Agree

+1. Surprised this answer is showing up so much. Putting the time, effort, and thought into growing fresh vegetables is the antithesis of trashy.

Adam Carolla wrote a whole book on this

“ In Rich Man Poor Man, comedian and bestselling author Adam Carolla exposes the phenomena that are embraced by the really rich and the really poor--but never the middle class--like having an outdoor shower, wearing your pajamas all day, or always having your dog with you.”

Nah, disagree. Never classy, even if common among the rich.

Good point. You are right. I was thinking in terms of how different classes are treated very differently for the same behavior. But I agree, it is not classy.

Well, if a rich person does it it’s gardening, if a poor person does it it’s being a gardener.

Multiple dogs on the property
Getting married at home
Lawsuits against extended family
Lives by a river
Suspicious of the Fed
Sleeps till noon
Lives in a hotel
Complains to his congressman
Has great fireworks
Searches for buried treasure

This thread adds an element that’s not really necessary—it doesn’t have to be “classy” when wealthy people do it and “trashy” when it’s poor people. It’s just things that both do, but are generally not done by regular MC people.

Never thought about this, but it's absolutely right.

Last two examples not true since the pandemic and many still working from home with their dogs dressed in PJ bottoms

None of these pertains to wealth.

Coming back to this. I replied quickly and l agree gardening, or being a gardener is never trashy. Poor doesn’t equal trashy. Pardon my haste.
