This is by far the funniest dayum thread on GC. I thought it needed to be moved up, because I've been ROTFLMAO since the first post.

I don't even have anything to contribute because everybody said it all. I hope some new ones come later as a result, though.

Well I step on a huge piece of glass and the blood was literally gushing out of my foot. I'm laying on the floor cracking up and it seriously looked like a crime scene...Guess that's what we get for stealing from a 6 yr old.

You know your broke when....

your on your 5th day of Ramen noodles for dinner.

you and your dorm roomate are so thirsty on a saturday night that you go from door to door looking for anyone who is still there to give you some change to go to the vending machine. Luckily finding someone who gave us a diet coke and a bottle of water.

you go to taco bell drive through w/ a zip lock baggy full of change.

you know you are broke when...

you run out of every cleaning supply and use windex for it all.

single. ply. toilet paper.

you put those last 3 fish sticks and 4 french fries on a napkin-sized piece of foil to cook.

you empty out the vacuum bag to reuse.

that last corner of vodka and a good cd is all the party you really need

you have vaseline in a piece of foil in your purse for your lips, hands, whatever needs it most.

you have stopped laughing at the bootleg names of off brand cereals (i.e. rainbow rings, flakes 'o honey, sugar snaps) and can rattle off all the variations of the original cereal in ABC order.

eta: one im guilty of... at Christmas when they are doing the charities or the Salvation Army bucket, you roll your eyes and say "someone need to come take care of ME!"

You know you are broke when.....

-You are too afraid to sign a promissory to return MY money!

But guess what...you signed it! So......if you do not repay me I WILL SEE YOU IN COURT!! If your word were good we wouldn't be here. I was nice and gave you until Saturday, September 1, 2007. If I am not paid I will take ALL OF YOUR INFO to the court house (yeah, your SSN too!) on Tuesday, September 4, 2007!!

I will keep your note near and dear to my heart!! It is the best note you have EVER given me!

Nuff said!

LMAO this thread is hilarious! I'm guilty of this too. I borrowed $20 from my daughter's piggy bank like a year ago and she is STILL reminding me that I owe her that money PLUS she wants interest! LOL!

1908 u sound like my sister. she keeps a little tablet in her purse of IOU's. from a 50 cent soda to a pair of shoes, it is on that tablet! and she doesnt want ten dollars here and there, you better give her the whole amount as you recieved it! i will never forget the time i gave her two tens instead of a whole 20...girl hurt my feelings.

1908Revelations · #39 07-11-2007, 02:19 PM

I was being nice by not getting it notarized. I'm talking $300. That might not be a lot to some of the GC ballers, but right now I am unemployed. I still have some money, but this person has pushed the LAST button.

At least there is no interest.

OneTimeSBX · #40 07-11-2007, 03:00 PM

just thought of 2 more...

when you know how to bathe in 4 cups of hot water from the gas stove, because either your water is off, or you power is off (i only know how because of hurricane Isabel a few years back lol!)

you only eat out on "kids eat free" nights, and hope to god the waitress lets you slide with that one extra kid (my parents always did!)

luvmypearls · #41 07-11-2007, 08:19 PM

It is pay day and you are already spending the next paycheck you haven't gotten yet.
Once McDonald's had a promotion: buy one Big Mac get one for 25 cents...let's just say I was only able to get one.

u have to beg ur younger siblings for money

rho4life · #43 07-12-2007, 11:41 PM

you go to events where there will be free food, and bring your own doggie bag for tomorrow.

RedefinedDiva · #44 07-13-2007, 12:48 AM

You eat pancakes daily because the complete mix only requires you to add water. (Thank God because you can't afford eggs or milk)

You and a friend put in change, hoping that it equals enough for the both of you to get at least one item off the dollar menu.

You start checking out movies from the public library because it's free.

You charge people washateria rates to come over and wash clothes.

You go on dates to get a meal.

You go to weddings/catered affairs to get a meal.

You volunteer at events that'll spring for lunch, drinks, snacks, etc. so that you know you'll have at least one meal that day.

You drink water because you can't afford anything else.

When you do get some money, you buy items in bulk in preparation for the times when you know you won't have money.

You become a math whiz because as you pick up things in the market, you calculate what your esimated total will be down to the penny.

You have bought exactly one gallon of gas.

You are driving on fumes. You gas needle is PAST E, your gas light is on, and you are praying that your car doesn't stop before you get home.
