We were on a well-traveled stretch of highway, but it was somewhat remote. He said he had run out of gas, so I volunteered to take him to the closest service station. Turns out, the place didn't sell gas cans, so he went person to person in the parking lot to see if he could borrow one or buy one from someone. At the same time, another guy walked up- he, too, had run out of gas and was trying to find a can to buy or a loaner, and the two guys sat there and started a bidding war over one random traveler's gas can. O_oIs that normal? Don't most service stations sell gas cans? Or should we all be carrying them with us just in case? less

Who in good conscience could bring up these scams in meetings with your fellow executives? Or what about credit card companies that offer worthless perks like free "nights" in hotels that do not really mean you get to stay in a hotel for one night free? Wouldn't you be ashamed to come up with ways to cheat the public out of their money dishonestly? Aren't they ashamed of themselves? What kind of a crazy world is this? less
