Low-income-but-financially-solvent dude, speaking to an amused gal whose car he's changing da oil in, and letting each bottle of oil drain into da engine's filler-neck for ten minutes before tossing da bottle in da trash can: "Yeah, yeah, yeah --- obsessive compulsive... but you know how I hate to waste anything, plus of course, YOU'RE da one who's paying all da costs of this oil-change, so naturally I wanna be all da more conservative and efficient wif salvaging all of da $3.99-per-quart oil dat I can!"
