Paying the stupidity tax

Posted Monday, May 19th, 2003 11:09 pm GMT -8 by Alderete

Rochelle and I have a thing we call the “stupidity tax.” It’s where you pay more money than you should, for a really dumb reason. My most common stupidity tax is forgetting to send in rebate forms.

Last week I paid the stupidity tax three times:

  • Paid my car registration three days too late ($12)
  • Waited until too close to our vacation to order from Amazon.com, and had to pay for expedited shipping ($13)
  • Let Rochelle go to the MADE IN FRANCE open warehouse and moving sale unsupervised ($300)

At least I get to eat the cheese from the last one.
