Hoarder

Some dude on the train on Thursday claimed he bought 10 blank, 10-ride tickets for Oshawa to Union.

He spent $732.50 to avoid spending an extra $3 on the new 10-ride price of $76.25, up from $73.25. Sure he's saving $30 but how many people are in a position to drop that kind of dough up front? To save $3 a week?

Maybe he'll be eating rice everyday and washing his socks in the toilet but at least he saved $3 a ticket.

    I guess math was't his best subject in school.

    Or maybe he doesn't live paycheque to paycheque.
