Now you know one more.

Kids watch Netflix or movies from the library, during certain times of the day, with permission. Not philosophically opposed to TV, but topology limits our over the air stations and cable is expensive to me for what you're getting (and since we don't watch TV, we'd either waste the money or stop doing something we were doing to get the time to watch). I do note that when I catch some TV traveling or something, it's very in-your-face and just manically trying to get your attention.

Back on topic, I don't personally see that attitude in my workplace, luckily. At least, not for bicycles. Around here a lot of the cyclists are those with extra money to burn, as it can be an expensive habit. The stigma is more for people with older/cheaper cars and bikes (guilty on both counts). Still nothing overt, though--it's sensed more than heard.

I'll consider dropping coin on a nicer bike when mine dies or perhaps I want to be more comfortable. It's some 20 years old though and still kicking. My rusting car is not exactly a status symbol but I'd rather have it dripping oil on the driveway than a new car sitting there dripping money for the handful of times I drive it a month. I've got more important things to spend money on.
