Why must dumb people always ask this about stuff that they have no interest in buying?

Stop at a gas station to fuel a mildly cool vehicle, and chances are it’s one of the first three questions you get asked about it. In addition to “how fast does it go?”. Bring it up in conversation that you recently bought something cool, and it’s the same.

The only time it is appropriate to ask how much something costs is if:

A) You want to buy it.

AND

B) The person you are talking to is selling it.

That’s it! Otherwise, if you’re that curious, pricing for most things is available on the internet, which you can find on your phone.

People ask me that about me ST more than you would think. I absouletly hate discussing monies especially with people I don’t know.

Buy boring things and no one will ask questions.

I usually don’t mind telling people how much the Willys cost, or really how much any other cars of mine cost.

I love when people ask that when I’m driving a CCC car. My response is always “NO IDEA LOL NOT MINE”

I think we may have just discovered why so many older Porsche owners talk about their portfolios at car meets.

If only it were that easy.

People join internet conversions all the time, asking questions that exist on the internet.

While they are on the internet.

...and I’m talking easy ones, like “What time is the game on tomorrow?” or “Wow, that’s a cool item, how much did it cost?”

While they are on the internet.

People, you on on the internet. Please use the internet while you are on the internet.

“When they ask how much you paid for this, slick talk, tell them haters that you paid a grip.”

I only dislike it because it reminds me how much money I paid.

That was a pretty accommodating squirrel.

You can tell a Finn but you can't tell him much > nermal 04/08/2016 at 11:03

I usually just say “too much”. Or if they are being really persistent/dickish throw out something ridiculous like “one meelion dollars”.

I do have to say that I am curious about the mechanics of stabbing someone with a squirrel. Seriously, how does that work?

I have a silver Toyota. Do you want to talk about dull?

My Siesta sedan is silver, too.

Siesta. I see what you did there.

I did some more research into the matter, and it seems like there are several steps to getting stabbed by a squirrel:

1) Show up late on Christmas Eve in South Carolina.

2) Begin making a sandwich.

3) Tell a woman within reach of a ceramic squirrel that you did not bring beer.
