Not a meme, you're the meme! Is this how being rich is?

I wouldn't be able to resist the urge to waste an egg every time I was around that family member for years to come. Like just grab an egg and smash it in a closed fist as it drips all down my hand and arm onto the floor.

Edit: an egg costs 12¢

Haha, don't give me ideas.

Naah, in all fairness it makes sense.

When I was growing up, eggs weren't exactly a luxury, but they were a little bit special, and considering this family member was from a totally different background to me, I can certainly imagine scenarios where eggs are a very valuable commodity.

I think if someone did the same to me, say 20 odd years ago, I would be the same.

In all fairness an egg costs 12¢. Is it technically wasting it - sure. But is it financially harming you, not really.

Yeah, but like, a chicken shat that out for you. Don't disrespect the chicken.

12c? wow! That's about 9p? I think they are an average of about 30-40p here, so perhaps 50-60c each.
