Just My Luck

Yesterday morning, I pulled into my neighborhood BP, noting that gas was $3.859 per gallon.  (What's up with that 9/10ths thing anyway??  Does 3.859 really sound so much cheaper than 3.86?  I mean seriously...). 

I chose my pump, went through the whole debit card swipe thingy and then remembered that this is their one pump that doesn't work with debit.  So...I hopped in my car and pulled around to the other side of the building to start over.  As I got out of the car, I glanced up and saw that the sign had changed to: "$4.099"!!!!  ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!!  In the 30 seconds it took me to switch pumps, gas increased by TWENTY FOUR CENTS PER GALLON!?!?  

Oi-vay.
