sometimes you just know youre getting ripped of and you just do it anyway. like when you go to the fair and the kids are begging for a corn dog. now NORMALLY that corn dog is like 99cents but since its the FAIR its $6 for the same thing. what do ya do?? you pony up the $6 for the corndog (begrudgingly) because thats just what you do. and then you call your friends (or post on your blog) about how the kids had a great time at the fair but you ended up paying $6 for a freakin corndog! and thats totally OK to do :) it might hurt the little corndog vendors feelings a bit cuz they spent a whole 10 seconds making the stinkin thing, but it doesnt change the fact that its still a 99cent corndog that you paid out the nose for :) its ok for things to fall short of expectations...(even if the sign said "best corn dog EVER!" lol and even if the sign just said "meh...its a pretty good corndog") and for you as a CONSUMER to feel that somehow you got the short end of the stick (haha) and verbally express that.
and NEXT time we go to the fair...we wont eat the $6 corndog...well eat before we go :)
