Rich-Kid-Syndrome-Stories
Met this guy off of tinder hooked up a couple times and while hanging out one day it came out that he was rich. But not just normal rich, rich to the extent that his family had staff who's only job it was to polish the silverware. While I was reeling from that news he proceeded to preach to me that he knew that those staff members had such wonderful fulfilling lives, because they were helping to keep 'the house' afloat and running smoothly. Did not see him again after that.

I am the "rich kid". Had the ephiphany of how good I had it after I went to college. I literally didn't even know my family was rich. Like I knew we had money but I didn't see what everyone else saw. We lived in a 7,400 square foot house while the rest of my friends had 2-3,000 square foot homes. I didn't see the difference. I just thought "They have a house, and I have a house. Seems fair". I got a brand new Audi on my 17th birthday and the rest of my friends drove pontiacs and toyotas. I thought "They have a car, and I have a car". It just literally never clicked in my head. So I guess my rich kid syndrome is jaded ignorance. How misguided I was.

Girl in college kept putting her clothes on the floor and then would knock on the RAs door and tell her the clothes were piling up. Our RA was a foreign exchange student but such a sweetheart and she was actually washing the clothes to be nice for like 2 months. The floor told the RA to stop and scolded the girl to do her own laundry. She was absolutely insulted that she had to do laundry to the point where she ended up re-wearing clothes or throwing them out and just buying new ones

In college there was this girl sort of in our friend group that came from a wealthy family. When discussing plans for the summer there were some people planning a trip together and she overheard someone say they wish they could go, but they couldn't afford it. Her response was, "I don't understand, why don't you just have your parents pay for it?" She had always had her parents pay for everything and she genuinely thought it was the same for everyone.

I went to a private school with a gigantic discount because my father has taught there for nearly 20 years at this point. Oh the stories I could tell. One kid flew to Florida for a dentist appointment. One kid bought a jeep with a credit card. At one point we had an ATM on campus for some reason. Someone found a receipt for a withdrawal from a checking account which still had $900,000 in it. I went on a field trip where we stayed in a hotel for a few nights and my roommate couldn't understand why I didn't want to go to a different hotel where we would both pay $100 per night when I only had $100 to last the entire week. I could go on.

This one is kinda mild I guess, but goes to show how clueless wealthy kids can be, completely unaware of the disparity between them and average income people. Anyways he picked me up in a new $85,000 sportscar one day. The newest Corvette special edition model fresh off the line. I said wow dude your car is incredible. He said he wished everyone knew he had to work a full month with his Grandfather and earned it himself.

When I was at summer camp one year we were waking up one morning and rich kid goes “man these mattresses suck, I’m gunna have to call my chiropractor when I get home.” The looks he got made him realize that most 12 year olds don’t have a chiropractor on call.

Had a kid that lived across the hall from me my freshman year of college from Honduras. During one of the ice breakers after freshman move in he leaned to me to ask if I knew when the maids came to make his bed/clean. I guess his family was very well off in his home country and the entire semester was an eye opener for him in actually taking care of himself.

My ex wife used to drive a 1998 Honda Accord. She treated it badly and so one day I got into it to drive somewhere and I noticed that it was falling apart. I had two options; junkyard or sell it, and so I put it on Craigslist for $250. I thought it could go to a low income family that had someone with some know how who could semi restore it, but when I meet the buyer he was not who I expected. He pulled up in a brand new Escalade and told me that he that his son was spoiled. His son had crashed a BMW, Mercedes, and an Audi and so he was done buying him nice cars. Turns out, this guy purchased my car as a way of torturing his son.Rich-Kid-Syndrome-Stories
Dad bought his college aged daughter a house in a VERY nice neighborhood so that she and her friends could live rent free while they attended university. He remodeled the entire house. In all he probably spent close to $2 million. Two weeks after moving in, they left a candle burning while they went to the store to get snacks for a football game. Came home and the house was on fire. A month later, it was good a new for them to move back in.

Not exactly "rich kid syndrome," but there was this family that had two children who attended the elementary school that was connected to my middle school. Every day the two parents would leave the house and drive separately to pick up their two kids before returning home. I should mention at this point that they each drove a Lamborghini, one black and one orange, back-to-back in the pick up line to get their kids from elementary school. At first I thought they were just being showy, but then I realized that they were two seaters, so this was really the only way to do it.Rich-Kid-Syndrome-Stories
Girl I went to high school with got a Mercedes for her 16th birthday. Complained and moaned about the fact that she didn't get a Lexus, because her name was Lexi and she thought it would be "sooooo cool!" for Lexi to drive a Lexus with a custom license plate saying "Lexi". Her parents did cave and buy her a Lexus for her 17th birthday.Rich-Kid-Syndrome-Stories
Gf family is wealthy, she’s working her way to it. But, she was waiting to get a chance for a promotion and the words “I cannot believe anyone would make somebody work for almost a year to get a promotion” came out of her mouth. And I laughed.

A Saudi guy in the UK got in a crash, with light damage to one side of brand new Mercedes. He called for one of his assistants to come get him, even though the car was fully driveable. My friend rolled up on call with his tow truck and asked the guy where he wanted the MErc towed. The guy gave him the keys and said "Keep it; I don't want it.'

A girl in my school was "surprised" by her parents in the school's parking lot with a new BMW. A freaking BMW. Everyone who is out is basically watching this go down and she starts crying. At first we are all thinking its because she's so happy but then she runs back into the school. Apparently they were supposed to show up earlier (I'm assuming when there would be more students to witness the surprise). I felt bad for the Dad because he looked totally embarrassed and sad about it. You know in his head he's like, "I created this monster".Show All 23 Upvotes

Hey Pandas, What Lies Have TV Taught You?
That when a woman is not interested, the man has to persist and eventually she'll come around. No honey, it's called harassment and stalking.Hey Pandas, What Lies Have TV Taught You?
That gravity only works when you look down. I was so sad when that didn't work. I got a broken arm from it.Hey Pandas, What Lies Have TV Taught You?
The way kids and teens are to look. Because the companies don't want all of the hassles of hiring actors of the correct age or writing about real life. Ex: All teenage girls in shows are "boysboysboys" and always on their phones but it isn't like that.Hey Pandas, What Lies Have TV Taught You?
On one hand, I'm not gullible enough to believe what TV tells me. On the other hand, I'm gullible enough to believe my dad when he says, "Look, a dog!" Then when I look, he steals one of my fries.Show All 12 Upvotes
