What you may not have considered is that people like even less when someone complains about trivial problems during their wealthy upbringing.
"Mother! The staff is whinging again!"
- ryanmolden 14y agoI'll assume your comedy detector is mis-calibrated, I have a hard time thinking someone could post here about the "tiresome whining of their servants" in anything but a joking manner.
- krichman 14y agoI surely hope so. It was such a derivation from the topic at hand (rags to riches vs. complaining servants) that, if it was satire or irony, I don't get what the joke or lesson was supposed to be. Edit: Perhaps the lesson it that they are tired of reading hard work your way to fortune stories? That does make sense, I was probably wrong in my comment above.
- codexon 14y agoI don't mean to put down any rags to riches people but if we were to believe the often repeated lessons, then we should be shipping ourselves to Africa in order to become the next billionaire. I smell survivorship bias.
