Do you say shit like that because nobody can tell the difference between your watch and a cheap one?

[–] RhondaSandTits@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 6 days ago

Holds up wrist sporting a Casio F-91W "Al-Qaida"

Big deal... This watch also costs more than my car.

[–] Padit@feddit.org 17 points 6 days ago

"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.

I guess it's true, money can't buy taste.

Fun fact: Alec Baldwin's character was invented for the movie to provide exposition. The filmmakers didn't trust movie-going audiences to pick up the information from the three conversations that occur at the beginning of the play.

Do have some other investmentadvice I shouldn’t heed?

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 8 points 6 days ago

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...

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

"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".

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

"Oh, I thought you bought a cheap knockoff like anyone who can handle money. Looks just like one."

[–] fennec@lemm.ee 11 points 6 days ago

Damn thats a cheap watch, is it Chinese too?

[–] Boppel@feddit.org 7 points 6 days ago

My car was a present, any watch costs more than my car

[–] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 12 points 6 days ago

"You should have saved up a bit more and bought something less gaudy"

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

"Good for you. Have a cookie. My $20 Casio tells the time just as well."

[–] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Probably more accurate. It wasn’t called the Quartz Apocalypse for nothing.

[–] 96VXb9ktTjFnRi@feddit.nl 10 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I don't have a car

I don't care to respond

I don't mind sounding poor.

Wealth beyond what is good for you is no better than theft I'd say. Buying expensive watches while little children grow up in poverty is nothing to be proud of. If anyone should feel shame it should be that guy. Don't be humiliated by such shameless assholes. And don't try to counter attack, It won't work, they don't share your values, they feel no shame for the things that they do. Instead let's organize and fight them where it hurts. Taxes, taxes, taxes.

So being rich is a fairly new thing to you? What are you gonna do when you get used to it?

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

"Oh, you could only afford one watch?"

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago

Anyone who spends more on a watch than a car has poor money management. Fuck, what a waste. There's no way any watch is worth more than $1000 other than for clout which is stupid.

[–] _lilith@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

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

[–] Bravo@eviltoast.org 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

What's my motivation? Is there a reason why I'm listening to Alec Baldwin brag about his watch? What's stopping me from simply walking away?

[–] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

You need to listen to him because it's a meeting at work, he's higher up than you are, and your job is at risk.

https://youtu.be/bkjfZctGMq8?t=241

The link skips half of the speech, if you have 8 minutes, watch the whole thing.

[–] Bravo@eviltoast.org 2 points 6 days ago (2 children)

If he's higher up than me and my job is at risk and I need the job, wouldn't mouthing off be a bad idea?

[–] plyth@feddit.org 2 points 6 days ago

That's what makes OP's question interesting.

[–] RhondaSandTits@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

True, could get shot in the face

[–] Bravo@eviltoast.org 1 points 4 days ago

Well I meant more along the lines of getting fired, but sure

[–] phantomwise@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Can your watch play Bad Apple?

Can your watch run Doom?

Can you install Arch on that watch?

...

... didn't think so 😛

You paid all that money for a watch that can't do ANY cool stuff? You utter loser 🤣 🤣 🤣

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

"Hey what time is it? Im suppose to meet up with some friends later."

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

I have people who love me.

[–] Darkonion@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

'nice watch!' then move in and quietly say "oh, hey, it looks like your barber missed a spot back there"

[–] WereCat@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Last time I gave a fuck was when I were with your wife

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Does your watch get good milage?

[–] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Great! Does it help you with not shooting people as well?

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

hes just have a itchy trigger finger.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

-"What time is it?"

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago

Barf in his face.

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

[–] sunflowercowboy@feddit.org 2 points 6 days ago

Such frivolous spenditure will rot your money. Decay of your father's fortune and your child's kingdom. Begotten by weak flesh and temptation, coward from strength.

Even the homeless know to not show your power before you speak, or your trades will be levied against you.

[–] Boppel@feddit.org 1 points 6 days ago

You spend this much money for a watch that can't even turn a deer into roadkill? Your loss.
