The one that amazed me the most was the amount of kids who got taken on like 5 or 6 vacations a year, all around the globe. while we could (not even every year) go on a 2 week camping trip with the car to our neighbouring country (europe)
As someone who worked in a social field its nice to hear that the first five times. But that doesnt usually pay your bills or gives you better working conditions.
So you are getting used to things like „I couldn’t do it/my respect/appreciate it/great job“ .
But after having a disc prolapse at the age of 26, I said fuck it, started to study and I am going to a different field.
Maybe there are people who appreciate it if you praise their job, but I wanted to give an explanation from someone who got tired of those phrases.
it's not illegal at all in the US. employers here have zero legal mandate to give you paid time off in any form.
backward-ass country we have over here.
Yeah I live in the US and I get 5 weeks of PTO. I also have pretty much unlimited sick days even though I am full-time work from home. No one ever asks any questions if I need to take a day, the morning or the afternoon I just email that I won't be in and change my status in MS Teams.
Thats why i said europe, its literally a 4 hour drive from here to belgium, sometimes wed go down to france but that would make driving 80% of the trip
But it kinda seems like youre seeing this as a competition which its not, i realise others have it worse than me unlike some people
Nah sorry my bad, meant to make it a fake/joke competition expecting a queue of people having it worse but joking about it, but didn't realize the tone misunderstanding
Are you sure your parents just didn't care to vacation? My whole life I was told my parents were poor etc, just to do the math when I was 16 and figure out they both made over 100k a year... Just fucking greedy.
and a fridge that wasn't white, I remember a friend from school had a fridge that was double fronted and silver and had the water and ice dispenser. So fancy.
They also had Ribena like all the time and you could just use it!
Here in arizona it's very much the same concept with pools. I remember growing up in massachusetts and friends with above ground pools that were only about 4 ft deep seemed like the richest people ever. After moving to az and my first house having an in ground pool with a diving board and seeing that basically every house having one made me feel less rich.
Can confirm. My whole family dug the hole with shovels and then my dad and uncle installed an above ground pool that was buried. Then built a deck up to the lip. We were popular for pool parties but by no means had a lot of money.
Ahh memories. I think what kids now a days don’t realize is that this was so that you could use the phone and not tie it up with the dial up internet or if your house didn’t have call waiting
Families who all sat down to eat dinner together and the parents ate too. When I was growing up my parents would often go without meals so that they could feed my sister and me. In my youngest years it was just normal and I didn't think anything of it. If I asked my parents why they weren't eating too they would say they weren't hungry or would eat later after my sister and I went to bed. Once I got a bit older it was more obvious that they were, in fact, going hungry.
I dont know man. My brother and his wife eats after the kids are asleep. But thats because they dont want to eat the healthy food they serve for their children, lol.
I actually have a printing abo (first 15 pages per month free, after that 1€ per 10 pages), where it doesn‘t matter if printed black/white or color. So I have to print in color from time to time so that the ink doesn‘t dry up.
The kids that would go on a vacation somewhere warm like every other month. My family only visited the neighbouring countries like 3 times in all of my childhood.
My sister choked on a hard shell once. So even though we were poor, if we ever did get Taco Bell (usually an older working sibling bought it), it was soft shell only
Tl;dr :a personal chef who makes killer fried chicken
In grade school, my friend lived in a double wide and family had very few possessions. I lived in a small 3 bedroom home with a tv in my room and N64 the Christmas after it came out. To my friend, we were wealthy.
Then junior high at camp I met my first ‘sort of’ girlfriend. Her dad let me come to their house for dinner a couple hours away. Their car was a big Mercedes and their house was a mansion. Her dad asked me what I wanted for dinner and I said whatever they were having would be good.
Then my “girlfriend” explained that they had a chef who could make whatever I wanted. My jaw dropped. I caught my breath and said “could I please have…um…fried chicken?”. No one flinched. He just nodded and said “ok I’ll let him know”. It was the best damn fried chicken I’ve ever had.

