35 Things “Rich People” Do That Others Find Inconsiderate And Annoying

ADVERTISEMENT

As ordinary people around the world suffered from the health and economic impacts of the pandemic, billionaires have actually expanded their fortunes. According to the Institute for Policy Studies analysis of Forbes data, the combined wealth of all U.S. billionaires increased by $1.763 trillion (59.8 percent) between March 18, 2020 and July 9, 2021, from approximately $2.947 trillion to $4.711 trillion.

This just shows that people with and without money lead very different lives. Recently Reddit user u/amaltheahope asked others on the platform, "What is something that rich people do that really annoys you?" and everyone immediately started sharing some relatable examples of all the irritating stuff wealthy folks are known for. From happiness to food, continue scrolling to check out the most-discussed topics.

35 Things "Rich People" Do That Others Find Inconsiderate And Annoying When they insist that money doesn’t buy happiness. Maybe it doesn’t buy happiness, but it does buy vacations, therapy, adequate medical care, and not having to worry about whether or not you’ll have the money to pay rent and eat every month.

u/amaltheahope told Bored Panda the idea to post this question popped into their head quite randomly and since it looked like other users hadn't asked it before, they just went ahead and asked. "I was also curious about other people's opinions because basically, I also have some things that I hate about rich people," u/amaltheahope said.

The Redditor thinks many of the replies are quite universal. "Basically, I have the same sentiments as most of the commenters!" they said, laughing. "We have a common ground — hate towards annoying things rich people do!"

u/amaltheahope believes people can get along despite their wealth gap, but it takes respect, open communication, and understanding on both ends.

The sad thing is that financial inequality is skyrocketing.

To put things into perspective, the before-mentioned analysis offers this comparison: in 1982, the "poorest" American on the first annual Forbes magazine list of America's richest 400 had a net worth of $210 million in today's money and the average member of that list had a net worth of $600 million. But in 2020, Americans needed a net worth of $2.1 billion to enter the Forbes 400, and the average member held a net $8 billion. That's 13 times the 1982 average after adjusting for inflation.

35 Things "Rich People" Do That Others Find Inconsiderate And Annoying My aunt and her wife both work for the state. Her wife is the Deputy Commisoner of Environmental Protection. And I'm not sure what my aunt did but she was pretty high up and retired right before covid. Never had any kids. Needless to say, they're pretty well off.

They send my 95 year old Grandma a bill every month for what she owes them. When my aunt takes her to Starbucks and "buys" her drink, goes on the bill.

My grandma would offer money on her necessaties, because that's who she is. Pay for her groceries they bring her, etc. But they literally keep record of anything they ever pay for and bill her at the end of the month.

Like...where's your soul?

A variety of explanations have been proposed to explain how inequality can affect a country's economy. But a high level of disparity usually means a high level of poverty. Poverty is associated with increased crime and poor public health, which places additional burdens on the economy.

In the face of increasing food prices and lower incomes, support for pro-growth government policies declines. As wealthy citizens maintain disproportionate political power compared to poorer citizens, inefficient tax structures develop in favor of the wealthy. Unequal income distribution increases political instability, which threatens property rights, increases the risk of state repudiated contracts and discourages capital accumulation. Also, a widening rich-poor gap tends to increase the rate of rent-seeking and predatory market behaviors that hinder economic growth.

35 Things "Rich People" Do That Others Find Inconsiderate And Annoying My relatives are fairly well off. I don't know what it is about them but they have a notorious habit of bossing people around. My aunt (who I am very close with) straight up told me to go out and start a walking dogs business out of nowhere and that when she sees me again, I better have a walking dog business. What??? This is the way they function and when you stand up to them you get told you're lazy, don't care etc.

Just for clarity. I'm looking for work. Her method wouldn't work for where I live. It's nowhere near practical. Even if it was, it's extremely bossy.

Talk down to us more “common” people. I worked in a restaurant filled with rich people. And literally my first day, I messed up, not even majorly, i stuttered when reading out the drinks, and one of the rich men sighed and said “oh, hes new” in such a disgusted manner. Like bro, im literally your waiter for the next 5hrs and literally the whole night, him and his friends were talking down to me. They didnt even leave a tip, despite them all having incredible amounts of money, which uno, i would of appreciated even if it was as little as a pound. I worked my arse off to get you your meals and drinks all night and you didnt show any appreciation. If you are somehow reading this, mr rich man, [screw] you.

