Who else is entertained or pleased at rising gas prices?

Question

You know, besides oil barons/members of OPEC. Obviously I am not too upset about them. Who else thinks it's just plain funny about people complaining about high prices? To me that's like complaining that the sun goes down every day. I can't be the only one.

Answer 1

Although I work for an oil company, the rising prices hurt me as badly as they do you.  I'm not a multi-millionaire, so I have to watch my budget and pay attention to where my money goes.  I don't really get upset over fuel prices.  There's nothing I can do to control them, so I try to minimize unnecessary driving and keep my car running efficiently.

You're right, it is amusing to hear people moan about fuel prices, then walk out of the building and into their SUV that has been running in the parking lot, because they didn't want to turn off the A/C.  Or they sit in line at the drive through, because they're too lazy to drag the cholesterol-laden carcass into the store.  I have no sympathy and even tear them a new a$$hole when they claim the "greedy" oil companies are s******g them over...
