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

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 5 points 3 hours 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...

[–] Boppel@feddit.org 3 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] RhondaSandTits@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 4 hours ago

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

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

[–] sfxrlz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 hours ago

Do have some other investmentadvice I shouldn’t heed?

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Does your watch get good milage?

[–] Boppel@feddit.org 1 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 3 hours ago

hes just have a itchy trigger finger.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

-"What time is it?"

[–] phlegmy@sh.itjust.works 14 points 8 hours ago

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

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

"Does is 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".

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

"Oh, you could only afford one watch?"

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 8 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

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

[–] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

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

[–] Padit@feddit.org 15 points 14 hours 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.

[–] _lilith@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours 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

[–] fennec@lemm.ee 11 points 14 hours ago

Damn thats a cheap watch, is it Chinese too?

[–] roscoe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

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.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 61 points 1 day ago (4 children)

All these comments are trying too hard. The only two options are "OK?" and "that watch?"

Verbose disses only work in rap

[–] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 11 points 23 hours ago

Aahhhh winner:

"that watch?"

You are awesome. Now the ball is on their side and covered in two layers of diarrhea

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Alternatively, "And it's a very nice watch." Bonus points for riding the line between nonchalance and condescension while still being a compliment.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Or a Guy Richie film.

"Bleedin 'ell. You've bin 'ad mate. Blonde Tony was selling those daan the Nags 'ed last week for a pony. 5 for a ton."

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

[–] borokov@lemmy.world 22 points 23 hours ago

Why the fuck would I drive a watch ?

[–] acchariya@lemmy.world 15 points 22 hours ago

A shame, such a tasteless choice. If you had as much class as money, you'd have chosen something like a vintage 1960s submariner rather than a frivolous toy available on every high street in the world.

[–] Pnut@lemm.ee 14 points 22 hours ago

If only you had learned to tell time.

[–] 96VXb9ktTjFnRi@feddit.nl 8 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours 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.

[–] AllHailTheSheep@sh.itjust.works 10 points 22 hours ago

"that's cute!"

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 6 points 22 hours ago

"You got ripped off"

[–] owl 7 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

Woow, what does it do?

  • It tells time.

Nothing else? So does my car.

[–] EchoSnail@lemmy.zip 2 points 7 hours ago

And once daylight savings time is done it'll be accurate down to the hour!

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 19 hours ago

Barf in his face.

[–] Darkonion@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago

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

[–] vane@lemmy.world 6 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)
  • Your clock stopped. (Looks at the clock)
  • No it's still working.
  • You are bald on tip of your head I saw it when you were looking at the clock.
[–] Alloi@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago

"and i have a piece of cardboard thats worth more than your watch" whips out a charizard

[–] notarobot@lemm.ee 4 points 22 hours ago

I feel like owning expensive stuff like that is non optional for the very rich. Those who answer things like "my phone already does that" do sound poor. They don't buy it because they need the time. They buy it because it looks nice and is expensive.

I think I would make a disgusted face and say something like "really? It doesn't look like it. What brand is it?"

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What kind of dumbass would spend that much on a watch?

"So?"

That's the response you want. Complete andutter boredom. You don't care. Their entire personality is built around a weird little status structure and if you don't buy into their hallucination they lose their everloving minds
