Where to start.
1. I don't charge my personal phone at work. Nor do I use my phone at work. While at work, I work.
2. Do you think the hospital owes you something because they pay you little? You chose to be a doc. Want to make more? Choose another living.
3. A lot of folk have chosen to go green and they choose to pay to do so. Ever notice that the hybrid is more expensive then the gas vehicle? Yet people buy them for a laundry list of reasons, and they pay to do so.
3.5 Yes, a lot of employers are giving benefits to those who are going green. Might be nice if they knew they were also subsidizing the costs.
4. Yes, I think Toshi should pay for his own internet connection.
5. Yes, the whole idea of borrowing without asking bothers me.
When I go on a road trip, I pay for my part of the gas. In turn, if we take my truck, you're paying your share of the gas, or I am leaving your ass at the next exit. What happened to the ethic of paying your way, of contributing so that someone else doesn't have to pick up your slack.
Personal transport, internet, cell phones, the juice to run them on: all of these things are not "essentials" in the hunter/gatherer sense of the term. I understand that walking sucks, but redo your spending so that you can afford them. Having a nice bike, a nice computer, a camera; none of these things are yours by default. You chose a life that for the next few years doesn't pay for dick, but that does not mean that those around you are responsible to subsidize you.
If you want things, you pay for them.
