I have a friend who purchased a house late last year. It's an awesome two-story townhouse, and I've been over there plenty of times to help out with the moving and decorating and for hanging out. Her parents purchased the house for her and her partner. I truly have no issue with this as the housing market is terrible for buyers, so more power to them for being homeowners. I recently, unfortunately, inherited my parents' house, which is a three-bedroom out in the sticks. We went appliance shopping because most of the stuff in the house was 10 to 15 years old. We were standing with an employee who I had asked to recommend smaller items like toasters and kettles when the employee asked if I was moving out as general chit chat. I told him I was moving, and he asked whether I bought or rented. I told him bought because it was just easier and less awkward than telling him I inherited the house. He told me that was cool and began talking about toasters again when my friend cut in that I inherited my house, not purchased it. The employee went quiet. I gave her a, what was that face? I was taken aback. She continued on saying, yeah, I purchased my house. I asked, does it really matter? I'm here to buy some kitchen appliances, not tell this guy my personal issues. She grinned and said, it's just for the record, which made me more confused and annoyed. I replied, oh, okay, then it's just for the record. Your parents purchased your house for you. The employee quickly retreated and she walked outside of the shop. I caught up with her and she said I was a massive asshole for pointing out she couldn't afford to own without her parents' help. I returned with a very similar, my parents also helped me with getting a house too, just in a really terrible way. My partner agrees with me saying that she's the one that opened that door. But our other friends are split almost 50-50.
