I can afford not to have a watch.

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

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

Your pathetic status symbols only show how anxious and insecure you are.

"You got ripped off"

My car has an analog clock face too.

"Was it meant to make you happier? I'm not sure it worked."

When I was at school, the kids would say, "my dad's shed is bigger than your dad's shed". But that was a long time ago, and we each had a child's view of the world. Most of us grew up.

don't. make a "oh poor guy" face and move on. he wants you to engage, to be angry, if you don't he will be mad

Quite a low bar considering that I don't need a car of my own.

Will your regular charge you half price when she doesn't see you wearing it?

• 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.

steals his watch

"Oh, you could only afford one watch?"

That watch salesman really ripped you off then.

'I can think of many better uses for the metals in that watch.'

I couldn't care less.

That's not a very high bar, boomer.

Bragging is lower-class behavior

this movie, glengarry glen ross, was so fucking good. definitely worth a watch if you enjoy watching masterpiece acting. kevin spacey is in it though (his acting is great he just sucks as a person)

neat

Ok, and what's your question?

Smile and say "it's very pretty".

That's cool, but MY watch has a Tomagachi living in it.

"What a horrible financial decision"

Jokes on you, with the deferred maintenance, my car has negative worth.

Shoot the man.

"Okay and does it tell the time?"

Good for you, why should I care?

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.

K

You still use a watch?

Just smile non-genuinely and say "Sure."

"good for you, little guy"

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?"

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

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

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