35 Things “Rich People” Do That Others Find Inconsiderate And Annoying

Money may not "buy" happiness, but poverty definitely buys misery.

Money buys choices. Less money = fewer choices.

Money shouldn't have to buy medical care.

"Money can't buy happiness" was always supposed to be advice for rich people. They're the ones who attempt to acquire more money to make themselves happier when they're already past the point where it doesn't work anymore.

It doesn't buy happiness but it does buy peace of mind...

This needs to be higher. I have people in my family who have no concept that this is a real thing and I can't count the number of times I've been told or yelled at for saying I don't have time.

There are so many time sucks to being poor like public transit on top of likely living farther from your job because that's where the cheap housing is, the laundromat, etc. In the US, there are some that I suspect not be as common in some other places. Being unbanked, so you have to go in person to pay all your bills. Living in a food desert, so you don't have a normal grocery store nearby. Not having health insurance, so you end up waiting for hours at clinics or even the emergency room for care others could simply make an appointment for. The time suck for these things diminish greatly with basic middle-class income. However, when you get to upper middle class, you can buy back even more time. You hire people to do life's mundane tasks for you. You hire a cleaner/gardener. If you have a child, you may have a nanny in your home rather than day care. You pay for delivery services. This is before you even get to rich, where you may have full time assistants, cooks, driver, etc.

Exactly, we don't have staff to take care of everything...we have to do all of that ourselves and maintain a job.

They spend time on a bus during election campaigns.

This is why the voting restriction laws they're passing in the U.S. are so unfair. When voting is restricted to a particular polling place, over a limited number of hours on just one day, a lot of poorer people can't get time off work to go vote. Then they reduce the number of polling locations and poll workers in a lot of those neighborhoods, so that they have to wait in line for hours. Then they say poor people are apathetic because they don't vote.

Really rich people can afford expensive accountants who know all the loopholes in tax laws. Poor people just have to shut up and pay.

And they brag about the way they avoid taxes. Have you no shame?

tax on wage/salary income is the among the worst atrocities committed against people.

In the US you pay 37% taxes if you make $518,000 single or $622,000 a year married. That's not enough. Seriously? How about worrying about wasted taxpayers dollars instead. Now you don't even want to go there.

Tax the "Rich"...they will still be "Rich"

This phallic rocket is soooo similar to a peeing d***

Not many people know this, but Bezos wanted the rocket to look like himself, and i think it looks just like him.

Welllll, I think that's isolated incidents and only if you're trying to make rate-which you are NOT required to do. It's actually a good company to work for. It just gets a lot of bad press.

Exploiting the poor...that's the way to become a billionaire.

Theres a petition flr him not to come back to earth were almost at enough signatures https://www.change.org/p/the-proletariat-do-not-allow-jeff-bezos-to-return-to-earth

Rich folks can afford doctors, catering, NOT WORKING. Remember when Kim Kardashian was bored of social distancing, so she threw a party on a private island? Rich folks weren't crammed inside an apartment for 16 months with roommates. COVID does not impact the rich and the poor equally.

Remember how Ellen said she was so bored

"We're all in this together" they say while sitting in their family room....which is 5 times the size of my apartment.

I am struggling in my large 30 rooms mansion with giant garden and a large pool, with my stuff cooking and cleaning for me every day. How freaking awful for you! I had to be quarantined in one bedroom apartment without even balcony and I couldn't even throw away garbage (in Europe you have to go out), so it started to smell... But I can relate to the mansion thing, sure.

This one makes me sick. Y’all celebrities can suffer! What do you think your life turns into with all of that money getting to your head?! That’s right, it’s like hell in that mansion that you scoff at. Oh by the way I am not a celebrity if you want my autograph or something lol ;)

it's not so much rich kids that bother me with this - it's the mainstream middle-class who had the option of falling back on their parents if they failed, taking risks that would destroy people without that option.

I think the saying is: "They were born on 3rd base and they try to convince people they hit a triple."

It's like this scene from le petit Nicolas: the rich kid is saying how his dad got rich "One day, my dad picked up an apple and sold it for 1 euro, then he bought 2 apples and sold them for 2 euros, then his uncle died and he inherited"

Ahem (cough)trump

I read a really great article about this a while back, can't find it now though. The essence was that "self-made" means that they built their company/ies themself, they didn't inherit a fully working company. Sure, they get a lot of help from their families, but they still come up with a working product. As it said in the article, if I got 500 millions, I would sooner spend 500 millions than being able to make it into 1 billion.
