Sometimes, it’s like rich people are living in an entirely different world—one where money grows on trees and everyone’s biggest worry is which private island to vacation on next. I mean, we all know they’re a bit out of touch, but some of the things they say really take it to a whole new level of cluelessness. It’s like they’ve never even heard of a budget or what it’s like to be one minor inconvenience away from eating ramen for a week straight.
Take, for instance, the time a wealthy acquaintance asked a Redditor why they didn’t just hire someone to carry their groceries. Um, because I have two perfectly good arms and a desire not to spend my life savings on a trip to the store? Or the classic, “You don’t have a summer home? Where do you go when you’re tired of your regular house?” Oh, I don’t know…maybe the couch? These kinds of moments are like something straight out of a sitcom, and they’re exactly why we can’t help but laugh (and maybe cringe a little) when the rich try to relate to the rest of us.
