To be fed up with jealous people who seem to hate anyone who has more money than them?

I seem to epitomise what some people hate - I live in a gated estate, drive a 4x4, am a SAHM and send my children to private school. Why does this mean that some people think this gives them a right to be rude to me or about the choices my family make? I would never look down on anyone who doesn't have or do what I do, so why is it ok to do it the other way round? I am so fed up with it! And you know the ones I really can't stand? Champagne socialists who think they are all left-wing with socialist ideals but are really just like me!

GoldQuintessenceAndMyhrr · 16/12/2012 22:42

OLIVIA We know the guidelines, nobody is breaking them.

McChristmasPants2012 · 16/12/2012 22:43

SexyClaus · 16/12/2012 22:43

Yes, pearls and only pearls on everything. My shoes, my socks, my eyelashes...my bloody / dark blue car

i don't have much money, my family don't have much money

I don't hate people with money. I wish I had a bit more, but i'm not jealous of those that do. I am happy with my lot and enjoy life

I have mixed feelings about private schools
I don't like crass displays of materialism/consumerism or competitiveness

I do think people who drive 4x4s are wankers (apart from farmers and the like)

HTH

OP a saveloy is a big red sausage that they sell in chippies to balance on top of your curry or gravy mix.......

puds11isNAUGHTYnotNAICE · 16/12/2012 22:43

You have a pearl encrusted car!!!! Is that like rhinestones for posh people?

QuickLookBusy · 16/12/2012 22:43

Worra, you're going to get into trouble[cgrin]

GoldQuintessenceAndMyhrr · 16/12/2012 22:44

I would like a car with pearls. Not jealous, just to point it out. Would also like some chocolate. (But not a chocolate car)

I think I like this troll. Can we keep it please, Olivia, pretty please?

takataka · 16/12/2012 22:45

and...i still dont know what a gated estate...so couldn't tell you if I am jealous of that/ would judge you for having one

LauriesFairyonthetreeeatsCake · 16/12/2012 22:45

I haven't heard anyone be mean.

Lots of lovely piss taking though.

puds11isNAUGHTYnotNAICE · 16/12/2012 22:45

Oh god i hope Olivia isn't going to tell santa

BabylonElf · 16/12/2012 22:45

If you we're as wealthy as you say then surely it would be diamonds and not pearls on everything?

Pearls on your socks?? They must chafe on the ankle bones Xmas Grin

WorraLorraTurkey · 16/12/2012 22:45

Haha Puds I kind of posted that before spotting Olivia....Xmas Blush

I can't see me getting that fiver now...

SexyClaus · 16/12/2012 22:46

Oh I thought you meant Savoy. I thought a chippy was a carpenter!

takatat its a bunch of houses with a big gate all the way around so that the children are protected can't escape

Kendodd · 16/12/2012 22:46

This thread is so funny, I'm actually starting to like you OP.

Do you think they'll put it in classics?

morethanpotatoprints · 16/12/2012 22:46

So is the OP

Dim, psychologically unhinged or both?

The delusion of jelousy makes me think the latter. However, the 4x4 and private school the former. The gated estate definitely secluded the latter.

I really pity the OP Sad. Not a happy bunny I'm afraid

puds11isNAUGHTYnotNAICE · 16/12/2012 22:47

Don't worry worra just blame it on someone else.

LauriesFairyonthetreeeatsCake · 16/12/2012 22:47

Anyone who lets an 'ambassador' lick a chocolate out their fanjo is deeply chavtastic.

puds11isNAUGHTYnotNAICE · 16/12/2012 22:47

op are you making a joke? I can't tell.

SexyClaus · 16/12/2012 22:48

Oh, I am very happy!

OP posts:
SexyClaus · 16/12/2012 22:48

It is a joke but only just

OP posts:
BabylonElf · 16/12/2012 22:48

Isn't Savoy a cabbage???

Chippy is one of those clever words with two meanings, DH is a chippy/plumber who enjoys a chippy supper on a Friday Xmas Grin

Jakadaal · 16/12/2012 22:48

I have a 4x4 - practicality rather than statement
I wear pearls - sentiment rather than statement
I live on an estate along with a few hundred others ..... 'gated community' been watching too many ' Real Housewives of Orange County' methinks Xmas Hmm