One of my friends in high school had parents that are rich and it was insanely annoying how he would continuously downplay and refuse to acknowledge just how incredibly lucky his family was. His parents were some of the sweetest and most genuinely nice people I’ve ever met and fully acknowledged that while they had worked hard they also got extremely lucky to be as successful as they were. For sone reason he just couldn’t see that every person who got rich there was a huge contributing factor of luck. It’s especially baffling because he was adopted by them so if the adoption hadn’t gone through for whatever reason his life could have been radically different.

The neighborhood I bought my first house in was middle class but there was one house that was much bigger than all the rest, they had nice landscaping had a pool and had new cars in driveway every 6 months. But the thing that bothered me was the amount of trash they set out on the curb. It was family of four and they would weekly put out 6/8 garbage cans. Most people in the neighborhood had one or two. How much material goods are they buying on a weekly basis to generate that much trash? For some reason that really annoyed me.

I worked at a fancy hotel with a country club style membership to our super fancy gym, and it always struck me just the total disconnect truly rich people have. Like the kind of never ending family money that is just something they have known since birth.

It’s not that they are jerks or anything, in fact those ungodly rich people were always some of the easiest to work with because they always paid for what they wanted and understood how to interact with “the help” (sounds terrible, but it was better than the “new money” folks who liked to bark orders and talk down to you to feel better important while they haggled over every single charge).

It wasn’t horrible but was always off putting when they would ask about our grand holiday plans and being honestly surprised we had to work at the hotel they were staying at for their fancy holiday? And then would like sincerely thank us? Which is nice because they appreciate you but also like, this isn’t fun for me and I’d rather be with my family.

Or paying $100 a night to have their sheets pressed everyday, guest who would drop $300 in the sport store for a change of gym clothes and overpriced shoes because they hadn’t packed theirs, and how they would come back from the fancy mall with bags and bags from places like Hermès talking about a nice little afternoon shopping trip just because.

Again nothing horrible in the treatment or even bad how they spent their money, it paid my bills, but it almost felt like an alien encounter. Like our words were so far apart I know I can’t even comprehend that type of money. Like their life was really that Arrested Development meme not knowing what a banana cost.

From my sister who was a tutor/nanny for a period of time.

Horrifically b***hy and abusive trophy wives. This got bad enough that she would turn down work from the "second wives club".

Chronically ill and under the weather first wives who lay in bed all day....and had a host of "first world problems".

A broad assumption that you work for them, therefore they own you.

The other point I hear of was her being hit (bumped) on three different occasions by people in Mercedes who, rather than getting out and making sure everything was OK, would pull alongside, laugh and wave through the window like "silly me!" and then just drive off.

This post is very generalized. Some of this behaviour can be seen with non rich people. I know many normal people, who order too much food and throw away whatever they don‘t eat for example. I also know non rich people, who get away with breaking rules, because they‘re manipulative or/ and take advance of other people‘s weaknesses. also not being thankful, disrespectful or spoiled is something i have witnessed a lot everywhere. buying cars/ brand clothing as status symbols is also a thing, that superficial/ insecure people will do regardless of them being rich or not. tax manipulation? yes, i know a few people, who do this and they‘re far away from being rich.

Plus, some of the remarks are ridiculous. For example the „Buy multiples houses. Save some for us.“… There‘s got to be people, wo have the money for that. They‘ll rent out for the people, who don‘t have the money to buy a house. unless they just buy it and leave it empty, it’s allright. or what‘s wrong with them dressing badly? I wouldn‘t want anyone criticizing me for something, that‘s only my matter.

I don't agree with a lot of the comments as ignorance, arrogance, jealousy, greed are found amongst different people coming from different social classes. As well as kindness, generosity, consideration, warmth.

