Eat the rich

By DimeShapedBruise - 24/09/2013 06:14 - United States - Beaverton

Today, some asshat chewed me out over a 10 cent late fine he was charged on his library card. When I tried to explain the fine to him, he started mimicking me. Finally, as he chucked a dime at my head before storming out, I saw the glint of a Rolex watch from beneath his power suit. FML

I'm to poor to have even recognized a Rolex if it slapped me in the face lol.

What a cheap ass when he has a Rolex allegedly. 10 cents is nothing to that guy, that dick.

personally I would have pulled out 10 cents from my pocket and said here you obviously need it more than me

And then he learns that if he throws a hissy fit every time, someone will pay his fine for him. You don't want to reward his childish behavior.

I work in a library as well so I understand your pain. It's like bring the book/movie back on time and you won't have to part with your precious money.

Is it bad that I pictured Tony Stark walking into the library and making a big scene before tossing the dime, activating his Iron Man suit, and then flying away?

Pretty impressed OP can spot a Rolex, a brand famous for being expensive, on the arm of a man who is refusing to pay a very small fine. By a mere glint under a "power suit" (exoskeleton? Or something segway drivers would wear?). Besides what kind of a fine is 10cents?

Most libraries have daily late fees. Returning an item one day late costs you 10 cents, two days late costs you 20 cents, three days late costs you 30 cents, and so on. That way it's not a big deal if you can't get to the library one day and it ends up being a day or two late, but it discourages people from hanging on to books for weeks or months after they're due because the fines would start to pile up.

A lot of people wear fake Rolexes. Maybe he thought you were wrong in assessing him the fine, so while the amount was trifling, the principle was galling.

as someone who works on wall street, we view people who wear rolexes as people with barely enough money that they want to show they have money, but not enough to actually buy anything important. It is like driving a used corvette.

Hate to break it to you, but once you drive out of the dealership lot your car is used.

I think everyone knows what I mean by saying "used car". Do I really have to define that for you?

No, you don't. However, I would suggest that you act less like a self-important jerk. Don't look down upon those who are less fortunate.

I am telling it like it is. I didn't look down at anyone, but you are definitely being judgmental about me. Pot, meet kettle.

I'll be the pot and you can be the kettle. Sup, homie, I'm Welshite.

That may be a good point, but bloody hell you sound pretentious.

Not only do you sound completely pretentious, but your comment barely makes any sense (logical or grammatical). Warren Buffett still does his washing in the bath tub when he stays in a hotel - quite often people who had to actually earn their money remain quite frugal. I know plenty of people that can afford to buy any car they like and instead get one 1-2 years old to avoid the ridiculous devaluation on a new car, just on principal.

On another note: Rolex styling is normally hardly subtle (often quite hideous IMO), so if OP liked watches he could recognise one fairly quickly.
