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.

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

Why the fuck did you waste that much money on a watch?
Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Does your watch get good milage?

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…

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

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

Holds up wrist sporting a Casio F-91W “Al-Qaida”
Big deal… This watch also costs more than my car.

“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”.

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

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

“Oh, you could only afford one watch?”

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

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

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 9 months ago
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.
Bravo@eviltoast.org 9 months ago
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?

“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.
phantomwise@lemmy.ml 9 months ago
Can your watch play Bad Apple? Can your watch run Doom? Can you install Arch on that watch? … … didn’t think so 😛
fennec@lemm.ee 9 months ago
Damn thats a cheap watch, is it Chinese too?
boolean_sledgehammer@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Sad as fuck that you need expensive set pieces to maintain the facade of your self worth. If I were over here wearing a Timex I’d still be fine with who I was. Would you?
JackbyDev@programming.dev 9 months ago
“Timex?”
roscoe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 months 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 audience to pick up the information from the three conversations that occur at the beginning of the play.

I don’t have a car. I don’t care to respond to such assholes. 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. Instead let’s organize and fight them.

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.
