@Anaamika

It’s the sarcasm that gets me. It could have been like this:

Poster 1: Why don’t you get the I-Pass?
Broomstick: Well, I just really can’t afford $30 right now!

Instead, she goes on this sarcastic rant about how that’s her grocery money and how we should all know that, apparently!

But she will never come into this thread.

This.

And more than sarcasm, it’s to the point where she’s acting insulted. “How DARE you suggest I spend $30 on something! That’s ¼ of our grocery money… do you want one of us to STARVE?!”

That’s an actual paraphrase of what she said in that thread:

@Broomstick

And $30 is about what I spend on groceries in week per person, so I suppose I can just give up 1/4 of my food for a month to pay for it, right? Or maybe ask the other half of the household to give up eating one day in four for a month? …
