And now, just a night before the gig, me and the wife can't be arsed with traipsing up to London on a week night, spending money on travel, food and drink, to get crushed in a crowded standing-only venue. Too tired, too skint, not passionate enough about the artist. My wife argued that we're wasting the money spent on the tickets, but I expertly (I'm an expert) argued that it would be wasting more money if we went to the concert that we no longer really want to go to. The money spent on the tickets has long gone, spending more to stop the initial money being "wasted" is a fool's errand.

The sunk cost fallacy has been defeated, all hail cold logic!

There's a sandwich shop I used to go to for lunch that has as one of its top sandwich options a B.L.A.T. (Bacon, Lettuce, Avocado, Tomato). Every time I tell them I just want the BLT parts and they give me a look like I've just sexually assaulted them.

Is it that odd that I don't want you ruining my lovely sandwich with strawberry floating avocado?!?

Preezy's wife wanted to go to see Jacob Banks.
Preezy didn't want to go.
Five months ago, his wife nagged him into buying tickets, but he never intended going.
He immediately created this thread in order to provide the arguments to back him up when he told her he didn't want to go.
