Reluctant People Reveal The Most Expensive Things They've Ever Held
[rebelmouse-image 18359358 is_animated_gif=If you have ever held something and thought, "if I drop this I will need to take out a loan to pay for it", then you can totally relate to these people. Try not to cringe as these folks tell us the most expensive things they could have paid for if they messed things up.
Terrazor asks: What is the most expensive thing you have ever held in your hands?
Put the gun down...
[rebelmouse-image 18359359 is_animated_gif=$145k Italian made double rifle in one hand and a glass of $7 wine in the other. I put down the wine when they told me the price of the gun.
Not fragile, but still very impactful

Kind of surreal. At the time I distinctly remember thinking "This is worth like 50 years of work for me." Just crazy.
No pressure
[rebelmouse-image 18345195 is_animated_gif=I was told the data I was responsible for not losing was worth millions. I was paid minimum wage.

You better be on your best driving behavior
[rebelmouse-image 18359361 is_animated_gif=I've driven a Aston Martin Vanquish, and all i could think of was "don't crash, don' crash, don't crash".
This piano had high expectations
[rebelmouse-image 18359362 is_animated_gif=I once played the piano that Rachmaninov took around the country with him when he played here. I don't know how much it was worth, but it was a nice Steinway, and it used to be Rach's. Also, yes, I did play Rachmaninov on it.
That's a pricey piece of a car

It's good to know the truth about those gold nuggets
[rebelmouse-image 18359364 is_animated_gif=Picked up a gold bar worth $250K back in 1988. Bloody heavy which has made me laugh at movies where they steal gold by putting 20 or so bars into each duffel bag and carry two bags at a time.

How could you focus on anything else
[rebelmouse-image 18359368 is_animated_gif=My violin teacher bought one of Beethoven's violins. She had me play it to feel the difference between a 1k and 250k violin. No I didn't focus on listening to the tone. I was focusing on not dropping/snapping it.
An impressive device tht makes you feel bad about yourself
[rebelmouse-image 18359369 is_animated_gif=A $25k radar thingy that my boss made me carry to the driving range so the computer could tell him he had a s**** swing
When you look at the price tag last
[rebelmouse-image 18359370 is_animated_gif=A $2,000 Rolex that the nice lady at the store let me try on, or the $2,000 Valentino bag that i didn't know was Valentino till I found the price tag
Creepy!

Interracial Couples Reveal The Biggest Cultural Adjustments They Overcame
[rebelmouse-image 18351636 is_animated_gif=Cultural stereotypes, and the judgments that accompany them, still present challenges for interracial couples. But dating someone from another culture has its perks too - different food, family celebrations, holiday traditions - all help to enrich our relationships. It's not always easy, though, as people still like to judge.
jbrown3152 asked, Redditors in interracial relationships, what was the biggest cultural adjustment you had to make?
Submissions have been edited for clarity, context, and profanity.
The Chinese ex was doing it right. Unopened and uneaten? Mine.
[rebelmouse-image 18351637 is_animated_gif=My ex-boyfriend of two years was Chinese, and I'm white (and Southern, while he'd lived most of his life in Chicago). We had some minor things like he would make fun of how much cheese I ate and I made fun of how much he learned to love sweet iced tea. But the one cultural norm we didn't even realize we didn't have in common was taking food home from special events. For white people, food left at the end of a wedding/event/banquet is for the host (whoever's paid for it) to dispose of/dispense how they like. In Chinese culture, mass to-go boxes are distributed and everyone takes home whatever they want. I remember being mortified at a wedding when my bf just snagged an entire, unopened box of cupcakes to take when we left. In my mind, he just stole cupcakes. What was so remarkable was that I thought he was being cheap and he thought I was being paranoid, and we never ever chalked it up to cultural norms. Learned this from a totally different (also Chinese) friend after we'd broken up.
Edit: I'm speaking of fancy or formal events specifically, not all get-togethers with food.
This seems like an easy adjustment.
[rebelmouse-image 18351638 is_animated_gif=So. Many. Hugs.
Family is family is family.
[rebelmouse-image 18351639 is_animated_gif=One I can answer!
My partner is from Zimbabwe. I'm from Scotland.
