So much drama for $8

I can't get people who pay thousands, sometimes tens of thousands of dollars for their car lease, country club fees, (rarely used) gym membership, etc. and, while spending a lot of time on TWITTER, refuse to shell out $8 for the service.

Despicable, domain dependent misers!

Reminds me of some of my past co-workers. They would spend tens of thousands on the wedding, vacations, the car lease, and so on but then cheap out on their new laptop purchase. They would save a few hundred dollars and then complain about the muddy colors and the low brightness of the screen. It was so strange to see a person who burned $80,000+ on a wedding day to turn around and then subject himself to a crappy computer for years.
