Radio Shack. You've got questions, we've got ridiculous markup. A 4 foot network cable costs TWENTY DOLLARS! Things like cell phone batteries are marked up 10x what they pay to get them. I'm surprised they haven't been charged for extortion or something.

The only absurd thing I can think of right now is the price of gas around the area I live. I live in eastern ontario, and gas just hit 95 cents per litre. I estimate that it will hit 1 dollar by next week.

$15.00 for 1 can is crazy. My dad buys 3 cans for 10 dollars here! Thats like $3.33 per can.

Gas is almost up to $2.50 per gallon..I don't like it..no me gusta..I wish that it'll go back down like it was for awhile . I noticed that as you go into the poorer areas it goes up to $2.50 but in this area its like..$2.41

Especially now that I have a car and driving..but thank my kitty that uhh I have Toyota 4 cylinder that doesn't eat up the gas quickly

Radio Shack?

Um, HyperHacker... you do know it's now "The Source by Circuit City" in Canada now, right?

And gas already hit $1 here... so funny to see the signs since they aren't made for more than 3 digits.

SAN FRANCISCO
I WIN THE GAS PRICE BITCHING CONTEST
Unless you live in the middle of nowhere with like one gas station that rips you off to hell.
Things are always overpriced in California. All of my relatives live in Nevada, and when they visit they bitch about all the prices.
When I was a little kid, I went several years with a broken NES. It drove me nuts because I loved the NES so much, I'd even have dreams about my games. After whining to my parents forever, I finally convinced them to get it fixed. Calling up Nintendo's hotline, they recommended me to this local shop that fixes games.
75 bucks to fix.
My dad took me there there, paid or whatever, gave my NES to them to fix, took me back to his car, and just blew his top. He was so furious at me, it was terrible. I had to do a lot of hard chores because of it. Being a kid, I couldn't know that he was a GOD DAMN RETARD. A few years after I went to Funcoland and saw an ad for a NES set and game for $25.
The NES still works fine for me, except for my brother some busting the inside thing. I don't know what he does, but I have to SHOVE a cartridge inside and force it down. It's a pain.

Yeah, but I bet the average American uses way more gasoline than the rest of the world, too.

The vending machines are Nazi now, a 16oz bottle of Coke costs $1.50 here; a can costs $0.85. As if $1.25 was bad enough, hell, I remember when they sold bottles for only $0.75. You can't get anything worth a crap for about a buck unless you drove to a gas station, which most people won't.

I tell you, the world is going to hell when most video games are about sex, stealing cars, and shooting police men - AND they're one of the most popular games around. Let's hope that doesn't happen - oh wait, it did.

Americans bitch about the gas prices because they never used to be this expensive, and everyone thinks oil companies are raising it just because they can.
It's also so expensive because most cars in America nowadays average what, 10 mpg? That makes is so much more expensive.

It's also ridiculous how a ticket for a movie costs $9.50, and they're talking of raising it a couple bucks more. Ugh.

As long as I can go downtown and see a sign next to the book store that says Radio Shack, it's still Radio Shack.

Vending machines are weird. It mostly depends on location. There's a Pepsi down the road that sells cans for 50 cents (but it's always sold out ), and I've seen them as high as $1.50 for a can.

Now what really sucks is payphones that don't give change, but have a change slot and don't say they don't give change. You put 2 bucks in, spend 25 cents on a call, and it just keeps the rest.

Gas price is soon reaching 12 SEK per liter.

That's 1.52114 US dollars per liter. And a gallon is 3,785 liters.

$5,7575149 or $5,76 for the ones who are afraid of numbers... that's how much our gas is per gallon.

Two liters of coke costs $1.90 here, which is alot as you can actually find it for cheaper. But then the nearest store isn't known for cheap prices.

Uhh....Whos layout is stretching the thread?

Bottled water is outragous, and they wonder why people die of heatstroke at parks...I was at Six Flags last year and a bottle of water (Medium size) was 4.99. Thats bull. Im not gonna spend that much frigging money on something that could hydrate me, when I could go on a water ride and get wet for free (not including the price to get into 6F)