The biggest culture shock by far is how every older woman is called mbuya (gran) and every older man sekuru (grandpa). From what I understand their language (Shona) doesn't seem to have a word for aunties, uncles or cousins: everyone is just your sibling, parent, grandparent or a stranger. Makes it a nightmare to work out what the 'real' relations are.
Saying "I'm full" is a no-no in many cultures, and there's always so much food.
[rebelmouse-image 18351642 is_animated_gif=Not a current relationship but a previous one. I'm white and he's Hispanic. Meeting his family was really when the cultural differences showed. His entire family was super welcoming, immediately I was included in everything and made to feel like part of the family, that was definitely not the norm in my other relationships.
I found out that even if I'm stuffed full if his mom or aunt offered me food, I better take it. To refuse for any reason was extremely rude.
Authentic Mexican food is amazing.
We did go to a Hispanic dance club together once and I was treated like trash by everyone present because of being white, but that was the only occasion of people disapproving.
We broke up because he's a terrible person, but I still miss his family.
Celebrating for no reason? Sounds like a great adjustment.
[rebelmouse-image 18351643 is_animated_gif=My fiancƩe is black, I'm white/Asian. Everyone from her family is very loud but in a loving way, especially in public. So much laughing and clapping for no reason, I love it so much. My wasian family is very quiet and reserved and doesn't show much affection. Being in public and getting stared at is the biggest adjustment. Also the food. Anyone else love neckbone?
Well, this is different, and certainly an adjustment.
[rebelmouse-image 18351644 is_animated_gif=I am dating a girl whose parents are from East Boston. They call pasta "macaroni" and red sauce/pasta sauce "gravy." WTF
Doesn't seem like much adjustment is needed here, everyone is really well-rounded.
[rebelmouse-image 18351645 is_animated_gif=Meeting her family: lots of hugs, the family is important, you always compliment how beautiful the mom is and eat all of her cooking, when the dad drinks then you must drink, anytime they invite you to an event then you drop everything and go or witness their wrath.
Her meeting my family: shoes come off the second you enter the house, be prepared to gossip with the mom, constantly receive a small sentence of wisdom from the dad.
I am Vietnamese and she is Venezuelan. Both families agree we would have beautiful children.
Edit: RIP inbox. y'all some amazing people: ;)
Mothers-in-law take a lot of adjusting.
[rebelmouse-image 18351647 is_animated_gif=White male married to a black woman here. We have been together since 1988 and have a 19 yo daughter.
I am not sure there were any real cultural adjustments. I have read about people in interracial relationships getting all kinds of blowback/disapproval but we've not experienced anything significant.
My MIL finds fault with virtually anything but that does not seem cultural though.
Tearing down cultural stereotypes is a necessary adjustment.
[rebelmouse-image 18351648 is_animated_gif=My ex-boyfriend is Japanese. He and his family were very very proper, clean, and etiquette. The biggest thing was they were never really satisfied with his accomplishments. Every time he did something good they would always want more from him.
Edit: One thing I forgot to mention was that I'm Hispanic, and his family had some misconceived views on Hispanic/Latino people. The sister and dad thought I was going to be some sort of drug dealer or a gang member and were scared of me at first. His mom and brother thought I was going to be loud, good at dancing, and always say something in Spanish after every sentence. They were very interesting...
Learning your partner's native language shows immense dedication, and is a really noble adjustment.
[rebelmouse-image 18351649 is_animated_gif=Learning Spanish. I married a Peruvian who speaks perfect English and so I have trouble remembering what I learn.
I like the sound of the wild Christmas.
[rebelmouse-image 18351651 is_animated_gif=My husband is Mexican and I am white. The biggest thing we genuinely notice and laugh about is how Christmas is handled.
His family - mass chaos, everyone opens presents all at the same time. There is literally trash and Christmas paper EVERYWHERE.
My family - slow, meticulous, everyone patiently waits their turn to open their gift. We legitimately have someone assigned to trash bag duty.
This happens far too often - skin color shouldn't define love.
[rebelmouse-image 18351653 is_animated_gif=It's weird getting racist side-eyes from people of the same race as me.
