Search Results: gas prices

My sister's boyfriend sold me a car last summer, and I wanted to hear your take on the chaos that ensued.

boyfriend finds an old car that appears to be in good working order. Knowing that I was in need of a vehicle, he offers to sell it to me for a discounted price. He claims that the vehicle was in good shape, and had recently gotten a new engine put in.

I buy the car off of him with a partial payment, with other half coming in a couple weeks.

Immediately after I buy the car, the oil light comes on. Assuming that it was an electrical issue (the light flicked off and on, and the boyfriend said that the oil was dirty and needed to be changed), I continued to the drive the car for another ~100 miles. I know, I know... But I genuinely thought it was an electrical issue. I was about to get the oil change once I got paid.

Well eventually the engine seizes on me (the light was flickering when I would hit the gas, it didn't stay on) , and it turns out that the engine was dry, not a drop of oil in it. We take the car to a mechanic, and the part that failed was the crank shaft chain, which is not a part that typically fails when you drive a car without oil. Basically, it was NOT clear that my actions resulted in the car failing.

As time goes on, and we investigate the car, it turned out that the car was absolutely not what the boyfriend had claimed the car was. It did not have an engine replacement, he over charged me, it leaked oil like no one's business, the list went on and on.

The boyfriend tried to demand that I give him the remainder of the money. Eventually he gave me my money back, broke up with my sister, and resold the car. So what's your opinion?

Should he have given the money back, or did I owe him the remaining balance?

gas price and distance reasons?

Right now, I feel like quitting my current job for another job because it's been costing me too much gas money and time and has been depriving me from my sleep for college courses and their pay system is stupid because we only get paid every 8th and 23rd of the month, which makes it more difficult for me to pay off my bills and debt on time. The worst part is that I've only been working for this job for not even a month yet (I started working for this company/job on August 22nd).

The job is easy and mostly laidback (for most part) and all but one person (a Lead Janitor) who I work with is a little toxic to be with and occasionally vents her personal baggage at me (no personal beef between us or anything, just her having her personal life struggles and just wants to find someone like myself, to vent to). She also gets little @nal whenever I change my schedule or take one day off my shift to get myself more hours of sleep and focus more on school because how there's not enough janitors for her to help get the job done (I have no ill-will towards my co-worker/lead janitor or anything, I just would rather not hear any more of her personal baggage that I've apparently caused her after taking one day off my shift). All of that and on top of it, I constantly end up spending half of each of my paycheck on gas after long ass travels from home to work, thus making it very difficult for me to pay off my debt faster and afford more school supplies for myself.

Then again, if I quit already, it definitely won't look good on myself to employers or it will most likely burn bridges between me and my manager/boss. I don't know what to do. I'm just stressing out so much over my credit card (and my college classes) since it's $80 away from being maxed out and my next paycheck (which is this Saturday, the 23rd, is the same day my cell phone bill comes and hits me, thus going a little over my credit card limit again, after just paying it down recently).

I like telling it so seeing what people think.

This one time on the El Camino, I noticed that fuel prices at the carwash were down. So I pointed and said "Oh, cheap gas!"

But the woman I was driving with spoke mostly Spanish. She insisted I had said "Ooh, chicas!" and she acted all hurt.

It's very simple. Just measure the net time that you have spent together have sex'd and divide it by the money you have directly or indirectly spent for her.

L = 1/(t*(1+m (dt))*n)*100
L... how much she likes you - bigger the score, more she likes you
dt... net time you have spend together in days till you had sex
m... total direct and indirect value in dollars that was spent for a woman in the time span dt (dinner expenses, gas, lost money due to wasted time, the price of your effort... in short however you value your time and effort in dollars)
n... number of meetings

Example 1:
You have met a girl in a bar. 3 hours later you have hooked up in your car. You bought her a drink for 5 dollars.

Lets write down the input data:
t = 3/24
m = 5
n = 1

And plug it in above equitation:
L = 1/(3/24*(1+5)*1)*100= 133



Example 2: You have been with a woman on 3 dates, paid in 100 bucks of dinners and gas, wasted 10hours in total and finally you have sex'd.

t = 10/24
m = 100
n = 3

L = 1/(10/24*(1+100)*3)*100 = 0.79



Example 3: You have been with a woman on 35 dates, spent 1000 bucks, wasted 7days and still no sex:
t = Infinity / 24 = Infinity and not t = 7. Remeber, you haven't sexd!

L = 1 /( Infinity * (1+1000) *35)*100 = 0

... but in case you would have a sex:
L = 1 /( 7 * 1001 *35)*100 = 4.08^10-4 ... which is almost zero. Come on, 1000 bucks and 35 dates.



d) You have been with woman 15min, didn't buy a drink and then you have sex'd.
L = 1/(1/(4*24)*1*1)*100 = 9600



It's that simple. Remember guys, if she likes you, she empties your balls, instead she empties your wallet.
