Say one morning you are considering weather to take a taxi cab or riding the train to work. Both mediums would cost you about $4, but you have already paid in advance for the train (since you pay a flat fee at the beginning of the month). If the cab ride would take slightly less time than the train ride, and you are mostly concerned with the time it takes you to get to work, you should:
A)take the train since you already paid for it
B)take the cab
C)be indifferent between either modes of transportation
D)find another way to get to work

Since time is the main concern and the cab will take less time, it is the better choice even though it costs the same amount as the train. The fact that you already paid for the train should not be a factor in this decision.
