1. "Fortunately not much" In response to Reply # 0
I remember deciding fuck being broke one day when I was leaving ninth grade and I needed to make a phone call. I had four nickels and I asked some old man if you would be nice enough to give me a quarter for four nickels so I could call for a ride. I very clearly said four nickels and that I was one short. He said, "sure," I gave him the change he counted it and said "there's only 20 cents here." I told him I knew that and I told him that, I was just a little short to make a call for a ride home. I don't even remember what he said but the look he gave me was just so fucking cold; I will never forget it. Over a nickel. I decided right then and there that I'd never be in a position to depend on anybody for SHIT.
And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

comes on...
but i got a better broke gas hustle. say you expect to have money on a friday. what you do is go to the gas station on a wednesday and charge your gas. all they'll do is charge your account $1. the rest of the charge won't hit til Friday when your money will be there...

Let's say, hypothetically of course, that someone were moving in and left their couch touching the sidewalk and someone else just happened to come through while they were chilling and swiped said couch/insert furniture.
Let's take it a step further and say someone sold said fair used furniture to a store.

It pains her to go to a mall and buy stuff. She grew up dirt poor in Southeast DC and refuses to waste money today on damn near anything yet her pockets are now deep. I tried to buy her a new ford explorer. She said bump that, she wanted a Ford Fiesta because it got 40 miles a gallon. So that's what I bought her and she loves it. I'm fortunate to have a woman like her.

Just kidding, but probably the lowest thing I've ever done was live for a week off Toast-Chee crackers. You can get a box of those things for about a buck each in some places, and during a particularly bad time in college I did that a few times. It's not a big deal to me-as long as it's temporary.

29. "Edited a song for a stripper for $20" In response to Reply # 0
Via the Craigslist "gigs" section. I didn't know she was a stripper until she brought the CD to my parents house where I was living at the time. This was a few years ago when I was out of a job.
I was also flipping things on Craigslist and eBay constantly...my best come up was a Palm Pilot that my bud gave me because it didn't sell at his yard sale. I got $45 for it on eBay...that was a good day, haha. ______________________________ http://i.imgur.com/81XSukd.jpg <-- Happy trails

Walked in through the back...and the manager saw me. I was drunk, not really caring. But being super cheap. She was like "um, sorry honey, you have to enter through the front."

That's just how we rolled in Brownvsille back in the 90s. Pizza shops and bodegas accepted them. How was I to know the Colonel wasn't down with the plan.

160 and Broadway cause I ain't have money for a swipe.
I left one job and was working at the new gig, but my last check from the old job was coming in the mail that day.
Didn't know anybody at the new gig, and wasn't about to ask to borrow money. The new company was supposed to pay for my transit while on work hours, but they didn't. So I used my get home swipe to get back to the office.
Straight hill after like 80th and Broadway, haha earned my stripes that day.

to the person in front of me. i didn't have any Metro money, so when the opportunity presented myself...i had to take it. and it was awkward cause you'd have to be really close up on the person in front of you. now when i see other people doing it, i just laugh. --------------------------------------- it's true what they say...people are strange, when you're strangers.
