No links, just text. If you're out booze cruising, you'll notice that poors often have their entire dashboard covered in random paperwork. Doesn't matter what kind of vehicle, as long as it's cheap and poorly maintained.

Why is this such a common behavior? What documents could they possibly have that are so damn important, they need to be on the dash? You really don't have an afternoon once a month to go through it and get rid of what you don't need?

As a secondary, you also know they're driving slow as shit everywhere because otherwise the papers would fall.

Goddammit I hate poors.

I want to create a post on Reddit (in bad faith ) asking this question, just to get the expected responses

1. "they're too busy trying to survive under capitalism"

2. "what does it matter to you, it doesn't affect you"

3. "idk what you're talking about, I'm friends with multimillionaires who have random papers covering their dashboard and empty coffee cups on the passenger seat"

4. because I'll specifically call them the poors instead of poor people.

Then I'll ask a similar question asking why Hispañols drive slow as shit, too. Like they're afraid to get it above 1,200rpm. Expected response there is "they're being safe and maybe you need to learn some patience" (when they pull out in front of you on a country road)

I was wondering why I was doing all these no tip orders for diapers and candy (I'm not exaggerating holy shit so much junk food and baby formula) but why are the orders always for a few items but the fee I'm getting is like 8 bucks to drive a few miles? You'd think they'd order more so it's worth the exorbitant fee.

>What If You Could Increase Your Rental Yield By 70% And Have Your Tenants Love You For It?

I'm worried people won't want to rent my place?

We understand your concern! However, we've found that SomiPods can actually attract high-quality tenants, and we have tons of testimonials to support that. Here's why:

• Luxury living in a smaller space: Many renters in high-cost-of-living cities prioritize quality over square footage. SomiPods offer a luxurious sleep experience with all the essentials (outlets, lights, mirrors) in a compact, private environment.

• Appealing to modern preferences: Today's renters, especially young professionals, often value privacy and a sense of community. SomiPods provide individual sleeping pods while maintaining access to shared living areas like kitchens and living rooms.

• Modernize your property: SomiPods can give your rental a modern and innovative edge, making it stand out from competitors.

• Target the right audience: When advertising your rental property with SomiPods, highlight the benefits for the target renter who values efficient use of space, privacy, and a luxurious sleep experience.

By positioning SomiPods as an amenity that caters to modern renters' needs, you can increase your chances of attracting high-quality tenants who will appreciate the unique living experience you offer.

Why do people here .. ?

You show people a way they can save a lot of money eating out (apps, save 50% or more)

So they lecture you that instead of eating out you should spend hours shopping and making everything from scratch like you're some kind of a farm family Like, some of us don't like to eat out or do it for convenience?

Or, why do people eat out when poor people can't afford it? How about this: you might be too poor but some of us like to if that's okay with you!!

They do that to steal your data! Like, using credit cards or loyalty retail cards or when they have your email or phone number, They don't also get your data?

A couple of other details:

• $320 a month for cigs and booze

• $200 for "fitness"

• $150 phone

• $100 eating out

• $80 App purchases

• No car so he ubers sometimes.

• 2 Big dogs

How was he even approved for this rental lol that's crazy.

So this is a complete compilation of all of LPG's posts on the /o/ board. He was a used car salesman and had countless examples of the most mind boggling financial self destruction. Tale after tale of poors deciding that yes, 29% apr on a car loan is perfectly fine if it means not having to be seen in a hyundai anymore.

This collection of stories is the perfect distillation of peakpoors, and I hope you all enjoy
