I never get the point of bottled water, especially in BC, where the water is as clean as u can get anywhere in the world. Tap water tastes just the same, if not better, than bottled water. Some ppl say it's convenience but how do u get more convenient than grabbing a cup & turn on the tap? I just dun get it.

I bring our own pop and snack to theatre all the time, that's what my gf's bag is for.

As for greeting cards, I spent time using photoshop to design make my own cards. I'm sure whoever receive my card will appreciate a custom made card more than a generic off-the-counter card. The card itself is not important, it's the thought behind it that counts. If u think otherwise, u can suck my dick.

Id have to disagree with you on the tap water taste.. I personally can taste the difference in the water sometimes coming from bottle vs tap.. Not all the time but tap water sometimes has this odd taste to it..

I usually boil my water and bottle it (taste different then when i buy a bottle) but then it saves money and its not like the water taste bad.. it just taste different a bit.

imo boiled water tastes like crap, I like my water cold.

As long as you don't go to any AYCE sushi places, I'll still consider you my friend. :)

cables overpriced

apparently cell service regardless of plan costs 15 dollars including marketing/wages etc.

Drugs.

Apple Products.

if you live in an older house with copper pipes, then i wouldn't drink the water from the faucets.

1. Icbc insurance
2. Parking fees

Most of the items mentioned are luxury items. I am not saying driving is a necessity, but owning a car in Vancouver cost much more compared to other places in Canada

Copper pipes are fine, it's the old solder they used on much older houses that is no good