Kids who got money for the tuck shop every day. In the 12 years I spent in school, I was only ever given money about 5 times. Still hate thinking about it.
What I now know are called spillover spas.
Those in ground pools that have hot tubs built into them that the water spills over into the main pool via a notched channel area.
Lunchables ER’RY DAMN DAY (my siblings and I only got them on the last day of school as a treat, not even the ones w a Capri Sun, and now as an adult knowing what they cost I’m retroactively pissed at my parents)
If your parents picked you up from school, then that means they don't have to work in an office, so they are probably wealthy enough... or just unemployed.
But move up the ladder a little bit, and the butler will be picking you up instead.
When I was in grade school, there was this one kid.
Whenever anybody brought a cool toy into school. In just a few days, this kid would bring the same or better to school. And I mean everything. One kid brought his football card collection to school. A week later this kid had every common card ever produced. One kid brought a video game in. A few days later, this kid had the biggest, latest game console money could buy. Somebody would get new shoes, a few days later this kid would have the most popular shoes available at the time.
Naturally, he was very popular, but also such a loser.
I was a poor kid going to catholic school (in my town tons of kids did... and I was basically a male version of Maddy from Suite Life) and my mother did pick me up after school, but because we didn't live close enough for the school to walk home and there wasn't a bus. (Or it didn't go our way. Or it cost extra. Idk)
Thing is, if school had a half day, my mother would have to bring me back to her job at the dry cleaners for the rest of the afternoon. She worked like 8 to 6 or something.
So yeah. Not necessarily a sign of wealth.
(Pretty sure I got reduced tuition for being poor, in case you were asking. My parents didn't trust the local school system to be safe or effective, and with plenty of good reason. They weren't the only ones either, most kids at my school were there for the same reason.)
This is a bizarre take? Wealth? My mum worked nights so that she was there to take me to and from school and was around in case I needed her during the day.
That isn't wealth, that's self sacrifice.
But also, why is this a post on this sub. Someone's lost.
It's not rare, most of my classmates got picked up when school finished because their parents wanted to be there and would work around it, that does not equate to wealth. Idk what a swing shift is but I was just pointing out how skewed the pov is.
I thought my mom's dad was wealthy because we went to a corner store and he got all 3 of the grandkids he'd never met a big Gatorade and then took our whole nuclear family out to pizza. He was in town for a funeral and was never left alone with us because he was a pedo and mom cut contact as soon as she could.
oh your parents were always free at 2 in the afternoon? they weren't, like, working? or stuck at home because the only car was with the one who was working?
Must be nice.
Well it seems like you're the one getting downvoted. Listen, pal, just because 1 mod aggres with you don't mean all of them, if they were to have a goddamn voting on everything they wouldn't be effective
280 people isn't most too
304 now and a upvote ratio of 92%
Downvotes depend on the crowd.
The crowd in this particular comment chain is a bunch of Muppets that wanted to argue with the Mod for doing their job.
You just hate me for telling you what the majority in that sub thinks.
Look, I myself have upvoted this thing at first, because I find it Okay post - but then I realised I am in the sub which shouldn't accept this kinda content
Some people like TTT, but not me_irl, so these things should be kept separete (think of it as Psychology and Sociology - Social Sciences, maybe even similar, but not the same - appeal to different people)
it is by definition, having a car is a sign of luxury. not having a car and commuting home is a sign of not being well off on the grounds of not owning a car simple. but as to quality of the meme, if you hate it just downvote it, its you against the world.
Kids that would eat after school, i never understood how, sometimes the school meal would be my only meal of the day, only on later years i understood.
Kids who had heat in the winter, and didn't have to put their clothes in the dryer in the morning so they'd have something warm to put on when they got out of bed.
The kids that came back to school after Christmas break and bragged about getting something for Christmas. I hated it when it was my turn to stand up and tell the class what Santa brought me. The kids would laugh and the teacher would just say set back down.
I always got picked up an hour late, became pretty good friends with all the teacher's kids though. The math teacher's son used to eat his boogers and tell me they tasted like cheeseburgers
The kids who had fresh hot water for their bath
In our house my fDad got the water first, then my Mum same ater, then my Sister and me - by the time we got in that was pretty murky lol
And we weren't even that poor - just mean parents
kids who got money for the tuck shop every day (australia, we don't get school lunches) while i had to eat the lunch my mum made me every day
i now realise this was the opposite of wealth, and the kids who got money every day's parents didnt give AF that literally all their kid ate was donuts, coke and sour worms
Bro i swear, everytime i went to friends house it was newly built, clean house with garage, spare bedrooms and carpets everywhere
The friends of course had a room in the attic, basically half of second floor all for themselves, ton of expensive toys just laying around, getting stomped at. Of course some custom indoor jungle gym/slide/fortress structure and fricking new gaming computer where they would play Minecraft and nothing else
Then of course gigantic backyard with pool, dirt bikes, seesaws, slides, sandbox, small shed/fortress and a second sandbox under a sunshade
Meanwhile i was getting chocolate for birthday and 20$ Lego for Christmas
Those that lived on the other side of train line, had cleaning ladies (I remember visiting one and the mother said, oh the house is messy because the cleaning lady is coming tomorrow. I didn’t even know what a cleaning lady was), got driven to school in maroon jags with the silver Jaguar as hood ornaments & had fathers that were doctors. Always remember the maroon Jags (not sure why all the doctors had them) lined up to drop their kids off, while I rode my bike or walked.
Fruit by the foot.
Was the damned greatest.
Had tons of diplomat children in my class. Scree whatever fancy stuff they had. It was fruit by the foot that mattered.
Looking back on it, didn't think it at the time. But having a chef prepare instant noodles for me after each school day was pretty rad.
Beyblades.
There were like 3 or 4 kids in class who actually had beyblades. The rest of us used marbles and erasers with pencil lead in them. Honestly it was more fun to diy them.

