Mine is upcoming cousin's wedding. His fiance's family is old money. They're having destination wedding out of town in a 5 star resort hotel. It's quite remote in the mountain surrounded by woods. They book rooms for 2 nights for family, and 1 night for guests. Pretty normal right? Well I just found out today that it's not some rooms they've booked, they actually book the whole resort for a day 2 days. All 212 rooms + 10 villas. They book 'em all for this wedding cause her dad wants this to be that private.

An out of touch story was during pandemic. The student I tutored told me one day she had to be home early cause she had her second vaccination at her house that day. At that time, second vaccination for Delta variant wasn't even out for health workers yet in my country. Her dad somehow managed to get em first cause he has connection with military and immigration people. My student told me with such ease while packing her stuff waiting for her driver, in an annoyed tone because she had to cancel her going out plan with her friends. She didn't even see anything wrong with what her dad did. For context, to get his hands on that vaccines before the health sector meant he did it through underhanded deals, which counts as corruption. It's not just assumptions, everyone with a working mind here knows if they hear the story, corruption runs deep in my country; the head committee for corruption investigation was also convicted for corruption 😂. My country has a huge problem with corruptions so yes, what he did was very wrong, especially on a time where even health workers were dying from covid.

Also on that note, I sound so bitter cause this student's parents who supposedly are so damn wealthy, didn't pay me the last month's tutoring fee 😂 told her I wouldn't tutor her until her parents paid me, then said she wouldn't come again anyway cause she was gonna study abroad, and they all blocked me and never paid me lmao

Edit: after reading some comments, I re-assessed and I agree that the first one is just shocking, not out of touch. But some of you who say the second one isn't out of touch need to do self reflection and think again what regular people would do normally in this scenario, without excess wealth. If you still think getting vaccines via corruption when people who needed them more were dying out there is normal, I'm sorry to break it to you, but you're part of the out of touch crowds.

Edit 2: some of you say life isn't fair because given the same opportunity, you would do the same. Well isn't it great to learn human's true nature at the prospect of excess wealth? Being rich isn't bad. Lots of stories here about how rich people using their money to help people because it's spare change for them, they're still good people. Being rich and not aware of the privilege you have, and to achieve what you want through illegal deals, is what's wrong. But hey, that's my set of morals, you do you. After all, like someone here mentioned, normalcy is relative.