Whether it's interracial or sexuality, let's not judge others on how and whom they love.
[rebelmouse-image 18351654 is_animated_gif=My interracial relationship isn't an issue with most people. They normally just are disgusted because we're gay.
Hot take: visits are one thing, but having the whole family in a hospital room is really uncomfortable. It was for me.
[rebelmouse-image 18351655 is_animated_gif=I'm Hispanic, my husband is Caucasian. When someone in my family is sick, the whole family shows up. We all sit in the waiting room for a surgery, come by the house with food during a recovery. When his own father had a cardiac cath my husband didn't go with him even though he had the day off work. I went with his father and his mother and he thought it was so extra for me to go. His mentality is that I can't do anything if something goes wrong. He said if something did go wrong his mother would call him. In my family, it's a show of love, respect, and support to be at someone's sick bed, even for a routine medical procedure. His mother didn't find it strange, his sister didn't go either. It's just weird to me. When his grandma had a hip replaced he went to visit her in rehab only one time and she was there for two weeks. If it was my family, we would take shifts so she would have at least one visitor per day and one home-cooked meal.
Oh, white people...
[rebelmouse-image 18351656 is_animated_gif=Black man with a white ex here. I have plenty of these types of scenarios. My favorite is the white people who assumed we weren't together when we walked into a restaurant. My ex was absolutely incensed! I laughed because I've dealt with that ignorance on more than one occasion.
Parties for everything? Why not?!
[rebelmouse-image 18351658 is_animated_gif=White trash married into a Hispanic household.
Everything is different.
They throw parties for everything. High school graduation was a huge deal, I had to convince my parents to come because I needed a ride home afterward. His family was shocked.
We don't cook when people come over. Just buy some pizza. His mom might kill me if I throw a party without cooking a bunch of homemade food.
Sleepovers, family coming over? Then it's assumed they will stay the night. Totally threw me off. Our family barely visits and when they do it's for a few hours then they're gone.
Is someone pregnant? Awesome huge parties and lots of gifts. My family? That sucks better figure out what you're gonna do.
Kids party? Lots of games n food n cake and gifts. My family, oh cool here's a t-shirt I have work so I'm gonna leave now.
A family member needs help? They're family best go help. My side? The most you'll get is a 'that sucks' there's no helping each other.
Been about 6 years now and I'm still learning.
The concept of "on time" varies greatly from culture to culture.
[rebelmouse-image 18351659 is_animated_gif=Different understanding of time.
Edit: to be clear she is latina and I am white. Doesn't make me mad, it's just a difference in culture. It's an adjustment I have to make.
It takes a lot of courage to stand up to white supremacy. Sounds like the stepdad needs the adjustment.
[rebelmouse-image 18351660 is_animated_gif=I'm black and I'm currently dating a white guy. His stepdad is a white supremacist, so going to his house always feels a little awkward.
Expanding your taste in food is one of the best ways to experience other cultures.
[rebelmouse-image 18349417 is_animated_gif=When I'm in a relationship I tend to eat less Asian foods to accommodate their tastes. I'm Asian-American and grew up eating a variety of foods. It was hard to adjust in the beginning because the people I tend to date (primarily small-town White-Americans) have a limited food palette.
Right now my current S/O has a very wide range of palette which I'm super duper grateful for. We've eaten a large array of ethnic foods compared to my previous relationships, but just not Asian dishes yet lol. Mostly due to us not traveling out of the city, where it primarily dominated by Thai, to the suburbs where there different facets of Chinese cuisines.
It's fascinating that dancing never caught on as part of American culture. But it's never too late to try!
[rebelmouse-image 18351661 is_animated_gif=I'm a boring white American and my fiance is Puerto Rican. Everyone dances, and dances well, except for me of course.
Gordon Ramsey Fans Reveal The Foods They Wish He Could Make Illegal
[rebelmouse-image 18350345 is_animated_gif=If Gordon Ramsey wins the 2020 presidential elections, pineapple on pizza will surely be deemed illegal. If you have ever watched him on TV, Ramsey has a thing for Lamb Sauce, and it better be on time and in abundance! These are just a few examples of food items and circumstances surrounding food that would just not fly if Gordon Ramsey was POTUS, in fact they would be illegal! This got people wondering what other food legislation he would have in store for us if he had his way.