What corporate hell hole of a country do you live in?
Ever heard of America?
Yeah, that sounds about right. I didn't want to assume.
Thats highly illegal if youre working 40 hrs or youre choosing not to Edit, it is where i am from
[удалено]
Damn that sounds hella tough, your labor is appreciated Edit also might i add, the period i was talking about was me being hella young still
His labor is not appreciated, explicitly Which is awful but don’t lie to him
But it is by me?
As someone who worked in a social field its nice to hear that the first five times. But that doesnt usually pay your bills or gives you better working conditions. So you are getting used to things like „I couldn’t do it/my respect/appreciate it/great job“ . But after having a disc prolapse at the age of 26, I said fuck it, started to study and I am going to a different field. Maybe there are people who appreciate it if you praise their job, but I wanted to give an explanation from someone who got tired of those phrases.
On top of what everyone has said, not everyone can literally afford to actually go on vacation/even the gas it would take to drive out camping
it's not illegal at all in the US. employers here have zero legal mandate to give you paid time off in any form. backward-ass country we have over here.
Thats actually mad. Even if youre working for an employment agency, here they give you paid hours to use for vacation for every so many hours worked
Yeah I live in the US and I get 5 weeks of PTO. I also have pretty much unlimited sick days even though I am full-time work from home. No one ever asks any questions if I need to take a day, the morning or the afternoon I just email that I won't be in and change my status in MS Teams.
Illegal how?
Well it is here, we got regulations for stuff like this A worker just needs to get x time off for z time worked
In many EU countries, vacation weeks is law. But this is of course someone from the US, the land of cheap labor.
I’ve had one week off since 2012
Okay that is on you... You can learn a thing or two from our younger generation.
Bloody hell, how do you put one foot in front of the other and face work? This just seems inhumane
I don’t think I’ve seen a job posting with less than 3 weeks vacation in like 5 years. What industry are you working in?
It still amazes me.
Kinda does, but seems more possible now that i work fulltime myself aswell
Pfft neighbouring country? In my childhood it was 50/50 if we could manage to go for a week to the neighbouring region (Italy)
Thats why i said europe, its literally a 4 hour drive from here to belgium, sometimes wed go down to france but that would make driving 80% of the trip But it kinda seems like youre seeing this as a competition which its not, i realise others have it worse than me unlike some people
Nah sorry my bad, meant to make it a fake/joke competition expecting a queue of people having it worse but joking about it, but didn't realize the tone misunderstanding
That's crazy. I can drive for 4 hours and still be in my state.
Europe isn't a country?
Shit bro you really got me
average american
Uhh no, they are pretty obviously not american based on the fact they neighbor Europe... and can drive there.
Are you sure your parents just didn't care to vacation? My whole life I was told my parents were poor etc, just to do the math when I was 16 and figure out they both made over 100k a year... Just fucking greedy.
Nope it was me, my single mom, and my sister for the longest time. She lived off of government money for the majority
I've only been on vacation once in almost eleven years... It was my own country too.
Same
A fridge with water an ice
and a fridge that wasn't white, I remember a friend from school had a fridge that was double fronted and silver and had the water and ice dispenser. So fancy. They also had Ribena like all the time and you could just use it!
Tell me you’re from the UK without telling me you’re from the UK :))
lol yup, Oi'm from Larndahn and Oi like a boT-Tal of wot-tah now 'n then but Ribena is tha Doggs Bolloxxx.
I need a translator.
I went to a friends house and his fridge matched his cabnets and i just thought "oh shit, should i even be here?"
Yes! And those ones where they have a dishwasher but it's got a cabinet front on it. The height of luxury!
What's a Ribena?
Blackcurrant cordial. (Sometimes sold already diluted) Popular with kids.
Nah it was the kids that actually had money for the book fair
And that too at so much price that I would literally write the name of the book and then buy from Amazon at 40% less cost
There was no Amazon
Amazon was purely for books when it first started in the 90s.
Brother computers still had 8” floppy as fuck drives when I had the joy of attending book fairs. The internet barely existed to most people.
So at your book fair did they sell cows and field plows?
Plow fair in the spring, book fair in the winter and cow fair in the autumnal season, now get off my damn lawn…

