People Talk About Things That Are Classy If You’re Wealthy, but Trashy If You’re Not

This question has been making the rounds lately, and let me tell you, there are some pretty spot-on and eye-opening answers that should be food for thought for most of us.

If you’re wondering what I’m talking about, here are 15 things people say are classy if you have money, but trashy if you’re poor, and the truth of it all is enough to make you want to cringe.

15. No one gives you a hard time about any of it.

Not having a job.

Getting high.

Spending money on non-essentials.

At least that’s how it seems

14. Abusive men definitely qualify.

Makes me remember the joke: if fifty shades took place in a trailer park, it would be a Criminal Minds episode.

13. All of these are painfully accurate.

Having strangers living in your house with you.

Not seeing your kids a lot.

riding bicycles on main roads

multiple cars in front of the house

eating animals that most people don’t eat

owning a limousine

knowing lawyers and judges well.

12. I guess maybe it’s the hats.

Going to the horse races

If you’ve ever been to the track on a Tuesday afternoon you know it ain’t a pretty sight.

But that’s not the picture NBC paints at the Kentucky Derby.

11. The people who need help can’t ask for it.

Other people raising your kids. having a live-in nanny makes you rich, but being raised by your grandparents means your parents are deadbeats

10. We all need the same meds, though.

Wearing weird / unusual clothing all the time.

If you are poor – you are a weirdo. If you are rich – you are just eccentric.

9. People used to do this all the time.

Holding your kid’s wedding and reception in your backyard.

8. Drink. Drank. Drunk.

Day drinking at work.

You always see in the movies the hot shot lawyer keeps a decanter filled and pours a glass with every client.

That may be the case in high level positions? I have no idea.

But in our reality, the guy would be labeled a drunk and lose his job and reputation.

7. The man running the U.S. (and the U.K.) currently.

Having multiple kids with multiple partners.

6. It’s the perfect example.

Florida.

Rich Florida and Florida Florida are two very different things

5. Spoiler alert: poor people probably don’t own them.

Having a big screen TV.

I’ve had to do home visits with people often and they ALWAYS get so mad that these poor families would have one.

4. The privilege of not keeping stuff.

‘Minimalism’.

If you’re rich and you live in a ‘tiny’ house, and don’t have a lot material possessions, you are considered enlightened and living a good life.

If you’re poor and you live in a tiny house and don’t have a lot of stuff, you are considered a loser.

Minimalism works if you can replace anything on a whim. The rest of us hoard crap in mom’s garage “for when I need it” or “just in case.”

3. It’s all wasting money.

Biggest thing is leisure spending, imo.

Somehow a billionaire wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars on shit she doesn’t need and will use once is considered cool, but a poor person saving up and buying a nice purse or bottle of booze is seen as wasteful.

2. Also getting arrested for drugs.

Drugs.

Big difference between a crack house and a cocaine apartment.

1. That’s called a double standard.

Taking money from the government.

Unemployment/Food stamps: Trashy

Business Bailout/Taxloophole: Classy

Some of these are just so awful and true, y’all.

What would you add to the list? Tell us in the comments!

Things That Are Trashy or Classy… Depending on How Much Money You Have

As you know, the universe gives and takes away, luck has her say, and sure, the world isn’t at all fair when it comes to who has money and who doesn’t – and let’s not even talk about how the odds are against people moving up or down that mountain, right?

Double standards and hypocrisy are also everywhere, and when it comes to these 12 things, whether or not they are classy or trashy completely depends on your tax bracket.

12. If you’ve got money to burn…

Smoking a cig.

Also gambling.

11. They say it’s all about doing your part.

Tax offenses. If you make $20k a year and don’t do your taxes right, you’ll be fucked. If you are rich and withold a few million $ in taxes, you’re usually fine.

10. Only in the movies (probably).

Hunting people for sport.

9. Because if you’re rich you can always just borrow more.

spending more money than you have

8. Why is society like this?

Taking money from the government.

Unemployment/Food stamps: Trashy

Business Bailout/Taxloophole: Classy

7. At least, not cleaning it yourself.

Not cleaning your house.

6. Nail, meet hammer.

Based on the other replies, pretty much everything

5. It’s called “distressed,” okay?

looking homeless or wearing “homeless” clothes

4. We still make fun of you, but not because it’s trashy.

Having weird names. Yeah we still laugh at some of the names celebrities give their kids but it will never stop them from getting work or living their lives of luxury.

3. What you can get away with…

Not paying taxes.

In one reality, you’re poor trash.

In the other, you’re a smart business person.

Ugh.

