You know you're ghetto when...
You have no money
1) You're standing in line for fast food, you order two baskets of shrimp, plus another of chicken - THEN as they ring it up, you notice the cash sign, look into your wallet, and notice NOTHING. The cashier is nice and says there is a ATM machine in the store. You walk over try it, but your stupid de-magnetized card doesn't work. You run back to the cashier, and say, can you wait some more, your card is de-magnitized. She says, go over to Carl's Junior. You think rather than spend the money on that different machine fee, you walk over to the supermarket (the whole time you're super dressed up, in heels) and then call to see if your family truly needs the chicken and shrimp - and they say no. So you stop.
So choices:
A) Go to the gas, and then decide should I go get money and get the food?
B) Or should I be ghetto and go back and say sorry, my card is busted and I'm broke.
C) Finally, should I be super ghetto and drive away?
Um, choice C was picked. Can't head into that Popeyes anymore.
2) You have big country singer hair and need a haircut, but it's gotten so bad you need a haircut NOW! So instead of being real ghetto and going to any hair stylist on the street, you call your regular stylist - who is coincidentally preggers and is totally going to pop, and so her schedule is very full. But because you're a regular client, she makes an exception.
Only that you're 30 minutes late, and she makes another exception and fits you in.
But because you were late, you didn't have cash again (money goes straight to chocolate and boba, baby!) and had to rush over to the ATM - only the stupid card doesn't work in the nearby cafe ATM, so you quietly slip out feeling lame - and go to the supermarket - to buy a drink and get money.
And because the stylist is fitting you in, she doesn't have time to think about what she's doing - so your country hair has become well - it's still country, i guess - it's a mullet now.
3) You decide to be a good kid and take out your parents, and decide on the BEST. Only the restaurant they choose is again CASH ONLY.
So you tell your parents to pay, and get the money out of your account.
ok, all three happened to me :/
