Poor is the new rich

I need to find me an indepent partner job ASAP: -On Valentine’s Day, my gf bought a bunch of hors d’oerves wholesale from Trader Joe’s for dinner and we made homemade Sangria. -Our couches have been shot to sh!t but instead of buying new ones she bought some nice fabric and sewed new slip covers for the cushions instead. -I am down to 3 good suits, one of which has a faded crotch and another which is about a size too big for me but I don’t want to shell out for an alteration. -If I need to print something I wait to do it in the office so I don’t wear down the f#@@!$ing expensive ink cartridge at home. -I reuse bowls, utensils, and cups so I don’t have to run the dishwasher as much and buy new detergent. -We bought a vat of liquid soap from Chinatown to refill our soap containers when they run out instead of buying new ones at the drugstore.

  • I haven’t bought new clothes in about 5 years, seriously. - JohnThainsLimoDriver is the new JohnThain. Anyways, I like your posts JTLD, keep them up! I hope you don’t get banned.

You know what they say about guys with faded crotch suits…

I don’t wear underwear so my crotch doesn’t fade… but it develops annoying pee stains that at first I didn’t notice but apparently everybody else has been noticing and talking about it behind my back.

I would be interested to hear how you see it, but I have noticed a distinct deterioration in how people dress. The shopping streets and malls I frequent are still packed with people, but their clothes seem to get shabbier by the day. The occasional banker sticks out like a sore thumb and I almost feel some relief at the sight of a “normally” dressed business person. My feeling is, you are by no means an exemption, LimoDriver, quite the contrary. If you look for a promotion or an entirely new job, I would recommend following this example. Charlie Chaplin made a big career with his third rate outfit, but will you?