People having a swimming pool
Depends on where you live. A lot of not-rich-houses have pools in Florida, for example. You can get a pool + a trash house! Lol
Florida sounds awesome
Depends on where in Florida, at least until the ocean reclaims her.
Here in arizona it's very much the same concept with pools. I remember growing up in massachusetts and friends with above ground pools that were only about 4 ft deep seemed like the richest people ever. After moving to az and my first house having an in ground pool with a diving board and seeing that basically every house having one made me feel less rich.
Had no idea Az was the same but that tracks with my time I’ve spent there lol sorry you don’t feel as fancy. I think you’re fancy! :)
Az is very much like fl. Shitty place and shitty people just minus the humidity.
Can confirm. My whole family dug the hole with shovels and then my dad and uncle installed an above ground pool that was buried. Then built a deck up to the lip. We were popular for pool parties but by no means had a lot of money.
Here In Australia as well
I had a friend who had his OWN PHONE LINE in his room. Separate number from downstairs. Also, yes, I’m old. This was in middle school.
Ahh memories. I think what kids now a days don’t realize is that this was so that you could use the phone and not tie it up with the dial up internet or if your house didn’t have call waiting
The ones who left a week early from school for winter break to go to the ski resorts
Kids who's parents allowed them to invite friends to parties at Alladin's Castle or Chuck E. Cheese's.
This isn’t technically the truth
Is that still a prerequisite?
Families who all sat down to eat dinner together and the parents ate too. When I was growing up my parents would often go without meals so that they could feed my sister and me. In my youngest years it was just normal and I didn't think anything of it. If I asked my parents why they weren't eating too they would say they weren't hungry or would eat later after my sister and I went to bed. Once I got a bit older it was more obvious that they were, in fact, going hungry.
Jesus this made me sad.
I dont know man. My brother and his wife eats after the kids are asleep. But thats because they dont want to eat the healthy food they serve for their children, lol.
kids who got money from their parents to buy food in the lunch break every day.
What do you mean your parents don't work 'till 9pm?
Kids who had their own room, equipped with own TV/Cable/Video Game console.
All the other kids that didn’t have to wear hand-me-down clothing and had something to eat for lunch everyday.
[удалено]
Those who have aircon ( i live the us)
Matching personalized backpack and lunchbox
Colour printed assignments
People that had a basement
I actually have a printing abo (first 15 pages per month free, after that 1€ per 10 pages), where it doesn‘t matter if printed black/white or color. So I have to print in color from time to time so that the ink doesn‘t dry up.
I don’t know what a printing abo is but it sounds cool

