<p>They say the rich are different. And the people who drive them around have a front-row seat to those differences.</p><p>A <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/n1aj57/chauffeurs_who_drive_around_rich_people_what_are/">recent Reddit thread</a> asked, &quot;Chauffeurs who drive around rich people, what are some of the weird/shocking conversations you have overheard?&quot; The answers prove that some people are just living in a different world.</p><h2>1. Boo hoo!</h2><blockquote> <p>[She] said to me &ldquo;The billionaires are pricing us millionaires out of the neighborhood&rdquo; she referring to her gated community in Park City and I was apparently suppose to feel sorry for her.- LifeWithAdd</p> </blockquote><h2>2. Uhhh... okay!</h2><blockquote> <p>Buddy of mine ended up picking up a Netflix producer while doing uber. He said they had a great conversation as he brought him to his hotel. The producer invited him up for a drink and since my friend was a film student he thought it&#39;d be a good idea to go and try to get some good networking in. They hung out for about an hour when he asked my friend if he knew of any massage places with &quot;happy endings&quot;.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><p> </p><blockquote> <p>He didn&#39;t but the guy paid him $500 to bring him to the closest massage place which was only a few miles out. Upon dropping him off he gave my buddy a card and said &quot;there&#39;s a big party/festival I&#39;m hosting. That&#39;s your ticket in. I&#39;ll let you know then if I get that happy ending haha!&quot;</p> <p>He got the happy ending - catsandtats001</p> </blockquote><h2>3. Maybe he just didn&#39;t care.</h2><blockquote> <p>He thought i couldnt speak French, heard him telling his wife on the telephone where she should order a strapon. - Puddle_Boots</p> </blockquote><h2>4. $10,000? Sounds like a bargain.</h2><blockquote> <p>I&rsquo;ve have multiple people pay me handsomely to let them smoke weed in the car. Heard a French guy yelling at his wife that $10,000 was too much to pay for 2 bracelets that she bought. Also over heard a lot business deals with absurd amount of money referenced. Like 10&rsquo;s of millions. - icd1222</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><h2>5. Who has this much money in college?!</h2><blockquote> <p>Drunk guy leaves his wallet on a van and another driver calls it in so me and another supervisor can take it to campus police. We pick up the wallet from the driver and open it to get the student ID so they know who to email. There had to be a few grand in there and when we called the kid to tell him about it he told us we could just keep it because it was too far from his dorm to bother picking up. K. - prailock</p> </blockquote><h2>6. This doesn&#39;t add up.</h2><blockquote> <p>Rich kids are rich but foreign rich kids are usually on a different level. Was talking to a guy from Spain who said his dad did something with movies over there, idk. He had an actual rolex on and ended the conversation with &quot;So anyways, do you know where to find any meth?&quot; - prailock</p> </blockquote><h2>7. Sorority girls are on another level sometimes.</h2><blockquote> <p>I picked up a couple girls from A Chi O and they spent the entire ride talking about how it was ridiculous that one of the girls&#39; parents planned on making her pay for her own apartment after graduation and there was nothing even livable under $2K a month. The school is in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. - prailock</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><h2>8. This is so unfair!</h2><blockquote> <p>About 25 years ago I had a summer job at a very tony country club. Six figure joining fee, five figure continuing membership dues, and that got you nothing but the privilege of paying top dollar for rounds, food, etc.</p> <p>I was a porter some of the time, as we had cottages on club grounds for members to stay and make a weekend of it. One of my duties was driving members to and from airports - usually private airports for private jets.</p> </blockquote><p> </p><blockquote> <p>One time I&rsquo;m driving two guys to the airport, and one of them starts complaining. Seems he and his wife are always fighting over who gets the jet every weekend, and where they want to go.</p> <p>Well, the other one replied, my third jet is actually just gathering dust right now, since my son went to college. Wanna take it off my hands?</p> <p>They shook on it right there in the van. - letsryan</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><h2>9. This sounds cool.</h2><blockquote> <p>I had a job as a runner. I would pick up music artists from the airport and drive them to the venue, among other things. I won&#39;t name the artists, but I picked up one duo from the airport in an Escalade. It was raining heavy that day and I had the windshield wipers on next to full. It created a beat. One of the guys has a small, hand held sampler and starts making beats in time with the windshield wipers. All of us were driving along, bouncing to the rhythms. It was sweet.</p> </blockquote><p> </p><blockquote> <p>Another time, I was driving a famous songwriter/guitarist back to the airport after the gig with his family in a 15 seater van. His family was telling him how great he was, but dude is old. All he could say was, &quot;What?&quot; and &quot;Huh?&quot; It dawned on my he couldn&#39;t hear. Bob &quot;Percy&quot; Plant can&#39;t hear s***. - robo-tronic</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><h2>10. Even WWE guys feel small sometimes.</h2><blockquote> <p>I used to know a Chauffeur, he ended up driving around some big stars. He was big dude, like 6&#39;8&quot; and super muscular. His best story was when he was driving around a few WWE (WWF back then) stars, and they awkwardly asked him to not get out and open the door for them because he&#39;d make them look smaller. - SayNoToStim</p> </blockquote><h2>11. &quot;Ohhh right.&quot;</h2><blockquote> <p>Wasn&#39;t exactly a chauffeur but I did have the distinguished privilege of working with a multimillionaire one time for a couple days and I was just astounded at how out of touch he was with people.</p> <p>One conversation he was talking about how he hated all the new homes they were building and he liked old castles so he was having a castle in scotland disassembled and reassembled here in the US piece by piece.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><p> </p><blockquote> <p>On another occasion he asked me why I wasn&#39;t in college yet (the job was after high school and I was working as a plumber) and gave me an &quot;Ohhh right&quot; when I told him I couldn&#39;t afford to go yet and had to save up. - whoreychan</p> </blockquote><h2>12. They know something we don&#39;t.</h2><blockquote> <p>I was driving as Uber and I picked up two business men in an industrial park. They were building developers.
