Expensive Things

Why is it that some things are just Ridiculously priced?

Take car insurance for example…Think about it for a minute. You are paying for something that's not physically there. You pay £*$*£*$ for something that you never actually see. But its not like you get an invisible force field that will magically protect you car from damage. Its not as if you will actually be any safer when you are driving. Also, if you are lucky and a particularly good driver you may never even have any accidents. So you are effectively giving some guy in a suit your money for something you never receive.

Just in case.

Also, it drives me up the wall that you must legally have car insurance…If you get pulled over without it you will get a fine. HOWEVER, when someone slammed into my car a year ago and totaled it, and she didnt have car insurance…Where were the police? Where were the men in suits that I give my money to? I provided the police with her address, her license plate number…and yet somehow she didnt get into trouble. And since my car was old and worth peanuts anyway, the guys in suits said it wasnt worth claiming on it. What is that all about?!

Anyways,

back to expensive things.

So you have car insurance. Then there's wedding rings. I mean MY GOD are they expensive…and let's face it. It's a bit of metal around your finger. It's hardly a big deal.

And how about baby sitters? You pay a stranger money to walk around your home, completely unsupervised…probably rummaging through your stuff as they go. They sit in your favourite chair, while watching TV and occasionally raiding your fridge. Frankly, I think they should be paying YOU for the privelidge.

And whilst we're on the subject of babies…Who the hell prices baby food? Are they crazy? It's just mush in a jar!

These things drive me CRAZY!