2. You may not splurge.

It’s like you’re never allowed to do anything remotely nice for yourself unless you’ve “made it” – whatever that means. Someone is always willing to give you crap for something if they see you as somehow not having “made it” to the point where it’s acceptable to splurge on yourself.

For example, my boyfriend and I last year were house hunting and the process was taking a while. It was frustrating, we hadn’t done anything for ourselves in a while, and he found a good deal on a guitar he had been wanting. So he got it. We got crap because we “should be saving money” and “he’s got two kids to support” (one with his ex and one with me). Ugh.

We had money already saved, it was just a matter of finding a house within our budget that we wanted to live in. All our bills were handled, including child support, nobody was going without and he had the money. Why is it so sinful that he got it before we found a house? Since then, we did find a house and closed on it and we’re working on it so we can move in, and he didn’t have to sell the guitar to do it because we know how to budget.

1. Maybe even suffering, tbh.

Doing literally anything except suffering tbh.

I don’t know why these answers made me angry, but they sure did.

Would you add something to this list? If so, tell us what it is in the comments!

Twitter Users Answer “What’s Trashy if You’re Poor, but Classy if You’re Not?”

If you have something timeless – a joke, an observation, or a question that gets huge engagement – it can sometimes come back around.

Which is exactly what happened with this tweet from 2016, which asked people to weigh in on things that are classy if you’re rich, but considered trashy if you’re not.

These 14 people really drove home the point that our society is built on double standards, classism, and hypocrisy.

14. Not everyone has to pay taxes.

Let’s not even get into that discussion.

13. An important one-word distinction.

It changes so much, doesn’t it?

12. This is impossible to deny.

And yet, some people still want to try.

11. The morality police turn a blind eye.

They’re probably blind to the sins of their own.

10. Also no, it doesn’t matter how your family earned the money.

Or whether it technically belongs to other people.

9. I never thought about this, but yeah.

You’re a hipster if you’re doing it by choice.

8. I never thought about this.

Maybe homeless people should start asking for “startup capital” instead.

7. This made me laugh but it is totally true.

Through most of history.

6. And if you have 19 kids they give you a television show.

Idk if they were rich before but they are now.

5. Though why you would choose to live in a small home is beyond me.

To each his own, I suppose. As long as it’s a choice.

4. A picture is worth a thousand words.

Do you distress your own clothes or buy them that way?

3. When you shop at a thrift store “for fun.”

And take all of the best finds from people who need them.

2. Honestly any one of these things.

The day drinking, for sure.

1. I never thought about it, but yeah.

Pretty much everything, I guess.

These really kind of make me angry, but I’m glad there are people at least identifying the issues.

What would you have replied? Tell us in the comments!

Women, Read This Before You Participate in the Black and White Selfie Challenge

There’s a new social media challenge every couple of weeks, and those of us who want to do better and be more aware of how our presence in certain spaces takes up room for the people whose voices need to be heard have become reticent to join in.

We need to ask questions before we accept a viral chain letter and post a selfie, take up a hashtag spot, and the like, even though someone we love and trust sent the challenge along.

Which is all to say, let’s talk about the origins behind this black and white women’s selfie challenge, because it’s a bit more than a simple and vague “women supporting women.”

Actress Florence Pugh (who blew you away in Little Women), shed light on the challenge’s background when she posted a silly black and white photo of her own.

“I’ve been told that the true meaning of this hashtag and this b&w photo – ‘It is to shed light onto the Istanbul Convention, women are being subjected to violence and this convention is to end forgiveness for the attacker/murderers.

With that in mind, adjust your hashtags if you didn’t already do so.

Let’s ride gals.”

New York Times writer Tariro Mzezewa also verifies this is how the challenge started, saying that she spoke to some Turkish women who said,

“It started there as a response to them being frustrated over always seeing black and white photos of women who have been killed.”

Dr.  Pragya Agarwal chimed in as well, adding,

“This was started by Turkish women to say that they are appalled by the Turkish govt decision to withdraw from the Istanbul Convention, much like Poland.

This is to say that no woman stands alone, we deserve to take up space, we are all #womensupportingwomen.”

Black and white selfies. It isn’t just a game of hot or not. Or an exercise in vanity. It is not just a mindless challenge that women are undertaking to post their sexiest snaps. These are some of the criticisms that this #challenge has faced. It is a very serious gesture of defiance in support of the Turkish Women (Turkey has one of the highest femicide rate), in support of Pinar Gultekin who was killed in the most violent manner, in support of every woman who has felt threatened and unsafe. This is show of solidarity to say that we stand together, we are unafraid, we are fed up of the lack of accountability for the perpetrators. This was started by Turkish women to say that they are appalled by the Turkish govt decision to withdraw from the Isanbul convention much like Poland. This is to say that no woman stands alone, we deserve to take up space, we are all #womensupportingwomen This is not just performative, this is hopefully not just tokenistic, this is for PINAR GULTEKIN. Say her name!! .

