You see gas for $3.00 a gallon and you think you will save 2 cents a gallon if you go across town to get it. However, it costs over $1.50 of gas to go get it. The nit tax is double what you wanted to save.
You try to book a car rental for cheap, you find the cheapest deal for the day. You wait because you know you can find a $20 off coupon. Then, you book the next day, but have to pay $100 more because it is now too close to the day you want your car. Your nit tax is now $100.

Get the nit tax mug.A price you pay for being in a relationship. If your partner wants to do something stupid and/or boring, often times you get suckered into participating for fear of being called not being a supportive partner or cold or a bitch or an asshole or something else lame.
Dude #1:
Wearing that sweater your Mother-In-Law made that your wife thinks "adorable" but made that Leather Daddy downtown "give you the eye", you look like total fagbait in it.
Dude #2:
My wife likes it when I wear it and this morning she said: "Why don't you ever wear that sweater my Mother made for you? She spent hours making it, she spent hours making it, you could at least wear it! Besides, you look adorable in it." I basically wasn't going to get laid tonight if I didn't wear it, it's the relationship tax.

Get the wage tax mug.The "butter tax," is an England tradition that dates to 1942 or slightly before, wherein it is considered a polite practice or fairly common place to take (without asking) a small knob of butter, when you visit someone else's house in the Cheshire region of the UK. The practice stems from the mid second world war days, when if you visited or met up with a neighbour/friend it would be common practice to steal a personal amount of butter to use for your own means.
P1: "When you visited Elsa in Malpas, did you implement the butter tax?"
P2: " Yeah man, I took a decent 1/8oz of it. She had margarine too, but fuck that."
