13444098, I picked up a quarter off the ground just last week

I got a six figure salary, my wife is a doctor, we have four cars, a two story house with three full bathrooms, and two kids in daycare … we don’t want for anything except that to be out of student loan debt.

And I picked up that quarter and put it right in my pocket.


Let a rapper throw any non coin amount of money, it’s going right in my pocket.

13444101, 4 cars? Y’all do everything big in Texas

13444108, Ideally we would have two

But my wife wont take the electric
I picked up a commute that’s 840 miles a week minimum. I still owe on the electric that has city range, but couldn’t make it work for the commute.
So I got another electric that has the range I need for work. And the day we don’t need it is that day it’s gone. Its a very nice car. But not what I want.
Meanwhile my wife has the civic. And we have a 4x4 for nature shit and beach runs in the time of COVID.
In an ideal world we have a family car and a 4x4 electric. That would solve ALL of the problems.
13444099, define "demean"

13444112, A loss of dignity.

Feeling like you're a peasant scrambling to get a sixpence the king threw into the unwashed masses.

Just feeling dumb and embarrassed, ass in the air trying to maneuver around other embarrassing people to get some extra money lol
13444116, ahh ok...in that case, step aside as I lean over to retrieve these singles...
Posted by FLUIDJ, Fri Oct-08-21 11:28 AM
no shame here.
13444103, How am I gonna know the denomination if I don't pick it up first?
Posted by Original Juice, Fri Oct-08-21 10:42 AM
It's pretty dark at some of these venues.
13444107, $20 minimum. But I'm not going to be scrambling to pick up any amount
Posted by PimpTrickGangstaClik, Fri Oct-08-21 10:51 AM
Whenever something like this happens people are diving to the floor, pushing and shoving. Nah, they can have that.

If it's just some money at my feet than I can just calmly bend over and grab, I'll bend my knees for a 20.

13444109, Depends on how many bills were thrown out there.
Posted by soulfunk, Fri Oct-08-21 10:54 AM
Because if it’s scarce enough that everyone’s gonna be fighting over it (which they will) then I’m good.
13444111, Can't edit anymore 😤
Posted by shygurl, Fri Oct-08-21 11:08 AM
Missed a word, that should be 'the crowd'
13444113, I'd pick up a dollar at my feet
Posted by Cenario, Fri Oct-08-21 11:19 AM
i'm not fighting others or going crazy to catch any denomination though.
13444114, COVID dollars. No thanks.
Posted by Numba_33, Fri Oct-08-21 11:21 AM
I'd watch from afar.
13444115, If it falls near me, I’m grabbing it.
Posted by tariqhu, Fri Oct-08-21 11:24 AM
13444123, If I can reach it, I will keep it
Posted by legsdiamond, Fri Oct-08-21 11:56 AM
In what world am I too proud to pick up free money?



13444126, none. I’m getting the hell out the way lol
Posted by Trinity444, Fri Oct-08-21 12:08 PM
I’m too scared of getting hurt.
13444127, OKP's on the floor at a rap show but want to still act bougie lol
Posted by ThaTruth, Fri Oct-08-21 12:20 PM
13444140, Not acting bougie lol just realistic!
Posted by shygurl, Fri Oct-08-21 02:01 PM
It's not going to be a nice and organized distribution of bills, it's going to be chaotic. I don't think it's worth tussling with some twenty year old over a couple of dollar bills.

It's already enough to be seen picking up money, but in a crowded club/venue scene? Nah, gotta be an incentive.
13444148, Now that you mention it - what am I doing on the floor at a rap show?
Posted by soulfunk, Fri Oct-08-21 03:04 PM
lol
13444251, that was the part I couldn't get my head around in this scenario
Posted by Rjcc, Sun Oct-10-21 04:57 PM
general admission standing room only what?

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at
13444305, Oh wait.... Standing only?
Posted by spades, Mon Oct-11-21 12:39 PM
Nigga I'm grown!

it ain't even on some I'm too good for

My knees ain't built for standing room only.

lol
13444141, My number is $10 I think
Posted by shygurl, Fri Oct-08-21 02:03 PM
$30 or $40 dollars is enough to get my peasant on.
13444142, The peasant is the one who would even be at such
Posted by allStah, Fri Oct-08-21 02:08 PM
a concert where money is being tossed.

Step your music game up.
13444147, Good point. What oldhead backpacker rapper would make it rain at a concert?
Posted by shygurl, Fri Oct-08-21 03:03 PM
I don't even mean that in a facetious manner, I'm in my 30s and I imagine most people on this site are around my age or older so who would be around our age throwing money? Maybe Wayne/Juve/Cash Money? Three Six? It's such a colossal waste of money I can't even imagine Jay doing it.

Either way, it's a hypothetical question. Imagine idk Nas or Rakim or Kurtis Blow doing it.
13444152, agreed lol...

13444144, I'll pick up at least enough to pay for my Cookout run lol

13444167, Cash Money Is Money, Thrown Money Spends The Same As Earned Money
Posted by Dj Joey Joe, Fri Oct-08-21 09:50 PM
Think of yourself as the dancer for the performing artist and they are throwing money at you, pick that shit up, and collect your earnings, lol.


13444289, lol @ passing up free money because I'm too good to bend down.
Posted by spades, Mon Oct-11-21 11:41 AM
Damn. We have a high opinion of ourselves around here, don't we?
