  • logic in bizarro world

    [background] I take payments over the phone to add minutes to your cellphone [/background]

    me: and your total including taxes will be XX.XX
    sc: what?! it used to be XX.XX why'd it go up?!
    me: well, the taxes did go up recently in your area sir
    sc: I can't believe they're doing this to me! I work hard I go to church I pay my taxes! blah blah blah

    seriously? your argument that you shouldn't have to pay taxes is...that you pay your taxes? I really don't understand the reasoning behind this but ok. whatever floats your crazy boat

    That seems to be the de facto reply whenever an SC is confronted by outside authority, I used to hear it all the time when I worked for the police and only started hearing it again when I got into towing.....

    Got a parking ticket? BUT I PAY MUH TAXES!

    Got a speeding ticket? I PAY MUH TAXES!

    Road closed for parade/construction/accident? I PAY MUH TAXES!

    I never understood it then, either.

      sorry sir you don't get out of paying taxes until you start paying everyone's taxes, not just your own...

        There's a video on TruTV where an officer pulls over a weaving vehicle and it's an unlicensed kid being taught how to drive by her mother. But kid doesn't have her permit yet. Officer tries to explain that she has to have a license before she can be taught to drive on public roads and the mother argues "But I pay my taxes, I have a right to teach her how to drive on these roads!" She just didn't seem to understand the whole driving permit thing either. Disturbingly enough, she was also teaching the kid to drive in a school zone. Sigh.

          I think that one was linked in Check It Out a while back. Amazing how stupid some people can be.

            So...I guess in her universe, one pays taxes in exchange for not having to follow the law?

              I saw that one! The Mom was being a total bitch and the daughter was trying to calm her down! I can't believe the cop took all of that crap from her.
