Sounds that Make You Feel Poor

[MartyByrde]

Scraping the burn off of toast in the morning.

 

[Epsilon0]

Think of it this way: you are not poor, you are environmentally friendly because you try to salvage the edible parts, instead of throwing the toast in the bin and wasting resources.

I'd say you're Captain Planet!

 

[Brick In The Wall]

Spanking the last bit of ketchup out of the bottle like it owes you money. Digging through the couch for loose change. Flicking your lighter 100x to light your cigarette.

Ketchup spanker--best phrase I've heard in a while!

Did you try shaking the lighter? I can usually get an extra flick or two that way.

 

[Epsilon0]

The sound made by the caviar jar as it hits the floor of my brand new Rolls Royce.

(I feel poor because my butler is not there to pick it up for me.)

Oh I spank all my bottles until my hand hurts!

I've not tried that lighter trick but I'll definitely keep it in mind. The one I have is about done for so I'll be trying that really soon!

 

[Fragile]

having to wash clothes by hand.

 

[Brink]

Digging through the ashtray for dogends.

 

[Fragile]

oh and also the distinct sound of... carving a pipe out of an apple.

yeah, i've made a lot of poor life decisions these last couple of years.

Sounds like my adolescence. I may carve one for old time's sake.

The things I've turned into pipes. Makes me feel like Macgyver everytime!

 

[puppy9]

walking face down hoping to find some money on the ground to satisfy my gambling habit.

 

[Broken Chimera]

Trying to get the last drop of vape juice out of the bottle.

 

[Fragile]

god damn, i thought that i was just mildly trashy, but this thread has shown me that i'm actually poor.

i guess that i should start saving money for that washing machine.

 

[FusRohDracarys]

The farty sound the shampoo bottle makes when you try to squeeze the last watered down bit out.

 

[BPD Barbie]

Digging through the couch for loose change.

And then taking all your 5ps and 1ps to the shop to buy things with.
When people say things like 'oh it only costs X amount to buy', that makes my ass feel broke as hell.

 

[KleinerWolf]

When housemate's BMW engine sounds and you don't have a car, and either walk or catch a bus all the time.

I waited for 3 pennies in change today. Felt cheap as hell, but it all adds up.

 

[puppy9]

catch a bus all the time.

It will be my best bus ride ever.

 

[Soul]

The sound of carefully rinsing frozen-spinach bags in order to have any plastic bags at all.
The sound of rinsed-out frozen-spinach bags rubber-banded to my feet when I have to go out in wet weather.
The sound of my brain-dead feet clumping around with their circulation cut off by rubber bands.
On a cheerier note: the sound Peeps make when I toast them over the stove. Discount Peeps that is.

 

[BPD Barbie]

Yep! That's why I keep a little change pot and put all the small change in it.

The knock on the door cuz I'm too tight to buy a doorbell.

You can have my doorbell since no one visits me haha.
Sorry for being sarcastic... I had to...

 

[Squiddy]

Sound of opening up a letter with hospital bills

 

[ArtsyDrawer]

Fighting medics while in postictal state because a ride in the wee-woo van is too expensive.
