Last year someone gave me a pair of Sennheiser headphones—dead ass gave them to me. I was ballin’. I got to be a homeless person with an iPhone 12 and a pair of Sennheisers. And then my idiot friend set off a series of unfortunate events that resulted in the loss of my headphones, along with everything else I owned at the time.
So last month when this very sweet devout Christian saw a comment of mine about being a homeless drug addict, and sent me $300. I bought a new pair of Sennheisers on Mercari. I’m pretty sure it was the same model even.
I finally got around to checking my mail and—the headphones are fucked off. They won’t pair or fucking anything.
I had to fight the screaming urge to slam them on the ground.
I’m sure you’ve never splurged on anything before. Being unhoused comes with the added burden of people expecting financial perfection from you. But responses like yours are literal cruelty.

$300 is now like 2 weeks of groceries, and about 15% of the cheapest monthly rent in my area.
I’d argue the psychological benefit of being able to listen to music properly outweighs that. This person doesn’t need financial advice, they need levels of support that simply aren’t fucking available in this country to those who have no money already.
So first point, I 100% understand the need for an escape when your living situation is precarious. I’ve been there. That being said…
has no money
buys $300 cans
dies of dysentery on the Oregon trail
I hope you get dysentery
I mean let’s be real: $300 can easily feed you a month if we’re just talking sustenance. And sure, buy a cheap$10 pair of ear buds, but blowing your load on higher end headphones when you’re living in the fucking street, can’t feed yourself, and are relying on the charity of others is fucking idiotic.
Shut the fuck up nerd
No. It’s an open forum. Get fucked.
Shut the fuck up nerd

Shut the fuck up nerd

Nope. Get fucked.
Try it cracker let’s see how long you last
I speak from experience child. I’ve slept on more benches, in more moldy basements, and more beaches than I care to remember. Also, way to be a racist piece of shit.
Shut the fuck up cracker
Oh no, I’ll never be able to recover from such deep burns. Whatever will I do now that you’ve pierced me right to my core?!
Shut up nerd
I mean imagine buying something to keep your morale up when you’re stuck in a miserable situation. Send them money or shut the fuck up, and also shut the fuck up either way. Hope you suffer a tragedy soon, bye.
Wow damn I read your deleted comments and you’re a fuckin piece of shit, never come back fuck you
lmao fuck off
Aawh, did somebody just learn how to troll? Cute.
hey why not kill yourself instead of badgering homeless people? you’ll do the world a favor
Fuck off, you sanctimonious removed
Speaking logic and truth is sanctimonious now?
Finally, the unspoken truth and logic unhoused people need to hear:
“Spend money better idiot”
You nailed it.
You should run a financial literacy class for unhoused people
They can all pull up in their Cadillacs wearing Gucci and learn to buy housing instead of avocado toast
My mind is blown just thinking about it right now, I wonder why homelessness is even a problem?
It must be because we just don’t have enough people to talk down to them
Cool, so you’ll be dead soon and the world will be better off for it.
Allah willing.
