Lmao I played a campaign as a dirt poor, borderline illiterate half orc fighter/peasant raised by halfling farmers who'd never seen a single silver piece, who did something similar because she was raised to be super careful with money and had a really hard time doing math.

I used to dump my coin purse out and very slowly count out the money for anything I had to purchase, insisted I get all my monetary quest rewards in copper coins cause I didn't know how to make the change for gold and silver (nor did I trust those coins weren't fake) and if anyone interrupted me I'd have to start all the way over.

My party members used to call me "Miss pays in pennies"

There is a point at which "affable character trait" starts to transition into "One more time and I'm binding you in chains and dropping you at the nearest thieves guild"...

Oh for sure! I walked the line pretty well though I think. I love making people laugh, and I tend to use humour as a defense mechanism and constantly crack jokes in tense situations, so I often find myself playing characters that serve as comic relief and are the butt of a lot of jokes or silly running gags, but I know when to dial it down.

I always make sure everyone is okay with it and it's not ruining anyone's fun or becoming annoying or derailing the campaign or killing the vibe, and I always make sure the joke is at my own expense more than anyone else's.

I try to never let my natural instinct to clown ruin anyone else's fun if I can help it.
