I have papers around everywhere. Not just my newspapers and magazines; I have coupons that I put all over the place as well. I get those Val-Pak envelopes in the mail, I sort through them for the ones I think I'll use at a later time, and put them aside ... never to use them.
There is this one page I tore off from a circular a while back. It's on my nightstand under my box of tissues. The side showing has sale prices for gutter roofs and deck sealing services. I knew that the other side had the coupon I wanted to use. I just didn't remember, and I was too lazy to turn it over. Till yesterday.
When I finally climbed over my bed, exerted enough energy to pick up the tissue box and turn the flyer over, I saw they were coupons for dry cleaning ... and I had stuff drycleaned about three weeks ago. My laziness assured me that I would be paying more than I should have, because these were coupons for 25 and 30%.
These are the times where I hate myself, but it goes without saying.
