My priorities not in order? Strippers to blame?

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life
Yesterday the average pump price of gas in my neck of the woods was $3.79. Today, most stations jumped to $4.16 per gallon. On my way home from work I passed a Kroger Fuel Center and they still were selling gas at the old price. Cars were lined up like little girls trying to buy a ticket to a Justin Bieber concert.
I drove on by. I don't care about saving six or seven dollars if I have to wait 30 to 40 minutes for my turn. Has throwing away cash at strip clubs fucked up my economic sense. Afterall, I'll pay twenty bucks for a three minute dance or $300 for a VIP session and not give it a second thought. I'm not Farmerart wealthy, but I pay my bills.
Should I have felt guilty about by driving on by?

If your gas tank was running on fumes, then that was an immediate priority NOT the spending of money on sexual interactions with Dancers &/or other women.
Now when you are sitting in a Strip Club with a fabulous looking & very well built woman on your lap & your cock is hardening, well your priority is HER since you felt you had enough gas in your tank to get to the Club & hopefully home.
Money spent on either item is balanced in our minds by Cost vs Need!
Unless I'm really desperate for gas, I do not wait ever. If I can pull right in, cool. Otherwise I try the next day.
When I eat out with friends and they see the tab and go, "This place is kind of expensive." I think, "What? THIS is expensive?"
It's also DESTROYED my tipping sensibilities. I will usually tip 30-50% anywhere I go (Working in the food industry all throughout college also helps push that).
I'll go places with you & let you take care of my tipping! LOL
Another balancing act of priorities:
Strip Club Sex vs shelter & food on the table.
Art I may well have missed any mention of your age, but I am presuming you're a Depression era or WW2 era baby. If so, that explains the penny behavior to me. ;) :)

A lot of people don't do the math and don't realize driving several extra miles to save a penny or two on the gas price actually can cost a lot more money. If your car averages 17 miles per gallon and you drove 10 miles round trip to save 3 cents, you used .588 gallons of gas to get to the station which cost you .588 times your local gas price or say in my case $3.58*.588 or $2.11.
If you saved 3 cents and bought 20 gallons that amounts to 60 cents savings in gas prices. So the idiot who drove 10 miles round trip lost 2.11-.60 or $1.51 thinking they were saving money.
I guess depreciation and maintenance costs might only be maybe $.21 per mile.
