I'm not poor and I do that >_>

I've done that lmao

Hey! I do that and I'm not poor

Pretty sure Sharpies are the same price if not more than shoe polish. Plus the shoe polish will shine and give a uniform look while protecting the leather. If you're that poor you should take care of what you already own!

I'm actually not Canadian. I'm a Michigander. For some reason it marked me as living in Canada.

OP here. To everyone who says that sharpies are expensive, they are. But I never said that it was my sharpie to begin with lol. I asked my friend if I could borrow hers. My dress shoes are from high school and I noticed they finally were getting a bit worn out, so I needed a quick fix, and just did the first thing that came to mind. The sharpie actually made them look pretty good. I am new shoes soon, once things are paid off since all my money right now is going to bills, gas, and groceries, and I mainly have the internet because of school. Also, I don't know where people are getting that I own a smart phone, because I don't. I have a Samsung T404G, which is a cheap Walmart Straight Talk phone. I can't stand smart phones. It's fun being an adult, is it not? :)

Totally do that so I feel for ya

People have been marked as Canadian for weird reasons, I'm not too sure why, though. YAY CANADIANS!!!!!!! I is from Canada. Eh?

Not poor-- creative!

i live on my own and am a student so i completely understand how much a dollar can stretch. This by no means is an FML - i had to go through half this winter with torn boots, having to dry my feet under anonymous hand dryers because it was ridiculous to buy an expensive pair at the time. Having to use a sharpie on your shoes for spots is nothing, at least they're durable and they complete their function at the end of the day. no need to get a new pair unless that stops.

Dont worry, you arent alone, my tv is on an upside down trash can

And that is how to tell if someone is a slob at first glance; look at their shoes. Untidy shoes = lazy/messy.
