lilgish said:

OMG!!! Yes we are!! I used to tape the Saturday Night club mix and the Sunday morning Jazz show.....

....but if you ever took your cassettes apart and used tiny pieces of scotch tape to fix them shits when they popped, then you sir are ghetto!!

reneGade20 said:

my uncle taught me how to do that

DanceWme said:

We used to put pieces of scotch tape on videos too, if they got stuck in the VCR. I saved many a videotape in my day!

I want to add:

You know you ghetto if you used windex or rubbing alcohol to get your CDs to play if they were scratched (this actually works!!)
You know you ghetto when you use seasoning salt on EVERYTHING you cook
You know you ghetto when somebody asked for some food and you give them S-O-M-E.

Example:
"Kristi can I get some of your chips?"
(Kristi counts out four pieces) "Here. "S-O-M-E. Don't ask for no more.
You know you ghetto when you got an aunt or uncle who always says: "You ain't knowin nothin bout that there."

Don't be ashamed. Embrace the ghettoness.

x 999. This whole thread is awful, and I fit right the fuck in.

Fauxie said:

That used to totally be my bathroom. Knocking empty bottles all over the place with my knees in the shower, unwilling to throw them out because it means we didn't have shit other than Suave 99cent shampoo!


Is this ya'll? That's fascinating, honestly. I could do that, no problem. Moisten, scrub, throw.


Scary.


This is where my boss asked me if everything was okay. FUCK!





Fucking awful.

Fauxie said:

I missed that one.

So True.

Furniture made of milk crates/cinder blocks? maybe that's more "you know you're in college when..."

I'd say nearly three-quarters of those ones I wrote apply to us, and the others are just things I've seen. Yep, we shower with a tap, a stone tub of water and a bucket. Thais know how to do ghetto.

I guess planting flowers out in the front yard in old paint pots is kinda ghetto too.

I use hot sauce

Man This is without a doubt the funniest thread I've ever read on the org, My wife thinks i'm crazy for laughing at the computer monitor.

You know you ghetto if you've ever said "you know you ghetto" outside the context of this thread.

You know your ghetto when as a child on schooldays your butt was never in the house before 10pm

You know your ghetto when you and about 10 kids in your neighborhood careened down the hill(onto a busy intersection) on your street in a shopping cart for fun....and yes my little stoopid behind was on of the kids sitting in the basket.

You are ghetto of you ever partook in any kissing or humping games with all the other neighborhood kids....like 7 min. in heaven

You are ghetto if you smoked weed before the age of 13 and know that roaches are not just bugs (I stopped smoking weed when I turned 11...dayumm!)

You are ghetto if your mom grew marijuana plants in the crib

You are ghetto if you were ever taught to distrust the police

sadly all these apply to me

Were you listening to my phone convo last night?

YOU'RE GHETTO IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE SPARKLERS ON THE 4TH OF JULY AND YOU PUT SOS PADS ON A HANGER AND LIT THEM!

YOU'RE GHETTO IF YOU USE A 2 LITER POP BOTTLE, HEAT A KNIFE AND BURN A HOLE IN THE CAP TO USE IT AS YOU'RE WATER BOTTLE WHEN YOU BARBECUE

YOU'RE GHETTO IF YOU USE THE RED CHITLIN BUCKET AS A TRASH CAN.

AND YOU ARE REALLY GHETTO IF YOU LEAVE YOUR HOUSE IN YOUR PAJAMA'S TO GROCERY SHOP
