" There was one day all of the hand truck driver lead on strike and gas station were running out of gas . My booster say that it was moments like this that she was felicitous her sept had their own gas post . "
One of my favorite childhood movies ever isRichie Rich— starring Macaulay Culkin — because it taught me at a young age that money isn’t everything.
Though it was clear that Richie had some serious bank, his friends didn’t fully grasp just how wealthy he was until they discovered his personal in-home, fast-food restaurant, which now, looking back, was completely ridiculous. I mean, who would need that in their house?
So when Twitter user@Tony_of_lagosasked, “What is the strangest way you found out that your friend was wealthy?” I was mentally preparing myself to eyeroll at the obliviousness of the upper class. But the responses ranged from some funny movie references to real-life scenarios that were even more shocking than I predicted. So let’s get into the best replies:
