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

[–] roscoe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 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.

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.

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?

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 hours ago

Barf in his face.

[–] Pnut@lemm.ee 12 points 7 hours ago

If only you had learned to tell time.

[–] acchariya@lemmy.world 11 points 6 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.

[–] borokov@lemmy.world 20 points 7 hours ago

Why the fuck would I drive a watch ?

"that's cute!"

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

"You got ripped off"

[–] Darkonion@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 50 points 11 hours 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 9 points 8 hours ago

Aahhhh winner:

"that watch?"

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

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."

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 10 points 11 hours ago

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

Woow, what does it do?

  • It tells time.

Nothing else? So does my car.

[–] sunflowercowboy@feddit.org 2 points 6 hours 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.

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

I have people who love me.

  • 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.
[–] Phegan@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

"good for you, little guy"

[–] notarobot@lemm.ee 3 points 7 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?"

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

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

[–] accretion@lemm.ee 4 points 8 hours ago

You still use a watch?

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago
[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 7 hours ago

Just smile non-genuinely and say "Sure."

[–] oppy1984@lemm.ee 2 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

So you could have donated that money to a food bank or homeless shelter and gotten a tax break. Or you could have just kept it and invested in dividend paying stock, but instead you spent it on a watch that tells you the same time as my $20 watch?

[–] basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 7 hours ago

I can read digital clocks faster.

[–] Silic0n_Alph4@lemmy.world 12 points 12 hours ago

“Your watch cost more than £100?”

[–] MangioneDontMiss@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

seems like a giant waste of money when you have phone that has the time on it.

[–] BearGun@ttrpg.network 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Not gonna argue that it's not a waste of money to get a watch that expensive, but just having a watch is quite nice. Not having to fish my phone out of my pocket and click the power button every time i want to check the time is something i appreciate.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

That's why you have a personal assistant follow you around!

[–] mastod0n@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Either dishonest affirmation or "That's nice, buddy" and touch his shoulder.

With people you might need later it's the first option, the second if you want to piss off narcissists.

[–] Zedd_Prophecy@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Can you go careening around twisty mountain roads with the top down with a 6 speed manual stick with that watch? No? I'll take my Miata any day. Good luck with your time keeping.

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 hours ago

Good for you, why should I care?

[–] LavaPlanet@lemm.ee 7 points 13 hours ago

Fool and his money.

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 23 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

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

Thanks for showing me where to find it. /j

[–] RadioFreeArabia@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Imagine not being able to tell the time by just looking up

[–] nailbar@sopuli.xyz 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Misses train. Yells at clouds.

[–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 hours ago

Nice double entendre