A post shared by Dr Pragya Agarwal (@drpragyaagarwal) on

Poland left the Instanbul Convention, which is a European treaty aimed at protecting women against violence, and Turkey is considering doing the same.

While the original push behind the hashtag challenge has gotten a bit muddied, women like Padma Lakshmi and Alexa Chung have used their selfies and posts to lift up women like Breonna Taylor, Sandra Bland, Natasha McKenna, and Michelle Cusseaux – all in need of justice after brutal treatment.

If you’re going to take part, keep all of this in mind, and maybe make your space somewhere that boosts the signals of women around the world who are in need of justice, of strength, and of support against power.

In the process, you and your followers are sure to learn something about the plight of the women we’re supporting around the globe, making the social media solidarity all the more meaningful.

This Artist Makes Amazing Miniature Sculptures on the Tips of Pencils

When I first saw these sculptures, I had a hard time believing they were even REAL. That’s how impressive these works of art really are.

A Russian artist named Salavat Fidai takes sculpture to another level with his incredibly unique and intricate works that he creates on the tips of pencils.

You really do have to see his work to believe it. It’s totally amazing!

Here are some great examples of what Fidai creates. Enjoy!

Ellie Lewis is one such artist who is making waves with her incredible work.

She’s based in the United Kingdom she has the ability to use her face as a canvas for her makeup work that you have to see to believe.

People Who Live in Areas Where the Virus Isn’t Being Taken Seriously Talk About What It’s Like

It blows my mind these days when I go into a store or a gas station and people are STILL not wearing masks.

It drives me nuts!

Not only is it dangerous but it’s also incredibly selfish. I don’t think it’s too much of a sacrifice to wear a freaking mask when you go out in public, do you?

I wonder how these people would have reacted during World War II when Americans had to ration materials…they probably would’ve said it was an infringement on their rights…

The point is that there are many parts of the United States where people are still not taking the coronavirus seriously and that isn’t good for anyone

Let’s see what AskReddit users had to say about where they live…

1. Nobody’s paying attention.

“Stores have implemented all sorts of things, like one way aisles. However, since like 2% of people care, nobody pays attention and somehow everyone ends up closer than they would have if the aisles would have just been normal.

A lot of people don’t wear masks, but on occasion you’ll see someone in a mask, gloves, with their phone and other belongings in a ziploc bag to keep them from being contaminated.

Oddly enough, those are typically the people that get avoided like the plague.”

2. Not smart!

“Well, a younger guy at work said he was at a packed bar over the weekend and we are ending our alternating schedule on Monday.”

3. You’re doing it wrong!

“I remember going to the store a few weeks ago and there was a lady who was just carrying an entire can of Lysol with her and spraying every single thing immediately before touching it.

She’d spray a box on the shelf, pick it up to look at it, and put it back. She’d spray a can, then grab it to put it in her cart. She sprayed the cart handle immediately before touching it EVERY TIME she touched it.

She also sprayed the credit card machine, and her credit card. She was wearing gloves, and her phone was in a ziplock bag.

She wasn’t wearing a mask and was shopping the wrong way.”

4. Let’s go to the park!

“People in my town don’t care that much, but ever since one kid got it they’ve been taking it more seriously.

But then the bomb threat made people go to the park MORE, on the basis that they “couldn’t go yesterday so I’m going to go today” when they never had plans to go anyway.”

5. This is not a hoax.

“I am an EMS helicopter pilot. Two days ago we transported a COVID positive patient that had been in the ICU in a small hospital for three days due to respiratory distress due to COVID. I watched as the crew loaded him into the back of the aircraft which is usual. I heard them asking each for drugs that we don’t normally give to people who we transport.

They were asking for those drugs because he was actively dying. They pull him back out of the aircraft and run back to the ER. Meanwhile my medic is sitting on top of him doing chest compressions while we’re running through the ER to the trauma bay.

As we were running I glanced in the rooms we were passing. Literally no patients had mask on.

I just don’t get it. This isn’t a hoax, a political ploy or a scare tactic. Wear a damn mask.

The patient was a 50 y/o man who was in good health and no previous medical history. Cause of death respiratory distress due to COVID.”

