Stuck up people

Now I have had it!!!!!! What is it with my fellow "country of birth" migrants? There is absolutely no other group of immigrants who are as stuck up as you lot are!!!

Goodness me! This is the normal conversation pattern whenever you meet one of THEM for the first time... They start off with a series of standard questions:
  1. In which suburb do you live?...... that is to determine the possible price range of your house
  2. Do you rent or have you bought?....ok , so you live in the right suburb, but did you actually buy the house?
  3. Which school does your child attend?.... can you afford a private school or do you go public?
  4. What does your husband do?... ok, so where do you fit on the social ladder of society?
And then, if your car is not visible, they will eventually steer the conversation to try and find out what type of car you drive and boy oh boy if it's not a 4x4, you fall right off the ladder!

Because, you see, Australia is not a country where people care a lot about the cars their neighbours' drive, the size of their neighbours' houses, or their job titles which then means that the only other people these poor idiots can compete with, are their fellow country of birth migrants.

So if you were wondering why I mostly avoid you, this is the reason why!
