There is too much autism in this one sentence for me to process. Jesus Christ, you think a bunch of merry 20 somethings knew what was even on your phone?

>pointing at it to the beat of the song

Literally like so just can't even right now

If it's true, you are more autistic than people who write sonic fan fiction, if it's a lie you shouldn't lie on international neet board or at least said that you showed it on your local board games club pointing at beat of game master. Either way, I think Tyga is shit I prefer in a club Miike Snow - Genghis Khan (Hook N Sling Remix)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKWB-t0pyJ0&nohtml5=False

You're a faggot.

Never flaunted apart from buying a round of shots for literally everyone in a bar I was drinking at and tipping my favorite server at one place $100.

Went to buy a box spring once dressed like a bum, though.

I didn't feel that bad as I've learned the same lesson the same way as a sales rep. Pre-judging clients is fucking retarded.

Used to know a guy who worked at a Maserati dealership. He said you'd be surprised at the number of people who pull up in some old beater dressed like hobos, pay cash for one, then arrange for someone else to pick it up later.

Apparently it's true, I went to one just looking around for fun in old street clothes and got treated better than at Mercedes, where no one even looked at me.

Went to buy a BMW 7. dressed in jeans and polo.

Get told BMW not for everyone.

Say ok. Walk across street and buy a jag that. Come back tell the guy thanks for the advice.

Reminds me of when I was in middle school and I tipped a waiter $20 because my mom gave me the cash anyway and I was trying to impress some girls. The waiter chased me down as I was leaving and thanked me and said he was a new waiter and kept always getting given kids tables when they come in and they never tip.

The girls still weren't impressed though, because I was pretty weird.

Had a gambling problem in my early 20s. Started playing Baccarat and was always impressed by the asian dudes and bitches that would by in for 1k in all 20's.

I was only working at Wendys at the time while going to college so I saved up my pay checks for 3 months and bought in with 2k at a table, all in 20s. It took them like 10 minutes to count it and I looked like a fucking boss.

Lost the 2k at the table though.

She took jabs at him throughout the whole article. Calling him small, implying he's timid and not a man. Saying a millionaire shouldn't spend $120 on tea and give it to a homeless shelter? That's why he has millions and she had to write this article for a couple hundred bucks.

Women like this are destroying the country and are so out of touch with reality it is physically painful. Trump needs to round them up into gas chambers.

Had a gold-digger attached to me for ages. Only realized something was up when I looked at my finances and wondered why I'd gotten steadily poorer over those three years despite promotions and good investment dividends.

Fucking Skrehli You NEVER order the most expensive thing on the menu. MiddleSchool move bro. Cash don't impress girls. You don't need to prove it twice you're already in the news for being a biz bro

Can you imagine rolling up w/ driver. Just in case you don't know I'm rich here have some more proof.

Like take a moment, most people have never had money to blow like that. This bitch still hasn't processed that it was literally nothing to skrells. but to her it was sensless waste.
any way she's a poorfag whore fuck her.

Sorta slummed it on a first date with a chick. Didn't want her to think I was made of money so I took my beater car and we went bowling then got a pizza. She acted bored as fuck through it all. I never called her back, she didn't call me.

Saw her out at the bar pulling up in my fun car a couple weeks later, she came up and asked me to buy her a drink when I went to get a round for the guys. I stared her down, ordered my drinks, paid in cash (made a big show of counting out the twenties, the round would have cost at least $60), then walked away, without saying a word.

Super glad I've always owned two cars; made it easier to weed out the gold diggers when I was single.

I have two cars too, a beat to shit accord that Ive had since highschool but still drive to work and recently bought a twin turbo 300zx. Not exactly luxury but its my dream car and looks 100x better than my honda.

I have/had this huge crush on a coworker, one night I gave her a ride home. Few days later I actually worked up the courage to ask her out and she straight up told me she woudnt date me because I couldnt afford to, citing my car. Needless to say i was crushed... Fast forward, I went into work in my 300zx to pick up something, and she saw it and had a complete change of heart, asked if I wanted to go out later.

Told her ok, then never showed to pick her up. Dumb cunt.

In Holland we have a huge holiday where we celebrate the ascenscion of our Queen/king to the throne. Its always busy as fuck and the streets and bars are filled to the brim with people. I was with friends once when we wanted to buy drinks. You literally had to wade your way through a line of dozens of people to order. It would take ages just to get one drink.

So we decided to buy 40 beers in one order. The look on the face of the barman when I gave him my order was priceless. He realized I was for real when i gave him two 50 euro bills.

Even better was the look of envy of the crowd as we formed a que just to get our drinks to our group. It was awesome.

Bar has floor to ceiling glass facing the street (one of those trendy places that you go into in hopes that other people see you). I dropped my friends off out front then went and parked.

Who knows maybe she didn't see me. Don't know what else would have changed her mind about chatting me up tho.

Maybe she was just angling for a free drink, but it's not like I was the only one splashing cash in that place.
