    “Yes, I upgraded it, thank you for noticing”

    I tend to be responsible with my money, and if I upgraded I would have budgeted for it

    Me: “That’s a nice new handbag you got there.”

    The upside of my wife’s thing for expensive handbags is that don’t get any grief when I buy new bike or computer stuff.

        My husband and I have a similar rule: “Can we still afford rent?”

        If yes, then I don’t care how many Warhammer minis you get, as long as you don’t get angry when I get an antique collection of tuning forks for no reason.

            … I lied, it was only one. I didn’t want to get into my actual hobby right now which is the collection of fancy isopods.

            One of ‘em looks like a jelly bean. It’s awesome.

              Have you seen Serpa Design’s isopod habitats?? They’re so cool! He’s made full on display enclosures for just isopods- working waterfalls and everything.

              A collection of 1 is still a collection. But now, I want to see this forbidden jelly bean.

    The slight defensive tone I imagine to read in some of these comments makes the meme even better

    Not sim racing related but same vibe. I collect records and one of the local shops has a sign over the register that says they’ll make a receipt that says you spent whatever amount you want for $5
