I used to think that Gas Stations would make you pay for paper towels to dry your hands and the Condom machines where their dispensers. I told my Dad in disbelief. I thought; "How could the Gas Station owners be so cheap." After he finally figured out what I was talking about, he laughed and that spawned "The Talk". Now I know, Paper Towels are expensive and Gas Station owners don't make a lot of money. :)
