    I told you my economic background whether you wanna believe it or not.

    People aren’t having trouble making ends meet because theyre buying energy drinks.

    I’ve personally worked with dozens of people that literally fit this exact description.

    Dudes that would unironically chug 2 monsters a day and then complain about how tight money was.

    Mate you just blew 1/7th of what you made today on two fucking drinks

    Then they’d ask me if I wanna get drinks with them after work.

    These are extremely real people and honestly, the quantity of people I met who lived like this VASTLY outnumbered people closer to my lifestyle.

    Simple shit love me going “I don’t drink” “I don’t party” “I don’t smoke” “I don’t have a car, I walk to work” and etc would fucking blow people’s minds.

    “What do you do all weekend???” “Uh, play video games, work out, read, watch anime, go for hikes, pick up extra shifts…?”

    Also don’t even get me started on the even worse people that constantly always complained about money, yet always were trying to get other people to take their shifts for them, get cut early, etc.

    “I don’t understand why I’m not getting any shifts” Mate you literally keep giving them to other people, you understand you actually have to work to get paid right?

    Sorry but this was like easy 60% of people I constantly dealt with at every fuckin job I worked. You get like 20% of people busting ass actually giving a fuck. 20% quiet folks that work and keep to themselves, and then like 60% of people that you honestly have to ask yourself “how the fuck did this person even make it this far”

    I regret to inform you that if you think I’m bullshitting here, you may just need to look in the mirror and confront the fact you are in the 60% group…
