LOL - oh Jo I love you mate. If you come from the tightwad Northeast then I come from tightwad Western Australia. Over the years people have asked me what I paid for things from houses to bicycles and Im still shocked when people do it. Yep I agree freakin' rude.Originally Posted by jobob
You know, maybe it was my tightwad (and tightassed) Northeast upbringing, but I wouldn't dream of just going up to complete strangers and asking the price they paid for something. That is just freakin' rude.
(Now on this forum, that's a different matter.)

10 years ago there was an e-mail going around about "You know you live in [insert city I work in] if . . ." and one of the items was " . . .your bike is worth more than your car". At the time I thought that was ridiculous, but now I totally understand. I haven't checked the blue book lately, but I think I'm almost there. I agree, it's all about priorities. I think it's just silly what some people will spend money on, but that's just my opinion. To each his own.
The best part about going up hills is riding back down!
