Naming your children after luxury brands.

My brother always carries a wad of cash in a money clip. He has a $100 bill on the outside, but the rest is all $1’s. It’s all for show. He has no money and lives with my parents.

A buddy of mine went to pretty high-end clubs. There was this Instagram dude constantly shooting pictures with empty expensive bottles that either he requested at the bar, or took off the tables. I can’t imagine how much of a joke your life has become at that point lol.

Me, telling people I own Bitcoin, but conveniently not mentioning that I only own .002BTC.

My guitar collection lol.

I work at a sneaker store and it is FILLED with fake designer clothes and rare sneakers. Every time I see one I make a point to greet that customer and ask where they got it. It’s hilarious to watch them scramble for an answer.

Not licking the lids of yogurt before throwing it away.
