Gosh. With that attitude, you must be feeling excluded from this or that almost every day of your life. Two people can rent a motel room for the same price as one -- heck, you're paying double for your pillow and towel. Kids fly free--you're paying double. Three people can rent a car for the same price as one -- gosh, you're paying TRIPLE for those miles you drive. Same with taxis -- every time you see a couple getting into a taxi and realize that they're only paying the same rate you would pay for the same ride it must make your blood boil. Senior discounts -- don't even TALK about those.

Of course, you do benefit in other ways, such as cheaper car insurance and lower life insurance rates, so you have inclusions as well as exclusions. And on, and on, and on . . .

I would go nuts if I started thinking that every benefit somebody else gets is a slap in my face excluding me.
