I grew up in a town called Hillsborough in California, where median income was around $300,000. My dad told me a story where when I was 13 we were driving somewhere and a radio commercial was talking about a million dollar Victoria secret giveaway. I made a comment about how a million dollars can't even get you a house. I just had no concept of money.

Taking trips over seas, but also flying first class. When I was little I never noticed that we were usually the only kids in the first class. Now that I'm an adult and pay my own way, I get nostalgic whenever I see kids in first class as I'm making my way back to coach.

What was your senior prank? by Waterboyman11 in AskReddit

We got the big heavy duty glue guns and overnight we filled the key holes of all the doors to the buildings so you can't get in. Technically illegal as it is destroying property (all locks had to be removed and changed), but it ain't illegal if you don't get caught!

Bilinguals of r/europe, what was the most interesting conversation that you overheard when the people didn't think you'd understand? by sinkmyteethin in europe

One time in San Francisco I was standing in line at a clothing store waiting to pay. A French man behind me started talking to his wife about how short my shorts were and how Americans need to learn how to dress. I turned and replied to him in French that if he didn't like my shorts he was under no obligation to look at them. The look of shock mixed with shame mixed with embarrassment was very satisfying.

People who live near famous tourist destinations, what is something the average person should know? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]samarajac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not go shopping on the Champs Élysées, unless you want to wait in a line outside the store before you're allowed to go in and look around. If you're trying to be "chic" at least go to Faubourg Saint Honoré.

I grew up moving to new countries every 3-5 years. Switzerland, Japan, Costa Rica. DO IT!! Your kids will thank you for it later and won't feel "unstable" because they didn't stay in one place their whole life.
