Following from the previous rant, which sparked a couple of points which need bitching about, is the fact of “spending other people’s money”, which is a popular theme with a few people I know.
The idea of being able to spend someone else’s money with their consent is a very a nice idea. If someone came up to you and said: “Hey! If you want you can buy anything from here and I’ll pay for it“. I can bet my ass that your little eyes will sparkle like solar explosions. Atoms will fuse within your eyes when you will hear someone say that to you.
But for the majority of us things like that rarely happen, if ever. But there are a few out there who have the luck and opportunity to just do that many times. And therefore has made me do, what I do best, and bitch about it.
Ok so, yes, if someone came up to you and offered to pay for whatever you wanted from a shop you will immediately go and get the most expensive thing that you want. Of course, you will only do that if you are a spoiled, snotty little shit, who licks ass and gets money and other shit for free, or by others paying for them.
While I was discussing this with a few people, I was simply asked “Well, if you are not going to spend it, what are you going to do with it? And so, if you have it, spend it! “. Brilliant idea, I nearly back-flipped with joy. But no! There is a valid point missed there. Let’s say that someone came up to me and said: “Let’s go to a garage and you choose whatever car you want, and I’ll pay for it“. I, personally, the first thing I will do is analyse the situation. I have the chance to have any car I want from a garage, so therefore I can have a Porche, or a Subru, or a Ferrari (?!). But logically I will think of what will I need from the car. If I need to go from A to B, then a Fiesta, Ford Focus, Golf will do fine. If I need to race or some other shit, then yeah, a Ferrari would be nice.
I do not need see the point in people spending a lot of money on useless shit. I see people riding push bikes that cost £2,000. And the bikes are designed to resist so much impact and pressure that they can withstand a dinosaur fucking them. Yet, you see people riding them from A to B, from home to office and back. It makes you wonder what these kind of people eat for breakfast? lol, I can see it: Dumbass Cereal - Boost your stupidty and lower your IQ every morning!
It is just sad that people spend so much money in “having the latest and best” when in reality they don’t even need it. You wouldn’t catch me in a Porche if I needed to drive from home to work, and vise versa. I will just stick with a car that is good and is comfortable. Is the same with clothes “Well I am going to go and buy my clothes from Ben Sherman because it sounds better than Tesco”, but who gives a shit if they are from Tesco or another shop down the road? Of course the price difference will give a shit, where at Tesco a pair of jeans could cost £10 and in Ben Sherman it could cost £150. For the same shit?! Yes OK, I understand that quality is an issue here and in most branded shops you pay for quality. But if I needed a pair of jeans to wear when I just nip down to the shop to buy some orange juice, I am not exactly going to spend £150 on a pair! lol: Yeh, hold on a minute I need to put on my £150 jeans in case the shop assistant checks out my ass for the whole 3 MINUTES I’ll be in there! - Get the fuck out that shit.
Back on the topic of the rant, if someone was willing to pay for my shit, I personally wouldn’t choose the most expensive from whatever that I could find. Reason for this being is because the way I have been brought up, and also because of a word which cannot be exactly translated from Romanian to English: bulangiu. But, what the closest thing to translate is if you imagine the saying: If someone gives you a finger, you take the whole hand. That’s the closest I could get to translating the word.
In the end you don’t need to have latest, greatest, best things out there, if you can get cheaper alternatives. But because people are not correctly educated and brought up, (7 ani de acasa), then they will remain the way are until their death.
