[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re fine driving an economy vehicle, do you man. But stop acting like you’re better for it. Loser behavior. [/quote]

Everyone I know who claimed to be like this went out and bought nice new cars when they got a major promotion or inherited a large sum. It's impossible to live in an UMC area and not want a nice vehicle. Even if the man of the house remains low-key, the wife and kids won't be. When a wife spends hundreds of days in the drop off and pickup line seeing all of the other mums in Land Rovers, Audis, and Rivians, she's going to want one too. Nobody wants to stick out like they're some hick from the other side of the tracks.[/quote]

My parents live in an enviable nice house in a neighborhood that usually makes the top 20 list of neighborhoods in the country. The country, not NoVa. Dad drives a 1990s era pick up truck. Mom has a decade old Dodge. Then again, mom has a science degree and doesn't care what the neighbors think because she doesn't think they are capable of thinking. She does make an effort to be mildly polite. Some people really have a radical disinterest in fitting in. Then again, that is hard for the fit-in crowd to understand.[/quote]

My parents are soooo chill and non-pretentious… that they bought or custom built a mansion in a ritzy, “enviable” town (read with no minorities and no peasants). :roll: Your parents are smug and classist phonies.[/quote]

I'll let mom know an emoji wielding stranger online called the daughter of the prague ghetto a classic phonie.

FYI, some people value stuff you don't. And we don't have peasants in this country.

But class obsessed types like to think that. Sorry. Must suck realizing people you hate can afford to buy stuff you envy, but genuinely don't care [/quote]

This context does really illustrate the point. [/quote]
