Things I don’t understand…

These are things that (to me) save time and money and I don’t understand why people who have the option don’t use them…

Use Mail In Prescriptions
We have a prescription plan at work and it’s a great one. It’s $5 an order of a prescription (generally a month’s worth) but if you mail it in they send you about 3 months worth for $2. $2 vs. $15 and I don’t have to go back to the pharmacy, this isn’t a complicated decision.
Using the ATM Machine
I go to the back, they’ve got two drive through lines backed up and I generally pull right up the the ATM machine (or wait for one person) and get my cash (maybe make a deposit) and go and the same people are still at the back of the line. I’m not sure why all those people are in line, are they getting better cash? Do they really like using the pneumatic tubes that much? It’s pretty much the same issue using the walk up bank vs. walk up ATM, except you don’t get to use the tubes…
Automatic bill payment
Many (most?) utility companies will automatically charge your bill to your checking account, these are generally done the day the bill is due and it’s generally free. Did you get this: you don’t have to use a check, take the time to write it out, use a 39 cent stamp and then mail it (where it’s probably going to get there early or late, not the day it’s due, right?), they’ll just do it automatically for you! My gas, electric, cable and cell phone company will do this. Plus my mortgage, my association fees, car insurance, homeowners insurance and several of my charge cards will do this too (all on the exact day it’s due). This isn’t on-line banking, they just do it (for free). That’s about 8 checks and envelopes a month plus over $3 in stamps.

What do we really understand…?

i know exactly what an IEEE 802.3-compliant CSMA _CD-oriented combination RJ-45 BNC-style 10 100-BaseTX PCI 2.1-spec PnP NIC is used for and what it does, and i don't even know what my own spleen accomplishes for me.I saw this somewhere on-line and thought it was interesting enough to post. It’s so true. I’m sure I can rattle off a few similar things but I still need to look up a birthday, a phone number or something equally as significant. I just thought it was extra interesting since I’m not really sure what the spleen does either… Besides, it made me laugh out loud!

I couldn’t link to the original source since I couldn’t determine where it was. It seemed to be linked a few times, I’ll have to ask Bobby I guess…
