Default Least baller thing you regularly do?

Hey guys, I think this would make an interesting thread. We all know pretty baller things that people do, such as buy $10k espresso machines or tip 20% of the bill at dinner. How about not baller things?

I'll start it off. When I go out to places, I always bring a knapsack/backpack with me. Inside this backpack can be found a 750ml plastic bottle filled with tap water. This has multiple uses, none of them baller:

a) At a restaurant that serves bottled water, I can go unthirsty without ordering overpriced branded water

b) At a fast food restaurant such as McDonald's, I can save money by ordering a burger and a small fries, instead of the value meal. The burger and small fries is cheaper than a value meal! The reason I get a small fries is because I cannot finish a medium fries.

c) When strolling along the street and I get thirsty, instead of going to a convenience store and buying a bottle of some drink, I can satisfy my liquid desires with my own water bottle

d) At a Cinema or Movie Theater or Stadium I can drink this water instead of the overpriced stuff inside. I have a hidden pocket in my backpack that is not usually searched by the guards, if I open the main zipper for them to see

So that's me. What's your least baller thing?

When I go to Taco Bell I order all my stuff, get to the window, pay and get my food. Then I say, "oh, I forgot, can I get some sour cream and quacamole?" The person almost always pauses, shrugs, and goes back to get it. Saves me like $1.50 or whatever.

The creation of this thread is probably less baller than at least 55% of the responses that will follow.

Here's something I don't do anymore but I regularly did back in college when I was a broke mofo. The University of Miami food court had 3 or 4 restaurants under one roof, with a couple of soda fountains between them. You would buy a soft drink at the counter, they would give you a cup, then you would fill that cup at the self-serve fountain. I would just buy a cup once, use it, then wash it out and stash it in my backpack to re-use the next day.

But that's not really "un-baller," it's just stealing.

So in a similar vein, I download MP3s illegally instead of buying the CD for $15.

That's not baller, that's standard.

Just use wrinkle release, it's so much better than spending time ironing.
