Expat Moment


this is where an expatriot from a first world country becomes so accustomed to the benefits of living in a developing country that they have expectations or express opinions that would totally unreasonable back at home.
eg. i am used to all of my dirty clothes magically disappearing from the floor in my bathroom and reappearing in my cupboard clean and ironed (and i pay very little for this service). but one day i go to wear my favourite shirt and discover it is still in the laundry. instead of walking to the laundry to get it with my own two legs, i get huffy and annoyed that my maid hasn’t brought it to my cupboard. (the expat moment !) this feeling lasts for a moment (hopefully) until i realise that i am spoiled and ridiculous and can get my shirt myself.
