“I don’t get my happiness from material worth.”
What kind of dumbass would spend that much on a watch?
“My wealth is in stocks”
"Fuck outta here with your garbage little trinket. Rolex as a whole, doesn’t come anywhere NEAR the big three in any capacity, so go get yourself a real watch and I might be impressed, because all you’ve shown me so far is your have more money than taste…*
“What kinda mileage does it get?”
“Cool, I went to the bar with my friends last night. What did you do?”
“Can you get me some more water?”
“Oh, am I supposed to kiss it?”
That’s when you pull Nick Swarsdson’s wrist watch bit. “Hey man I can’t read my watch, can you read my watch?”
A classic that always makes people like this angry is the good ole, "Anyways, [Something you are casually going to do today or did yesterday]- " and a hand wave to dismiss the statement.
It infuriates them lol
“that’s so sad”
But realistically probably nothing, someone like that isn’t going to care enough about what you think to be affected by what you say.
If they’ve gone out of their way to draw attention to it, they clearly do care to some degree, whether they directly express it or not.
“So?”
That’s the response you want. Complete andutter boredom. You don’t care. Their entire personality is built around a weird little status structure and if you don’t buy into their hallucination they lose their everloving minds
“Ok” is my go-to. It feels dismissive because it is.
“Was it meant to make you happier? I’m not sure it worked.”
My phone is more accurate
Time is a construct
Look of confusion “Does…does that make you happy?”
-or-
“Was it worth it?”
“How fast does it do 0-60?”
About a minute
So it’s not even accurate? I’m not sure you got a quality timekeeping device for the cost.
It never gets to 60. For some odd reason it only gets to 59 and then drops back to zero.
And then throw it.
I have friends.
And I have the same watch, but paid $25 for it on a market in Cambodia.
