Some Rich People Are Quite Clueless About How Regular People Live And Here Are 40 Stories Twitter Users Shared That Prove It

Totally out of touch with reality.

He should have given you a clothing allowance

Not necessarily. I needed to shop at thrifts for years, and was still chuffed when I got a really good deal out of it. Nothing wrong with bragging a bit about skill, in the case of a dinner, or luck and persistence & some ability with mending. I was never ashamed about being poor.

Even if it is survival or a choice, most women I know love to share when they get a really good deal or are smart with their money. She was probably excited for getting such a find at thrifting.

I 'brag' about buying secondhand clothes because I find stuff I love for cheap. Plus it shows that I am not contributing to fast, unethical fashion.

Bragging about how good the outfit was for a thrifted one, not about having to thrift.

It may not sound that bad to you, but to a poor person who's heard this sort of thing all their life, it hurts. Trust me.

Cute? I hear condescending..but I hear you too♡

I don't see it that way. I see it as extremely privileged.

i don't see what's "cute" about being clueless, spoiled, & ignorant. accepting the fact that not everyone is as privileged as you isn't that difficult, & not doing so isn't "cute," it's annoying, condescending, & downright hurtful to the people she can't be bothered to consider when she's speaking directly to them.

I don't think it's cute when people try to impose their interests on me. "You should do this. You will like this." I probably wouldn't care as much if I didn't know people who have a bad habit of doing this. It gets old really quickly

I get what you mean but it isn’t a nice feeling.

It must feel terrible to be on the poor end of this conversation, but it does sound like the person genuinely just didn't think about the situation and was excited to recommend a fun experience to a person. "Hello foot, entering mouth now" kind of thing

Not helpful

IMO being so clueless about how out of reach international travel is for most of humanity is offensive to the extreme.

Yeah. I mean, it's not like every poor person looks poor, right? You don't always know what a person's income is just by meeting them.

And pay for a hotel, and food, and maybe even a souvenir or two? You clearly don’t understand being poor.

They don't tell you that when giving you the student loan though🙄

Unpopular opinion but it is still highly dependant on which degree you get ... When I was a student all my managers at a fast-food restaurant had a psychology master degree (very popular degree) and didn't find a job in this category. I did engineering and I can promise you I have offer flowing almost every week

I cannot upvote this enough!

Unfortunately, a "friend" in the field is a better guarantee.

And degree does not suggest any brain, I have know quite a few basically moron person who had at least one Master degree

Learned that too late in life.

I'm a master baker, went to school for it. I currently delivery pizza for Domino's and make 3x a Bakers salary. Welcome to the United States! :)

That's the deep, dark secret that colleges and universities do not reveal. Instead of doing "real advising" about a student's educational career path, they are focused solely on tuition money. I was GREATLY misled and am now in student loan debt of in excess of 6 figures. Young people, especially, have "apple pie in the sky" expectations about their chosen career. They either don't pay attention to the reality of the economy and the job market, or they foolishly believe that their situation will be different from that of the "unwashed masses." It's a game and students are the pawns.

That and some people just prefer to work outside their field of study 🤷🏼‍♀️

It does not. But not having a degree will almost certainly guarantee you won't.

Updoot for #relatable

If you’ve sold a kidney, you’re going to be drinking lots of water and cranberry juice and not much else…
