Why do people don't like hand me downs?
So me and my friend had an argument about my phone… It went like this
Me: Hey I got a different phone!
Friend: What is it?
Me: Samsung Sidekick.
Friend: Sidekicks are old
Me: Well it's my cousin's old phone.
Friend: YOU GOT A USED PHONE? THAT'S So UNCOOL MAN. Like I'm not even joking. Getting hand me down stuff isn't cool.
Me: Well… AT LEAST I HAVE A PHONE.
Friend: But still… You're gonna be uncool in the future.
I thought to my self… " AT LEAST I HAVE A PHONE OKAY. They're people who don't have one OR can't afford to have one. So what if it's a used phone how are people going to know it is used? My family can't afford to get me an iPhone. If I have a phone… It's all good to me it's a mini upgrade. Unlike the spoiled you that begged for an iPhone… Sorry for not being rich."
I'm sorry for ranting… And also for clothes… WHY DO PEOPLE HATE USED THINGS! LIKE AT LEAST YOU HAVE IT RIGHT OR HAVE AT LEAST SOMETHING.
Well, "Kim Yoo Mi," most KOREANS don't, but others are fine with it.
Is your dialogue from two Koreans in conversation?
Wouldn't surprise me.
Vain, vain, vain.
I guess people just like that fact that they have the newest thing on the market. It is pretty much ego driven. They feel like they need to be seen with the biggest and best new things. As for clothes, I could see why you may not be comfortable wearing someone else's clothes.
Well, That's awesome that your appreciative of what you get… And yeah, these people are spoiled. Everybody wants everything new, and expensive even if it's going to drive them into dept. And that was immature of your friend. Just as ridiculous as people wanting only a certain name brand, or they won't appreciate it. Nothing wrong with that stuff though. But they shun everything that ain't that.
Beats me. I guess some people just want to have the best of the best, or feel entitled to certain things. I say hating on something just because it's used is pretty uncool.
The only good reasons to hate a hand-me-down are as follows:
It is damaged
It smells
It is really ugly / not your style
It is useless to you or doesn't fit correctly
I'm glad you can appreciate what you are given!
Well i'd rather have a phone where I can call and text than be cool
- Why people like iPhones? I can't never get people who like iphones to give a good reason, why? Some say it easy, but a lot have no clue on how to use their own phones. Can someone explain something useful that great about iphone? Everything they think is special other phones have been doing for years.
- Why don't people just listen to music on their iphone why buy a ipod? I know some mobile devices aren't good with organizing music but the iphone is good with that so why?
- Why don't many people like the iPhone 5c? The iPhone 5c isn't really the best phone. It acts like any other iPhone. I have a 5c. It's cheap. So if people don't have very much money. This would be a great phone. Apple doesn't show many commercials about it anymore. It's people just hate it. What's wrong with it?
- Why do some people like to act like iPhones and iPads are status symbols? If it were, I mean you'd have the whole lifestyle to keep up. But a lot of people buy them. I'll admit they're both convenient but I find it a little weird to think anything of owning one. (This is in general, and not directed towards how people act to me - just my observation).
