Fast or Slow?

Me: Hi, I'd like to buy IDR 100,000 worth of gas, please.
Attendant: Sure. Would you like it fast or slow?
Me: Hah? What's the difference?

Me: But the volume is the same?
Attendant: Yup. No difference whatsoever. Just fast or slow.
Me: Fast, please.

I cannot believe this is an issue.

Lifehacker shows up with an article titled " How to Be an Effective Liar ". One comment cracks me up.. When I was a kid, I learned pretty quickly that the best way to lie is to tell the truth, but embellish it so much that it won't be believed.   "Did you have a party while your mother and I were gone?"   "Oh yeah! You missed out. It started out fairly small, but by the end, E! News showed up and the Goodyear blimp did a couple of flyovers. Luckily, Martha Stewart got the ankle tracker off, so she came out and helped us clean up afterwards. I'll make sure we take pictures next time." Hahaha.. ^_^
