Some things it's better not to admit to.

Maybe she should stick her hand in it and turn it on.

Evidently people have been suggesting it to her.

This is some kind of virtue signal. I've lived in apartments without one - and I had a guest shove sh** down the drain thinking we DID.
But this is a special kind of stupid if she's never seen one. According to Wiki, half of all homes in America have one,
and they've been around almost 100 years.

Or she has no clue around a kitchen. But I do find that hard to believe.

Of comedic value.

Just wait until she finds the drinking fountain in the bathroom!

Oopsie!

Aww, cut her a break. After all, she was a bartender, not a chef. I'm sure she knows all about the ice maker and blender.

They used to be illegal in NYC so very few places have them. Just shows that her horizon ends at the city limits.

So this is the upscale posh apartment that she couldn't afford and why isn't there more affordable housing and no one should need to live in such a posh place?

She grew up in a normal home, not the ghetto, and has certainly used a garbage disposal before. This is the sort of thing that makes me hate her: she's being an elitist bitch by pandering to what she perceives as the "downtrodden" who she thinks don't have such fansy gadgets in their homes.

 

[Monello]

Be very afraid.

This is some kind of virtue signal.

The entire messaging episode is one long virtue signal. Including the part where she plays "pretend poor." Her version of The Jeffersons.

It's not a question of ghetto. It's simply that few buildings in NYC have in-sink garbage disposal. Its just not common as it was illegal until about 20 years ago.

I agree on her being fake poor. She grew up middle class and went to a selective college.
