A lot of really rich people are complete idiots. Wealthy people are not idiots, they worked long and hard for their money. But people that are born into a lot of money, or their parents have left in to them, are usually just flat dumb.
For instance:
I'm at work. I work in a part of town where the snooty and stupid rich thrive; better known as Utica Square.
A lady just pulled in a few minutes ago to a lane very clearly marked "CLOSED". She hits the buzzer to talk to us 3-4 times in a row, until finally, we get a few seconds to talk to her after waiting on the other customers. She says "Where is the tube?!" I say, " That lane is closed today ma'am, it's broken and we can't send it out. I'm really sorry, but you can pull into any of the other lanes, and we will be able to take care of you." Now, she didn't like that very much. It took her around 3 minutes to put her car in reverse, back up about 10 feet, and pull in to the lane to the right. When she go back to the intercom in the next lane, she buzzed in again 3-4 times, (it's the most annoying dinging sound. . .) trying to get our attention to tell us the following:
Customer: " You said the lane was broken and closed, but why wasn't the lane blocked off?"
Myself: "Well, we don't have any chains or anything so we turned the closed light on."
Customer: "Well, the light said "Clearance: 14', CLOSED, but no body every looks up there at the light, so I just drove in."
Myself: ". . . . Okay then."
So what just happened is that she didn't know how to back up her car 10 feet without taking 3 minutes to do so, AND she drove in to a lane that she very clearly saw said "CLOSED", and then tried to defend herself by saying "Well no one ever looks up there anyway."
