Most shameful, poverty thing you have done?

[SMASHgym]

Got really high one night with friends.
Friend suggested we go dumpster diving for food...i was like wtf no thanks jeff you poverty *******.
that resolve died when we found a big bag of unopened chips, a 6 pack of lemon lime bitters unopened and a box of chocolate easter bunnies that retail at like $12 each all wrapped up (day after easter and it was at the back of a huge chain of supermarkets)

not a single regret was had that day, actually one of my best/funniest memories/10

[jacob553]

asked strangers for money at the train station so i could buy a ticket

[goatfromcheeky]

Slept on an air mattress I took from my ex wife's parents for a year.. When parents came to visit thy bought me a mattress, slept on just the mattress for 7 months till I moved back to tx.


Used company's gas card to fill up my cars tank.

When noone was looking at work I would eat someone else's food in the fridge

Not eat for 2 days at a time

Was a bad time for me Brahs..

But ALWAYS had food for my daughter and a nice clean place for her when i had her on the weekends.. She would always ask why I wasnt eating when she would eat.. I would say " I'm not hungry"

u shuldnt be ashamed brah .

LOL...I just imagined your roommate putting that food in the dumpster before you got there so he could ask you to do it and see your reaction...

[OneHandClap]

When I ran out of toilet paper I used newspaper.
When I ran out of newspaper I peeled the inside of the toilet roll and rubbed that together to soften it a bit.

That's some poverty **** right there.

[TeddySchorr]

eggs + canned spaghetti + canned beans + canned tuna + chocolate sauce

almost everyday for months, sometimes I'd mix it up and put some asian sweet n sour sauce on it, or mayo but it was rare

so fukkin cool brah

[QuickNutkus]

If my parents decide to kick me out, I will join you brahs.

This is some good chit.

Here's a story. Not poverty due to lack of money, but poverty behavior none the less. When I was little, my friend and I were going to going to go to the waterpark. Well, the next day, it rained so bad his mom said we'd go the next day.

Well we didn't want to wait til the next day, so we trudged/crawled/swam through the extremely flooded ditch for hours.

She mad. We never went.

[Spoonhands]

Ran out of toilet paper so used a roommates copy of Harry Potter instead...


Fukked her Kindle right up

[TransformMeNao]

Was so poor when i was a kid we didin't have food at home, one day after the rain had settled i found some old dry bread but it was hard so what i did was i dipped it in water that was still on the road after the rain and ate the bread. povert not even once.

[mgsmith93]

this but I am poverty so it's not too shameful

another would have to be thinking I am going to be rich collecting cans. Going to take up this hobby again on my break.

lol this as well

[TheBrentmeister]

i tried to talk a chubby black chick with spiky man hair, huge tits and missing teeth from smoking crack into banging me for $5 instead of her charging price of 10 srs

Lmao.

[BulentBumBum]

Our boiler broke down because our basement flooded some 7years back. Lived without hot water or heating for about 2 years without insulated glazing.
Since my parents just opened a shop and were in debt, there was no money for repairs. In the summer it was fine, but when winter came along we could always see our breath at all times everywhere in the house.
Cold showers, cold everything. Didn't help that the store didn't do too well.

Most poverty decision I made, whenever friends would go out to eat eventhough it only costs �5 for a meat filled sandwich I would just say I was joining them for the social aspect and hope they had some leftovers for me to eat because I didn't want to ask my mom for money.

[nicd123]

When I wasn't working and I was broke as fuark I would feel bad for asking my mom to lend me money to buy protein, so what I would do is go to walmart with a walmart bag nicely folded up in my pocket and then I would grab a protein tub and head to an isolated area and put the protein in the bag I had brought and then walk out of the store as if I had bought the protein. Did this many times. Probably not the most poverty shameful thing I've done, I'd have to think longer about that one, but still it's up there.

Lol probably the easiest way to not get caught stealing. I was a bit of an odd kid growing up- constantly stole sh*t , got busted twice (minors get a warning, after 18 its straight jail time) after that I saw a rack of CDs I wanted and I was like "**** it, I'm just gonna walk right out" so I picked them up, did a circle of the store and walked right out with a smile on my face as the people wished me a good day. Done with that sh*t now though

[djwolford]

****ed a banana and then ate it

You what?

-Have to buy nearly expired meat because it is on sale and freeze it
-Ate spaghetti and ground beef(on sale) for 4 months straight because I couldnt afford anything else and it filled me up

[whiterice77]

Drank kool-aid I found in a dirty lake, at the time was like a gift from god cause i was thirsty as hell but lake water was green and slimy.

Reuse plastic fork and cup for weeks at a time, just rinsing them in water (wasn't poor just extremely lazy and don't like wasting shiet)

[GardHainer]

When I was still studying and a massive gaming addict. I hit a low when I scrapped together all my money down to counting coins so I could buy Aon. Couldn't afford anything for weeks

[Fittler]

[Massthetics4u]

Respect. Would buy you a mattress irl

[Turamber]

I use the same plastic water bottles for literal years and don't throw them away until they start leaking.

I once spent a week in Aus and ate one loaf of bread, a bag of apricots, a bag of peanuts, marmite and some eggs that a family I ran into gave me.

[SyKoFaT]

Thanks brah! Things are actually so much better now.

The experiences I went thru made me Cherish the real Important things in life and not get caught up in materialistic crap. Money comes and goes, but family is forever

[dwill094]

not me, but was sincerely embarrassed when my friend grabbed the 'give-a-penny' plate at waffle house and scooped all of the change into his hand and shoved it in his pocket. I was rattled, srs

[PervedOut]

Not me, but a dude I know showers and then puts his dirty boxers back on and repeats for like a week.

Logic not even once
