-Plastic bag on relaxer clad hair in public.

-Ate a fried chicken drumstick like it was the last fucking food on earth, in the wallmart parking lot..but before we even got to the car. I ripped that shit out in mid stride and created a step, step, bite chicken, check my nails, wipe my mouth, step step pattern.

-Explaining to my white husband what "ashy" skin is and why I must have lotion at all times as I use the "Tester" lotion in the store and put it on.

-Using tacobell napkins for toilet paper when we ran out. Yes they hurt.

-Taking massive bag of pennies to the store to get cigs at odd hours, counting them while people waited in line behind me.

-Brought massive bag of pennies to the penny counter machine at odd hours at Safeway then proceeded to shop for groceries.

got many more but tl;dr lol. :D

Boy can I relate to a lot of those lol. I used to rip coinstar up with some pennies.

I mean I keep Cocoa butter in my glove box incase of Emergency Ash outbreaks. You have to keep lotion around, real talk.

Man a black woman and her hair is nothing to fuck with. The plastic bag on your head while trying to do your hair is no joke. My mom used to do that shit after she would spent 2 hours in the mirror with a hot comb and shit. You want to piss a sista off, fuck with her hair.

[Mistress Stowastiq]

Yes sir he is Caucasian.

LOL cocoa butter is the shit. Fucking makes me hungry for chocolate dammit. Hot combs should be outlawed fucking instruments of torture and the smell of burnt hair in the morning.

Ok more rl incidents of ghettodom:

-Asking husband to take me to the hood to find black hair products and trying to explain why Asian people run all of the black people supply stores.

-Getting my hair done in some one's garage floor at odd hours and tipping her more than the cost of the do.

-Taking husband to beautician and make him wait for me to get braided while trying to explain to him why the beautician was eating ribs in between answering phone, talking shit, doing hair and watching her kids.

-Doing the switch on utilities to avoid shut off.( Paying electricity bill with check written to phone company causes a delay.)

My momma taught me that one back in the day... STOWASTIQ ilu!

Thats how gangstas do.

[Ragnell]

I dont even know what that shit means

[Ragnell]

When we lost power (hurricanes) we used those old fucking laterns witht he Oil and the little belt in the middle and you lit that shit.

Lol <3
the phone call "Oh my goodness, I am SO SORRY I must have been busy doing my taxes, I will get that payment to you right away..." Oh how nice it was before their databases all went computerized, central bio-scan.

Speaking of ghetto, I find it hilarious how GhettoPCS (MetroPcs) will not put up with shit. They know broke-ass people from check cashing centers are using their service because they cant get any other service.

From the start they never allowed any kind of billing lateness crap. No late notice bills, they turn your phone off at midnight on the minute of the day after due date. At&t sends a notice while you are actually days late: "Did you forget to pay your bill?" lol

So to add to the list:
-Going to check cashing centers.
Paying the bill at the store is hilarious because I love watching people blow a gasket at the counter when they can't get their service restored. It's like watching people make a scene at Comcast right before a big pay per view fight or seeing people flip out at check cashing centers because their 3rd party checks got denied.

When at resturants I sometimes take the silverware and salt and pepper if I can fit them in my pockets home with me so I don't have to buy them. I also have 6 bottles if Red Robin's seasoning from their resturant in my cupboard because that stuff tastes good on anything I cook.

[Diamicles]

Put kool aid in an ice tray with toothpicks to make popsicles, among other things listed in this thread.

Grocery bags over my shoes in wet weather

Venice has something called high water, where the lagoon's tide goes up a lot more then usual and floods the whole place
I had a meeting with a professor so i dressed nicely that day (tie, black suit, polished leather shoes)... halfway there the tide came in and I was like FUCK.
Water up to the knee.... i bought a big black rubbish bag and used it as a sort of potato-sack race implement not to get wet.

[Zalius]

BAGEL DO YOU REALLY HAVE CHICKEN DINOSAURS

I JUST MADE CHICKEN DINOSAURS

[Mistress Stowastiq]

Lol potato-sack race, very visual description!

My husband was just reading this over my shoulder and he said:

"Be sure to put eating condiments from little packets from mc'd's for dinner, I used to do that shit when I had no food."

"And put that you have a coat hanger as a curtain tie back on curtains hung with fucking nails."

Ten minutes later he pokes his head in the room and says, "Don't forget I caught you putting paper towels on the end of a stick and using it for a mop."

@Bagel:
Om nom nom at the sweet and sour chicken and instant rice recipe. My Puerto Rican mom is rolling over in her grave knowing I eat instant rice though...sometimes with ketchup.
