I mean it’s one car, Alec. What could it cost? Ten dollars?

Big deal… This watch also costs more than my car.
My car was a present, any watch costs more than my car
A new London bus costs around £300k, so whilst is plausible that the watch cost more than my ‘car’, it’s a pretty stupid way of spending that amount of money…
Do have some other investmentadvice I shouldn’t heed?
Do you say shit like that because nobody can tell the difference between your watch and a cheap one?
Does your watch get good milage?
“Does it keep better time than my 15 dollar digital Casio? Is it sturdier? Will it last longer? Is it more comfortable? No? So you spent a ridiculous amount of money to buy a less functional watch made out of precious essential materials just to try to impress people like me?”
Honestly though, if you want to piss watch people off, just say “Oh, it looks just like a regular watch, thanks for pointing it out”.
“Oh, I thought you bought a cheap knockoff like anyone who can handle money. Looks just like one.”
Great! Does it help you with not shooting people as well?
hes just have a itchy trigger finger.
You spend this much money for a watch that can’t even turn a deer into roadkill? Your loss.
“Oh, you could only afford one watch?”
“Good for you. Have a cookie. My $20 Casio tells the time just as well.”
Probably more accurate. It wasn’t called the Quartz Apocalypse for nothing.
“Okay?”
I am not a friend of clever comebacks. People who point these things out are pathetic and people who get triggered by that only slightly less so.
“Hey what time is it? Im suppose to meet up with some friends later.”
You gotta understand this proving your worth by buying ridiculously expensive shit and then bringing attention to it is an attitude of “new money”
Rich people who have been rich for generations will have the same time piece but they will not even think about it. It’s granted to them, part of their life that they would never question. Like you putting on socks.
And that is the attitude that new money cannot understand. Hell that’s kind of what the great gatsby is about, new money just not getting that the expensive shit is just more furniture.
So the most frustrating thing to this mindset is to treat it as no big deal, or even weird that they would bring it up which really it is
