What was your most blatant "I've got money" comment...

Only at McDonalds can you spend $100 on a sack full of Big Macs and still get no beef !

 

Drive through any ghetto in Chicago and you'll see the same thing.

That doesn't say money, it says debt.

 

Not true. If you are dealing with a major international bank (Citi, HSBC, Credit Suisse, etc...), you tend not worry about the bank going bust next week...

 

Sadly, it's the American way.

 

I thought it was interesting that when I used to drive my scruffy 68 Vette before I restored it, everybody would treat me as if I was a blue color worker.

That was a bit surreal for me, it was a great stealth car

 

I know someone who got stopped by Police for not wearing his seat belt while driving his Bentley.

Police Office: "Evening Sir, can I ask why you're not wearing your seatbelt?"

Guy: "There are special circumstances"

Police Officer: "Well, what are those special circumstances?"

Guy: "I can afford the fine"

Apparently, the Coppers threw the book at him, got him for all srots of bits!!!

 

haha... nice.

 

Today, the Post Office was packed.

I bought a book (20) of the new 39 cent stamps and eleven 2 cent stamps & turned around, did a little White Man's Overbite & acted like I graduated from the same Smarm School as Ellen Lamebo as I announced "not only am I going first class, but I'm upgrading reservations I made last year." *winked, gave a little air pistol & tch-tched*

 

After Thanksgiving a few years ago an aquaintance came up to me and asked what I did. I said that I went to Cape Cod.

him: what part?

me: The islands.

him: Really? which one?

I told him the name of the island.

him: No way! How do you know the family that owns that island?

me: I am that family.

That was interesting.

 

IT IS TED KENNEDY hahaha... oh wait no his name is tom...

 

Classic! Reminds me of that line in anchorman, "I dont quite know how to say this... but I'm kind of a big deal.. I have leather bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany"

It wasnt really for me since i dont have money yet but i was dinning with a new date at a restaurant and we were talking about stuff we enjoyed and eventually it came to Ferraris and i told her that i enjoyed Ferraris outing and track days .

She said : "ahh you are the kind that likes to wear ferraris tee shirts and caps " ?

I told her , no im the kind that enjoys driving them...


She didnt answer anything and the look on her face was priceless..

 

I remember meeting this guy on the road while towing a trailer that said HUBBELL on it.

we were rolling to a stop & he asks me if I work for HUBBELL

I told him I AM HUBBELL

He kept asking if I worked there, seems he never put the 2 together

 

I used to change cash in Egypt "in the market"...was fun.

Getting 20'000 USDs in EGP (~120'000) each in 1 EGP notes....you get out with a trash bag full of cash.

If you get in a bank with that, guards were afraid to see so much money (they earn 160 EGP a month)

 

I am going to VIR next month and staying in a hotel.

(Actually the hotel is free thanks to my brother.)

Wait what was this thread about... oh sorry I'm just a broke grad student.

 

It is a good thing you got all that in 1 pound notes. Nobody in Egypt will break anything larger than a 10!!!

 

26M and you're only a silver subscribed...cheapskate. :- )~

 

I walked into a store and a man came up to me and said I can not shop here. I asked him why. He responded that this was not a place for someone like me. Everyone in the store was looking at me a smirking so I pulled out the Amex Black Card and said I have a Rolex Daytona on and this card and you don't think this place is for me? He then offered me a drink and a personal shopper to which I said OK then walked out. He chased me outside and said he is soo sorry and that he is the owner. He should have never assumed anything. I told him its fine and I will deal with it.


I don't ever do anything like this but it kind of felt good to do so.

was in some crap bar in France with my wife, had no idea what I was paying for. So after a few, some American students came up to me and thanked me for the drinks. Had no clue. Turns out the bar tender thought I was in charge of the group. We kept drinking and I kept paying was the hero of the night. Total bill:$500.00. I no longer wear a nice watch out.

 

***c that!! I've been given dirty looks at times, but blatantly saying "you can not shop here, its not for someone like you" is just the most messed up thing I've heard. Im glad you stuck it up to them.

Do you mind sharing which shop this was? So that I can go there unshaven and in slippers next time?

 

I remember seeing that very scene in "Rad Woman"

 

A while back, the lady in payroll came by to see me prior to my vacation and apologized for not sending out the paperwork in order to get the vacations paid in advance.

I replied: "that's OK...I'm not hurting for cash." All she muttered was, "Hell, you got a Ferrari, so I'm not surprised."

In retrospect, it was a bit pompous on my part, but it was the first thing that came out of my mouth. (blushing...)

 

It was on Rodeo Drive and I forgot the name of the place. It is closer to little Santa Monica.

 

Wasnt that some porno?