6. Lonely.

“I feel like I don’t really know anybody anymore. Never had a clue how many mild-to-insane level conspiracy theorists there were around me.

I’m not so much lonely as I am just generally let down at how willfully ignorant people are willing to be.

Maybe I’m guilty of it myself, because I genuinely thought better of my city than this.”

7. Ignorance is bliss.

“Where I am in the South its just like it was before the outbreak.

If you don’t watch the news, there’s no reason to think the world is any different.

Ignorance is bliss baby.”

8. Nothing to see here.

“Life has gone on like normal. People crowding into bars, partying like the just don’t care. I know people busy singing in their church choirs without a care in the world.

I grocery shop during church time.

The grocery store if full of people in PPE then and it seems much safer.”

9. Out in the sticks.

“Rural Florida here.

Land of the lifted truck, Trump signs, and Confederate flags.

Maybe about a third of the people in my local grocery store–the only one in a 10 mile radius–wear masks. It’s in the neighborhood that I’ve found a real challenge. Kids are out playing and people are interacting face-to-face like the virus is long behind them.

I’m an extrovert who normally enjoys being a part of that, so social isolation is rough. The children don’t understand why I’m a recluse, and they come to my door looking for me.

I’ve been caving to the pressure and going out some, but then I feel unspoken pressure not to wear a mask. I have medical issues, so I don’t think I’d be looked down upon.

It just feels suddenly like I’m the uncool kid at school.”

10. Jeez…

“Everyone’s using the time off work to party, have barbecues, visit family, etc.

My family has made the trip to visit every single one of our relatives at least once this year since they have so much time off, and they’re out every other evening to go to a barbecue with or a potluck or a dinner with their friends.”

11. This is crazy.

“I live in Florida and work in the beauty industry. My clients are dropping like flies. I spend an hour in their face while they are unmasked.

Had a woman call the other day to tell me she’d been exposed to COVID and was going to get tested, and wanted to know what our policy was and if she could keep her appointment. Had a co-worker get sick and she found out she had been exposed.

She told my boss she was getting tested, and my boss asked me if I thought it’d be okay for her to come back in, because “what’s everyone going to do? Keep quarantining?” YES. YES! That’s EXACTLY what we ALL need to do.

My parents are in their 70s. I can’t go see them. What if this is the last bit of time I get with them? What if I go see them and kill them?

My best friend was just diagnosed with cancer. I can’t go see him. Will I ever get to see him again? Will he die alone?

If I get sick, how long will I be out of work with no sick leave? How long will my SO be out if he gets sick? What will happen if his compromised child gets sick? How would we afford the medical bills? Do we send him back to school? Who will watch him?

The worries are endless. And we could’ve made this so much easier if people weren’t such selfish, entitled, politicized *ssholes.”

12. Can’t do it anymore.

“I don’t even engage anymore.

I can’t have a normal conversation with them and I refuse to argue. Facts don’t matter, common sense doesn’t break the seal, and just common courtesy is a negative.

I just can’t anymore.”

13. Wow.

“I just finished a contact tracing job up in a little town with like <2000 people. My job was to monitor the health of those exposed or diagnosed with COVID-19 and I was there for a month.

Any time I would call and give someone their diagnosis and ask who they have been in contact with, I had a 50/50 shot of them being massive d*ck bags. The things I heard were that COVID-19 was a scam, was used to make big pharma rich, wasn’t real and they just had the flu or a stomach virus ect.

I told people they needed to isolate for 14 days if they were a positive case or exposed and I basically was f*cking them for 2 weeks of pay at work so that was awful. I can’t legally force them so some just went back to work and didn’t care and infected more people. We had an outbreak at an Autozone because of it.

No one wore a mask. Every food worker wore theirs without their nose covered that I saw if they were. I was generally the only one in public with one on, if not only 1 of 2 or 3 people. It was a bible-belt city so lots of “I’ll just pray it away I don’t need the hospital.”

I had a lady raise her oxygen from 2L to 4L overnight, probably due to fluid build up from COVID, which she had because she was living with a lung disease. I told her to go to the ER NOW and when she was there, she called.

She told me she was going to go in and called to ask if they could even help her, I said yes obviously. She turned around and drove home when she hung up. Called the next day to see how the ER visit went and she was at home gasping for air. Husband took her to the ER but not before making her talk to me like an idiot :/.

Oh and people hung up on me a lot when Id be calling them like 5 days in. Or they’d block my work number so we’d send police out to make sure they were alive.”

Are people taking this health crisis seriously where you live?

Please tell us about it in the comments.

We look forward to hearing from you!
