..romero.. Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 you think eating at applebees or the olive garden is living the highlife you eat ramen for every meal even though you know it will eventually lead to you having a massive stroke no A/C so you use a spray bottle to cool yourself down in the summer. no running water? no problem, steal it from your neighbors hose. lock on the door is busted and you are too broke to have it fixed, send your kids through the window so they can unlock it from the inside. not really habits, but whatever. i know i wasn't the only one doing this.

Walid Jumblat Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 This should be retitled to The 5 Stupidest Habits You Develop Growing Up Poor In The Developed World In the under-developed world it would be more like: Bathe once a month if you can find water without visible life forms swimming in it Eat food that has been cooked in oil that has been recycled and used for the last 18 months, which you bought on the street from some one with even less money than you Eat food with cardboard mixed in to it to stop the pain in your stomach for a few hours develop bladder infections that you can't afford medicine for after using underwear that was worn by three people before yourself Die in winter. I've witnessed all of these things and I fucking hate it because now I can't bring myself to laugh at poverty any more. Stupid poor people, ruin everything.

McLovin Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (kind of stupid but)having shit that most other people didn't have like brand named shoes like nike kswiss was seriously considered baller status making 10/20 dollars last you like 2 weeks(having 20 dollars was like having $100) even having a dollar or a food stamp in your pocket was the shit lots and lots of walking and riding bikes(occasionally bus) to get where you want to go.. didn't have a car walking a cart full of groceries like 5 miles home and watching the baskets pile up in your back yard dumping shit you don't need and nobody wants in alleys checking pay phones if they have forgotten change in the slots always looking over your shoulders restaurants in general were luxuries blanket sheets over windows instead of blinds bags and bags of beans and rice(i have noticed in richer areas this stuff is more expensive) they do like Mexican food i guess always stocked with top ramen, boxes of rice a roni, baloney, and hot dogs picked up cans and bottles all the time cuz we recycled even though we were poor we always tried to have food in the house just some stuff i remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
