May be an incident where they could not understand how much things they take for granted cost to the normies, a flagrant disregard for morals or ethics, a blatant show of arrogance or disconnectedness, or anything yould like to share.

    In fifth grade at a private school in Florida, I told a kid our Apple IIe didn’t have a joystick.

    A few months later he was flabbergasted I didn’t have one already.

    I hadn’t even asked my parents for one. It wasn’t enough of a priority for me. (When I did get one a few years later it was with my money.)

    We had a computer at home and were definitely not poor. But I stood out as the relatively poor kid there.
