Nothing is Complimentary

Don't you love when you're out somewhere and someone tries to tell you that something is free? The premise of free sounds good in theory but there are so many holes in this theory that you need to come to the realization that nothing is actually free. For instance, that laptop your college gave you for "free". You're spending at least $40,000 a year to go there, trust me it isn't free.

Whenever there is a fixed price on something and someone tries to tell you that you get something for free with it, that is total bullshit. That free thing is just included in the cost of whatever it is that you're doing. Say you're out on a lovely Valentines Day dinner and a woman comes over to take your picture because it's "complimentary". When it's $45 per person, it's not complimentary hun, who do you think you're fooling?

Your complimentary continental breakfast at your hotel is also not free. It's $150 a night to stay there, do you really think they're not including the cost of breakfast into that? As we can see the original theme here, there are holes in this theory of free. When you stay at a casino, they give you a "free" room because they know they're getting triple that money back on what you're about to gamble away.

Bottom line here is that nothing in life is free. No matter what anyone tells you there is always some type price you are paying for that "complimentary" thing. Even when you have a girlfriend. The sex isn't free either. NOTHING is free. Unless you're a woman, then everything is free.