Reddit user Snow776 asks,
This should be interesting!
Who likes garnishes anyway?
[rebelmouse-image 18350346 is_animated_gif=Inedible garnish is now considered a crime akin to assault.
Arguably the single most important skill in cooking
[rebelmouse-image 18350347 is_animated_gif=Egg cooking would be taught from kindergarten till middle school and intermittently tested on until you graduate.
You should not feel lost trying to order your dinner.
[rebelmouse-image 18350348 is_animated_gif=Any menu over 4 pages will be declared illegal.
It's important to stay authentic
[rebelmouse-image 18350349 is_animated_gif=It becomes illegal to call it shepherds pie if it's made with beef instead of lamb.
It must be done correctly!
[rebelmouse-image 18350350 is_animated_gif=Any type of meat that is frozen and then quickly warmed up is punishable by death.
No more corners will be cut
[rebelmouse-image 18350351 is_animated_gif=Microwaves are now illegal in restaurants.
An abundance of sauce, particularly of the lamb kind
[rebelmouse-image 18350352 is_animated_gif=Lamb sauce fountains on every street corner
No matter what the new law is, we have got to keep it fair
[rebelmouse-image 18350353 is_animated_gif=Any restaurant serving heavily fried food while be invaded for their oil reserves.
How much char do you want on the steak?
[rebelmouse-image 18350354 is_animated_gif=Well-done steak is now a federal offence.
Public humiliation for chefs who don't know their basics
[rebelmouse-image 18347243 is_animated_gif=Every single restaurant must serve beef wellington and Risotto, if either is undercooked the chef has to personally bend over your table and take a spanking.
That one time when you took the chicken out of the oven early and it sent you to jail
[rebelmouse-image 18350355 is_animated_gif=Serving raw chicken is an automatic establishment closure and 5y in jail
things might get a little more serious with the outdated grade sign on the window.
[rebelmouse-image 18350356 is_animated_gif=Restaurant health standards will sky rocket, and grade F will stand for Federal offence. There will be an official way to cook a steak. There is now a black market for ketchup.
Wait, that's legal? *gasp*
[rebelmouse-image 18350357 is_animated_gif=My dad is thrown in jail for his crimes against food
Eating a hot dog bun with only barbecue sauce on it. Putting jalapeƱos in his brown beans. Putting warm milk on his cereal (and then letting it soak and get all soggy). Eating uncooked noodles, or over cooking them on purpose. Dips bananas in hot sauce
The man is practically a felon
Closed-mindedness never got anyone anywhere, but they do have a point
[rebelmouse-image 18350358 is_animated_gif=Deconstructed food and hipsters aren't allowed on the restaurant premises.
Violence is never the answer, but again it's a good point
[rebelmouse-image 18350360 is_animated_gif=If it's not served on a plate, the chef gets beaten in the face with what ever ridiculous thing they served it on instead.
Food fixes everything, right?
[rebelmouse-image 18350361 is_animated_gif=All worlds disputes will be solved by cooking competitions
With all this legislative power, we could make so much free to everyone
[rebelmouse-image 18350362 is_animated_gif=Sonic Cherry Limeades are now FREE
We should also reconsider how we see our food
[rebelmouse-image 18350363 is_animated_gif=Tacos are considered sandwiches.
Less processed foods would be a truly great adaptation for all of us
[rebelmouse-image 18350364 is_animated_gif=If the President somehow did Congress's job without their interference or involvement? Well, first off, Ramsey'd probably be using the Food and Drug Act to create a standard for pizza that excludes pineapple as a topping. Digging into that, he'd figure out how totally f* that decrepit law is, and he'd probably re-focus on sorting it out a bit, especially advertising around food and the definitions themselves. I would imagine he would push the food clauses far away from processed foods. He's a problem-solver by nature and I just don't think he could dig into that legislation without wanting to improve it as a whole.
These are probably the top two things Gordon Ramsey would deem felonies
[rebelmouse-image 18350365 is_animated_gif=I would join the pineapple pizza resistance.
Runny scrambled eggs are now a felony.
