You know, since life is short and we are going to die, we should value moments instead of time itself or money or whatever. Yeah your lawyer lost 160$. But MAYBE he just needed a day off away from collegues, wife and family, just to recharge.

He lost 160$ but he saved 40$, he spent a nice slow day thinking and cleaning his car and he saved the countless money he would have lost if he just kept working untill going burnout, having a heart issue and spending a week in the hospital.

Life is not just math algebra about money.
