4 grand for that privilege? No thanks.
It's an expensive habit but I love watches. So although I agree with how lavish it is, I can understand why people feel the need to spend such a bewildering amount.

What's there to love? For me, I don't think they look particularly great.

I'd much rather use my phone to tell the time.

If someone wants to wear a watch and they think it looks nice, then fair enough. Each to their own - but another over a grand? Really?

It's an extremely uncomfortable 20 seconds and I do not enjoy it.
People who don't have trouble reading time don't have a delay like that. That's what I'm saying.

That's £360 for 800 minutes a month and unlimited texts.
Would you say that's a ridiculous amount of money?

No. Not talking about deals and stuff. I mean the actual phone, like a grand for a phone, what can it do other than phone people?

I can't piss under pressure either, it doesn't mean I have problems using the toilet.

Under pressure, I crumble.

I agree.
£360 for a year is great come to think of it.
When I was on PAYG, it'd be £100-£150 for the actual phone and then £20 a week on top ups etc.

It's all about accessorizing I guess, watches to match you shoes and belts, etc. I guess if you have the money and you love watches then I doubt they'll see it as a problem. And then begins the life isn't fair anthem, lol

Clothes, fashion, stuff like that in general.

To clarify - £100 on a dress? £200? £100 on shoes? However much on a great looking suit? Absolutely fine, if its a very nice dress and you have a pressing need to look fantastic.

More than that, on something that looks like a cat died of dysentery and its remains were skillfully cut into a shape inspired by the contents of Jaw's stomach combined with a Duplicolour factory? SCREW YOU WITH A RAKE.
