Trying to screw you without a kiss. Good for you, Lia. My car repair
place wanted to charge me for some hazardous waste or material disposal
charge for something once. Maybe $4. I questioned it because whatever
they did didn't require disposal of anything and I didn't figure I
should be charged for it. They didn't charge me.
