I remember when I was just starting out in my business career and I bought a nice upscale jacket. This jacket was affordable to me, maybe it was $200.00, but most people of my then current status would not wear such a jacket. It is seen mostly on upper class people. Well, one day I rode my bicycle to the supermarket in the US this guy sees me get off my bicycle and as I'm walking into the store he starts motioning like "Yea, you're not rich. You just got off a bicycle. You're fake".
I thought this was interesting particularly since I had heard there is a type of bird that is of light color but there are some that are dark. These dark one have status in the bird community. Sometimes a light colored bird will roll around in berry ink to become dark. If other birds discover this they peck at the "fake" bird.
So this is almost exactly what happened to me. But it has happened at other times with other things. Has anyone else experienced this, too?
I will add that when I "made it" everyone shut up about anything I did or said. I just find it fascinating that people behave like that. I could care less if someone with little money wore expensive Gucci shoes or whatever. I might be like "Maybe they have little money now but they are showing they want to and maybe will have a lot money in the future.".
