Features of Homes that Rich People Wouldn't Understand


Most people don't have a whole lot of money for designer tin cans and entire matching cup sets. Being the resourceful humans that we are, there are certain features of many homes that rich people just wouldn't get. Matching towels? Ha! You want a new TV just because it's sort of broken? Who are you the King of Rhodesia? These extremely common moments stand in stark contrast to some of the most expensive things people have witnessed. Here are some wild cases of rich people being out of touch.

We tore down the wall paper in the bathroom but then never did anything after. We were supposedly going to redo the floors in the bedrooms so I was allowed to draw all over my room in middle school and we never did those and it looked soooo bad and was so embarrassing.

Font - Serebriany 17 hours ago e I felt like a total asshole once. I was visiting someone for coffee, and something spilled, so I was helping wipe it up. A single AA battery rolled toward me on the counter, and I asked if it needed to be someplace, and was told it went in a drawer. I opened the drawer, and there were several batteries, but none in packages. I said, "Damn, don't you hate it when you accidentally destroy the packaging getting a couple of batteries out, and then have to find a plac

Font - A19C89 19 hours ago Obviously depends on the person, but clutter. Rich people often have more space and more options for organizing their things out of sight. Poor people have fewer places to put things and often a harder time letting go of stuff because what if they need it later and can't afford a new one?

Font - rebel1031 19 hours ago Back when I was a kid....the needle nose pliers we changed the channel on the TV with. One kid would change the channel while the other (usually me) went outside whatever the weather to turn the antenna until the channel came in. Then my dad would decide to go back to the other show and we'd repeat the process.

Font - mob55 18 hours ago I do home inspections for low income homes. "The Throne" Generally an entirely unfinished basement with a lone installed toilet in the center or corner. No walls, sink,or anything around it. Bonus points if the concrete slab they pour for it allows you to touch the ceiling above you while sitting. Generally the water is not hooked up to it and the bowl has a drowned rat in it. I have used it once, found out the hard way that it doesn't work

Font - madeto-stray 19 hours ago S I think Western poor houses would tend to be more cluttered. You can't re-buy things easily, so you end up keeping around doubles of things you already have, or extra things you aren't using but might need sometime, because you don't know if you'd be able to afford it in the future. My dad wouldn't let his partner get rid of any of the double kitchen-ware they had after moving in together incase they broke up and he had to buy it again. So now they have three b

I keep a mister water bottle by the bed and mist the sheet before I I go to sleep and periodically cool off thru the night.