Pretty ignorant post, The way bored panda spreads hate for rich people is ridiculous. You’d think it was illegal to be rich. Now I expect a post about the poor. Rich or poor it’s still classism and inappropriate. Stop worrying what other people do with there money and focus on your own financial situation.

One of my college roommates was obscenely wealthy and until she got to college with us, she didn't realize that not everyone lived the way she did. In the second month of college, she got upset that we all wouldn't go skiing with her for the weekend with two days notice. She didn't understand why the other three of us were always watching the clock to make sure we got to the dining hall for dinner when we could just order in, and she didn't understand why we were all excited when I told everyone that my job let me access laundry machines for free and I would let them in on it. She is a nice person, but had lived a sheltered life around other rich people and she couldn't comprehend college meal plans that were part of scholarships or side hustles for spending money.

Sad, that her parents never taught her. You said, she is a nice person. So let‘s hope she learned some life lessons during college life and learns to be thankful for all of her privileges. I knew a girl like that, too. She never finished college, because she was not ready for real life at all.

My stepmother's extremely wealthy mother saw me come home from my crap part-time job one afternoon and asked me if I'd left because I was 'bored'. It's like, 'No, Dorothy, I left because I was on an even shorter shift this afternoon. 31 year-olds who have no money and are retraining can't actually afford to leave their hourly wage because they're bored.' She hadn't worked since the 1950s and got the shits when she had to pay tax on her investments. She was truly unbelievable. A good Catholic who never did a day's charity work that I ever saw.

To me, the problem isn't being wealthy. Rather it's things like not paying your share into the system, buying influence over lawmakers, not contributing to the well-being of your fellow humans, making (or allowing to be made) policies at the business you run that make working conditions poor and/or paying low wages. It's things like complaining about how working class folks won't "try harder", pushing people into the highly manipulated stock market for their retirement, not supporting social programs like universal healthcare, buying fame, and crowing about contributing 1 million to x charity by throwing a 2 million "vanity" party to raise it. It's their refusal to acknowledge (or just not caring) that it's the system they created that protects their wealth more than anything they ever did. I have a problem with corporations that break the law and choose what fines they will pay. Or the unequal justice system that allows the rich to buy their way out of criminal acts. Etc. etc. etc.

I've always thought that part of any ivy league school curriculum should be students having to spend a year living in poverty to appreciate what they have and how much others suffer on a daily basis. Sometimes its easy to lack compassion for others when you are so far removed from the experiences that other people suffer in their daily lives. Let them experience the stress of not knowing where your next meal may be coming from, whether you will be able to afford your apartment this month, pray that the gas in your car lasts until your next paycheck because riding the bus takes so long. That you have to do your own washing, cleaning and cooking. That you hope that you don't get sick because you cannot afford to lose even one day of wages.

The other problem is that in America, not all education is equal. Some people are taught to sit down, shut up, follow orders, and do repetitive, menial tasks over and over all day long, while other people are taught to be independent, innovative, creative and confident. Some people are taught to be leaders, while others are taught to be cogs in the machine. As well, even university entrance is "gated" by requirements that make it very difficult for low-income students, such as basing entrance on extracurricular activities that some poor kids can't afford.

Most poor people will not be able to fathom what it’s like to be rich (without being born rich) or what it takes or what kind of person you even need to be. Honestly money just isn’t for everyone, just like anything else. People may not like being poor but at the same time they are almost always unwilling to do what needs to be done to get more. Whether it’s the physical or mental or emotional side of things. People are stupid in general, it’s just a fact. Most people aren’t smart and average isn’t good enough. That’s why lottery winners end up worse off. Money doesn’t fix people really, and you can’t get loads of it until you address certain mentalities and accept certain narratives. And it’s a painful process, with a lot of sacrifices and a lot of hardening yourself against getting sucked into people’s woes. The truth is usually not pretty and people don’t like that.

Well, the truth ain't pretty, but have you considered that I may want more money but am unwilling to do what it takes to get more b/c I don't want ot be a prostitute? If it comes to money or conscience, I'll do without money. And I'm guessing you think it's okay to do whatever it takes, and that's fine for you, but don't criticize those who won't go to all lengths for money, or as you put it, "unwilling to do what needs to be done". Peace out.
