[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The preoccupation with expensive, international vacations has always been an UMC thing that feels very trashy. [/quote]

I feel like it's gotten way worse in recent years. Maybe fueled by viral shows like White Lotus? And certainly social media plays a part.[/quote]

Very gaudy and tasteless.

It is hard for me to comprehend how many so-called adults are obsessed with social media and status.  WTF?  Grow up.

Boasting and self-absorption has been normalized. [b]Everyone young and old scrolls on their phones all day looking at glamorous celebs, random pretty people, and pseudo friends sharing every detail about their day.[/b][/quote]

Uh, no.  But this says a lot about you.  I have no social media and DGAF what the Joneses are doing.  I may ask in passing where they're headed for travel making polite conversation though.  I may even ask again as I probably forget the answer 5 min later.  It's like asking me what the weather was like 2 weeks ago on Tuesday - I have no idea...[/quote]

Not the PP you are responding to.  The PP is correct.  Tons of people of all ages who are phone addicts who look at vapid BS all day.  If that is not you, that's cool, and it means the PP wasn't talking about you and, therefore, your weirdly self-absorbed response makes no sense.

I suspect from your response, you are not as nonchalant as you protest.  Otherwise, why would you make a post that is clearly not meant to refer to you all about you?  Self absorption all the way.[/quote]

Sure, Jan.  You pegged it.  Hope it made your day.[/quote]
