I work in a high SES area and live in a low SES area.

We hired a new employee who lives in the wealthiest suburb of this area. We were casually talking and she asked me where I live, I told her and her whole demeanor towards me changed and she started giving me money saving advice so I can “get out of there” and then started grilling me on where I plan on moving to when I have the money.

I love where I live. I’m looking for a job closer to home. I have no intention of moving any time soon.

Not really advice but one time I told a girl I really enjoyed the book Animal Farm and she just turned to me and said something like “but you don’t study history so you don’t understand all the complexities in it like I do so you couldn’t possibly enjoy it”.

Not that it matters, but history was mandatory at our school.

This isn’t quite what the post says but I have a black belt in a martial art thing. I went to a class on a different day than I usually go, and wasn’t wearing my belt. Some d******d kept trying to teach me basic blocks during drill and being really condescending about it.

A store clerk told me I should save for a car because I went to the store while it was raining. I just said “yeah maybe”.

I have a car, I just don’t like to drive for less than 2 blocks.

That simply working “real hard” would guarantee I’d get rich and have a good life.

Told to look into a profession more suited to my ‘shy disposition’ when I said I wanted to become a therapist. They suggested something like a librarian. I’m currently studying psychology and plan to pursue therapy after my undergrad and PhD.
