Bunch of kids from high school used to think we were rich because our house looked big from the outside. I remember one of my school friends came to my place to work on a project and saw our *gasp* 36'' flat screen tv that we had back then.
After that he kept acting weird around me and saying I was a rich snob.

Shit like that hurt me. My dad worked hard to be able to afford nice things.
