What was the dumbest shyt you did to get money to buy a game or something as a child?

Rich/spoiled kids need not apply


Back in like 2003 after playing the Viewtiful Joe demo, I was fiending for the game. My pops(RIP) used to leave me money on the dresser every week to get food or get a haircut. Well, my oldest brother used to cut hair so I skipped buying food outside one week and then took the money to get a haircut and returned some old games to Gamestop to get credit to buy it. I made my other brother cut my hair with our oldest brother's clippers.

That haircut was so bad.

Spoiler

I was looking worse than this.

My Mom was like "Who gave you that haircut!?"


I think I lied and said the barber did or something I can't remember exactly, this was like 20 years ago

shyt was worth it though, Viewtiful Joe was crack Nowadays it's so funny how buying a game felt like a big deal as a kid.

When I was in middle school I filled out a bunch of those online surveys so I could get a “free Xbox 360”. Spent like 3 hours one night down an internet rabbit hole

Didn’t get the 360 but I did somehow get a free copy of Kanye’s Kate Registration album mailed to me like 3 weeks later, which I eventually burned and downloaded to my 360 hard drive

Stupid as fukk looking back on it now but it eventually all came full circle (don’t even axe me how )

Nothing my mama was the plug, I had all the games I wanted because I never dropped off the honor roll in school and if I didn’t have a game my neighbors had it so I’d go over to their house to jam
