Not a Fan of Receipts

First of all, the BuDaMan isn't a fan of things that can be tracked by "THE Man".  I like to live life on the edge, off the grid, and a minute-to-minute who-knows-what-will-happen-next kind of attitude*.

Second of all, how the fuck are you supposed to retain receipts for up to seven years if these things are probably the most perishable tree-product on the face of the earth?!

Seriously, if you leave a receipt exposed to light, it disappears in about a week.  Leave it in total darkness in your wallet, it disappears in about a week.  The IRS doesn't accept copies, so where does that leave me?  If I ever get audited, I'm fucked.  So are you, because I'll blog about it.

I just don't understand why these documents that are supposed to be so important for some reason are so volatile.  They come from a roll, are printed with a font that was generated with the first computer ever made in the 1960's (I believe it might be Courier or Proxy), and evaporate with a strong wind.  Retarded.  I would rather have my digital receipt from my credit card company.

Next time you get a receipt, look at it, and think about how stupid and worthless it is.

*This is not true at all.  I live life on something that resembles nothing like the edge, and if I lived off any grid I would need one hell of a generator to fuel my flat screen TVs and video game systems.
