3 Ways To Combat Rising Petrol Prices
You must have heard funny stories before. They make your day don’t they. Funny pictures have the same effect as well. A picture truly paints an amazing story behind it and fun pics bring lots of entertainment as well.
Well, let me tell you something about how to combat rising petrol prices. Well, it is a funny story so sit back and enjoy.
1. Don’t Drive Your Car
This is as simple as that. DO not drive your car. Who cares if the petrol prices are $1.20 a litre or $2.20?
Of course, I know what you’re going to say. “But Sarah, I have places I need to go-like work. And the kids have school and soccer practice. And then there’s grocery shopping and yoga lessons and dinner at the Williamsons and blah and….” Ok, I get the point. Not everyone can sit around the house writing not-so-funny articles and searching the Internet for Drew Barrymore photos like me. I fully understand that some of you have a life. But just because you don’t drive your own car doesn’t mean you can’t get around.
So how do people do it?
2. Carpool
It’s seems so simple now doesn’t it. Instead of using your gas-Use Someone Else’s! Have someone else pay $2.00 a gallon for gas to take your kids to school. Make someone else dip into their retirement fund just so they can cover the gas bill needed to get you to the office and back every day. Make someone else get a second job so that they can have a full tank of gas in their SUV when your daughter needs to cruise the mall. It is really that simple. Come on, did you never think about that option…at all?
I know the next thing you will say is…”but a carpool means that at some stage, I will need to use my car”. WRONG!!! You know why? Because you will:
a) Never wash and clean your car and it will look awful sitting in the front yard for the world to see.
b) Discuss disgusting things like spouses and bad habits. Bring on the negativity baby!!
c) Play loud and obnoxious music. The more violent lyrics, the better.
d) Display some funny pictures on the side of the car. Something absolutely inappropriate will ensure no one wants to sit in that car with you!
I can assure you, no ONE would want to ride in your car ever again.
3. Ride the Bus/Subway
Many cities have a mass transit system that is an alternative to driving your own vehicle. If you live in a city that doesn’t have one don’t worry-you can always move. Of course, riding public transportation does have a few drawbacks, but these can be easily overcome if you follow these simple guidelines:
(a) No matter what happens never, ever make eye contact with anyone. Making eye contact is invitation for someone to mug you or exchange pleasantries. Avoid that hassle.
(b) No matter what happens never, ever give up your seat to anyone. This is seen as weakness, and will be taken as an invitation to praise you. Who needs false praises!!
(c) No matter how tempted you are never, ever strike up a conversation with the person sitting next or across from you. This is very annoying and then you will be hearing someone’s life history with all the bits and pieces.
(d) Do not take your children on the bus/subway. They will make a mockery of your parenting skills. Be warned. What is worse, than your child wearing a t-shirt with funny pictures on it and everyone on the bus looking and pointing at you!
So, follow these simple steps. Can you go wrong? I think not. Experience speaks. Actually on second thoughts, it would have been nice to show some fun pictures of the above. The fun pics would surely have brought a smile on your face.
Are you bored? Do you want some excitement? Why not view some funny pictures and funny stories to brighten your day. You never know, these funny pics may inspire you to get up and do something exciting.
