Some people have better uses of their time and don't want to be bothered with what is a glorified form of couponing.

I understand that, and respect it, but they were going on about how they spent all this time comparing Cap One to BOA, and how they ultimately made their decision, and all the effort they put into booking, etc.  And they're both retired.

relatives who scream at me I TOLD YOU TO TELL ME EVERY TIME THERE IS A DEAL TO ISRAEL. Then I tell them about all the next 5 deals and it goes something like this.

transaero airline - "You know how dangerous Russia is now?"
ukraine airlines - " did you hear about the plane that blew up?"
Turkish airlines - " are you sure its safe there? did you hear all the anti Semitic things happening there?"
American Airlines, PHL- "Phili? why should i drive there if JFK is closer?"
Delta, JFK - "The dates are in the summer? I have my great nephews 7th birthday party then!"

sigh.

or that every time i open my mouth about anything DD related, my father instantly tunes me out and smiles knowingly and tells my brother, "we'll bail him out of jail when he needs it" or "imagine the newspaper headline- our son arrested"

When family members ask for help,  and don't even bother doing what you tell them to do

Actually what I hear is "I really don't think you'll make it in women's prison. That place is rough."

Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

When I am paying in a store and a friend of mine sees me pay. quickly runs over and literately grabs the card out of my hand and says "aha, I see you know about these things (it was a freedom card). I hear you can make a lot of money. Nu, tell me how".
Me: "I cant just tell you in a minute.
Him: text it to me

I'm a n00b and I hear that all the time. And if I don't find out fast enough I'm the loser

Also (had this on PD) 'can you please buy me this on Amazon? The offer is expired but you know all the tricks... ?
My greatest achievement? I am fluent in FRIENDS quotes

When someone says "Can you get x for me? It's five hundred dollars, so I'll give you fifty and you work it out somehow."

When you don't follow a thread for a week and all of a sudden it has like a gazillion posts. And you are expected to have read every single one of them
