Lol imagine if you've spent $13k on a bottle of wine by accident and your worst nightmare is that people on twitter are mad at you. Eat the rich.

    This anecdote kind of reminds me of what I’ve heard about that kind of “house-rich money-poor” remnant of English aristocracy, that a bunch of them have been running up against financial problems and have to do shit like open their castles to the public for tours, run a bed and breakfast out of their country house, etc. I pray for your family’s sake that they never have to suffer the indignity of getting a real job.

      Yeah I don't have enough contact with them to know if they've been forced to do that yet but their attitude towards people who work in service jobs is fucking abhorrent. At my mums 40th, my aunt drank too much and went on a horrible rant about the people working at the restaurant and how "disgusting" she found the wait staff in particular. They have nothing but contempt for anyone who works or doesn't have as much money as they do. That includes my mother and our family.

      So the idea of them being forced to join the workforce and get real 9 to 5 jobs would be fucking amazing. My cousin used to go to fast food joints and Treat the staff like absolute shit with her friends and laugh at them for, you know, doing their jobs. She's an absolute fucking ghoul but of the dumbest kind.