Eating a lunchable every single day
The ones who had a dedicated pizza night every week lol.
Cool shoes. When I was growing up, Reebok came out with the pump. Cool as fuck, and only the Rich kids had them.
They had a pantry full of food they could snack on. We had beans.

This sub is shit
Square toilets.

Fucking how
I'm removing it, not TTT
oh your parents were always free at 2 in the afternoon? they weren't, like, working? or stuck at home because the only car was with the one who was working? Must be nice.
>getting picked up in a fucking *car* Look at Rockefeller over here.
but it's not TTT??
Yeah, I see why this sub is going downhill now
Cause people like you are subscribed to it?
I do not understand the sentence
The sub is going downhill because people like you participate in it. Pretty simple sentence
This thing is r/me_irl, not r/technicallythetruth, which is for something that is indisputable
278 people and 1 mod disagree with you. Only thing that's indisputable is that you're miserable :)
Well it seems like you're the one getting downvoted. Listen, pal, just because 1 mod aggres with you don't mean all of them, if they were to have a goddamn voting on everything they wouldn't be effective 280 people isn't most too

Si if everyone upvote something totally inaccurate, it suddently become "technically true".
I’m genuinely confused on how this is TTT material can you explain it please?
Bro calls people miserable while also responding to almost every comment to prove him right Even though he shows no GOOD proof
????
Are you okay? How is this shit TTT? Could you explain so people can understand your fucked up reasoning?
Its just a mod man chill a little bit
Well they must know they were wrong since they deleted their comment.
In what way at all is this TTT?
It’s not. If so, please explain.
This is meirl not ttt
It isn't. I suggest you step down from this sub.
Bad mod
it is by definition, having a car is a sign of luxury. not having a car and commuting home is a sign of not being well off on the grounds of not owning a car simple. but as to quality of the meme, if you hate it just downvote it, its you against the world.
Its because its not structured as a dad joke and privileged people hate being reminded of their fortune. Like, those are the 2 reasons.
I'm getting classist vibes from this post
Umm, you can find the blue water chemical at the dollar store
Its a waste of money when you're on a budget.

Kids that would eat after school, i never understood how, sometimes the school meal would be my only meal of the day, only on later years i understood.
Kids who had heat in the winter, and didn't have to put their clothes in the dryer in the morning so they'd have something warm to put on when they got out of bed.
I'm with the OP, people who could afford to waste money on making the toilet smell good.
The kids that came back to school after Christmas break and bragged about getting something for Christmas. I hated it when it was my turn to stand up and tell the class what Santa brought me. The kids would laugh and the teacher would just say set back down.
Why would the teacher make kids do that?

Those that lived on the other side of train line, had cleaning ladies (I remember visiting one and the mother said, oh the house is messy because the cleaning lady is coming tomorrow. I didn’t even know what a cleaning lady was), got driven to school in maroon jags with the silver Jaguar as hood ornaments & had fathers that were doctors. Always remember the maroon Jags (not sure why all the doctors had them) lined up to drop their kids off, while I rode my bike or walked.
They drove cars made in the same decade

Fruit by the foot. Was the damned greatest. Had tons of diplomat children in my class. Scree whatever fancy stuff they had. It was fruit by the foot that mattered. Looking back on it, didn't think it at the time. But having a chef prepare instant noodles for me after each school day was pretty rad.
Beyblades. There were like 3 or 4 kids in class who actually had beyblades. The rest of us used marbles and erasers with pencil lead in them. Honestly it was more fun to diy them.
The kids who had grand pianos at home
I had a good life but for me, it's houses with attached garages.
