, some people just dont care anymore.

 

Any day I can stay home on the hilltop is a sucessful day. I've been needing to get groceries for the last 3-4 days but I don't want to drive into town and even see people let alone have to interact with them. Guess I'm gonna rename my place as a hermitage. Quiet, peaceful and secluded, I'm lucky to have it this good.

One of the two local grocery stores in the town has a senior discount day, 10% off every thursday or something. I've accidently gone there before not realizing what day it was!!! OMG every bluehaired, oxygen tank totin, electric cart riding cretin from hell are jammed in the aisles. Two old fatties will meet in an aisle and sit there and talk. You can't get past. You gotta go around and get your stuff from the other end. They got 2 clerks checking people out and 6 empty checkout lanes with no help available. I need more drugs, this reality shit bites goat dick.

We have those days here. I, of course, decided to do my grocery shopping that day this week. I almost ran them down with my cart! Then, as I'm leaving, some 205 year old itty-bitty woman screams from behind my truck that I'm too close to her. I couldn't see her over my giant tailgate and she flipped me off. I couldn't believe this 7 million year old person flipped me off and slowly proceeded to hobble away from my truck.

I shoulda run her over...

 

And I Thought I Had My Occasional "Grumpy Days"....



Cheers Glen.

 

Next week is tax-free weekend here. I go grocery shopping every Saturday. Whoooo! lol, I really am kind of excited, though, I've braved tax-free weekend every year and they have the best sales AND I get paid next Friday! Whooooo!

 

I do not go shopping on Welfare days. I have a card with the dates they receive. Really I just wait for the snaps to sell me them.. Fuck, I have a 100 dollar walmart gift card I got the other day for 20bucks. I hate walmart but I do love the deals I get from crackheads and the desperate.

 

I've never hears of tax free days. Craziness. I guess it's pretty crazy tax is charged on groceries.

 

Go in there and get your tax-free shit, Rambo style.

 

"Give me school supplies or I'll blow your brains out! And boys' jeans for 50% off!"

 

Neener-neener--we have no sales tax. If it sells for 1.95--that's what you pay.

 

What a strange and wonderful world Scratch...is it a time warp kinda thing and they just haven't got to you guys yet or do they have some other way to screw you?

 

Oh,I'm sure they have other ways. ---How's the jungle treatin' you these days? Lived in the jungle on the Big Island---loved it.

 

We don't have sales tax on most food or clothes (excluding like belts and shoes and shit) I'm pretty sure...

I actually don't know 100%, I've never totally paid attention

 

I don't have to pay state taxes when tax time comes.

 

The tax where I live is 13%...

plus an extra little "fuck you" that was recently introduced on certain items such as gas, food, and clothing.
