All these comments are trying too hard. The only two options are "OK?" and "that watch?"

Verbose disses only work in rap

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago

Aahhhh winner:

"that watch?"

You are awesome. Now the ball is on their side and covered in two layers of diarrhea

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 days ago

Alternatively, "And it's a very nice watch." Bonus points for riding the line between nonchalance and condescension while still being a compliment.

Do you say shit like that because nobody can tell the difference between your watch and a cheap one?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 days ago

Holds up wrist sporting a Casio F-91W "Al-Qaida"

Big deal... This watch also costs more than my car.

"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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 days ago

"Ok" is my go-to. It feels dismissive because it is.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 days ago

"Okay?"

I am not a friend of clever comebacks. People who point these things out are pathetic and people who get triggered by that only slightly less so.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 days ago

Why the fuck would I drive a watch ?

[–] [email protected] 43 points 6 days ago

"that's a lot of money for such an ugly watch."

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I guess it's true, money can't buy taste.

Fun fact: Alec Baldwin's character was invented for the movie to provide exposition. The filmmakers didn't trust movie-going audiences to pick up the information from the three conversations that occur at the beginning of the play.

Do have some other investmentadvice I shouldn’t heed?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago

A new London bus costs around £300k, so whilst is plausible that the watch cost more than my 'car', it's a pretty stupid way of spending that amount of money...

[–] [email protected] 24 points 6 days ago (1 children)

What kind of dumbass would spend that much on a watch?

A shame, such a tasteless choice. If you had as much class as money, you'd have chosen something like a vintage 1960s submariner rather than a frivolous toy available on every high street in the world.

"Does it keep better time than my 15 dollar digital Casio? Is it sturdier? Will it last longer? Is it more comfortable? No? So you spent a ridiculous amount of money to buy a less functional watch made out of precious essential materials just to try to impress people like me?"

Honestly though, if you want to piss watch people off, just say "Oh, it looks just like a regular watch, thanks for pointing it out".

If only you had learned to tell time.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago

Damn thats a cheap watch, is it Chinese too?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

My car was a present, any watch costs more than my car

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

"Good for you. Have a cookie. My $20 Casio tells the time just as well."

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

Probably more accurate. It wasn’t called the Quartz Apocalypse for nothing.

It never gets to 60. For some odd reason it only gets to 59 and then drops back to zero.

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

Look of confusion "Does...does that make you happy?"

-or-

"Was it worth it?"

So being rich is a fairly new thing to you? What are you gonna do when you get used to it?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I don't have a car

I don't care to respond

I don't mind sounding poor.

Wealth beyond what is good for you is no better than theft I'd say. Buying expensive watches while little children grow up in poverty is nothing to be proud of. If anyone should feel shame it should be that guy. Don't be humiliated by such shameless assholes. And don't try to counter attack, It won't work, they don't share your values, they feel no shame for the things that they do. Instead let's organize and fight them where it hurts. Taxes, taxes, taxes.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 days ago

"what?"

"I'm sorry I didn't catch that"

"one more time?"

"ok. thanks for letting me know."

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago

"that's cute!"

“Your watch cost more than £100?”

"It's certainly a nice looking piece of jewelry"

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 days ago

Sorry I'm not into bracelets

[–] Pyr_Pressure 2 points 4 days ago

Anyone who spends more on a watch than a car has poor money management. Fuck, what a waste. There's no way any watch is worth more than $1000 other than for clout which is stupid.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 days ago

"Nice, but I kinda prefer the newer model from the spring catalogue. The subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark."

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago

"So, you're both rich and stupid"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

"Oh, you could only afford one watch?"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Woow, what does it do?

  • It tells time.

Nothing else? So does my car.
