12 Times When Celebrities Did Normal Things But Were Still Clearly Out of Touch with Reality

Some celebrity moments are so ordinary on paper that they should blend right in, but somehow they end up reminding everyone just how different famous lives can be. A grocery run, a car wash, a trip to Disneyland, even a simple ATM visit can turn into a very public reminder that money changes the rules.

This roundup pulls together a dozen times celebrities tried to do normal people things and still managed to look completely disconnected from everyday reality. From the Kardashians to other familiar names, the reactions were often less about the activity itself and more about how out of touch the whole thing felt.

One of the biggest examples came when Kylie and Kris Kardashian went grocery shopping, and the backlash was immediate. The rest of these moments are just as revealing.

1. This is such an odd reaction to a car wash.

Kylie and Kris Kardashian went to a car wash and grocery shopping, which might be considered a chore for us, but to them, it was fun. They reacted to the car wash as if it were a thrilling amusement park ride.

2. Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are also ones who have done this.

Bill Gates and Warren Buffett attempted to work a shift at Dairy Queen to portray themselves as 'normal,' but they struggled with the ice cream machine.

That reaction says a lot all by itself.

3. When a normal family vacation still puts them above everyone else.

Kim and Khloe Kardashian took a trip to Disneyland, but they cut in line to get on the teacup ride, making other riders wait an extra 30 minutes before getting on.

4. The Real Housewives have made a lot of questionable decisions in trying to do normal things.

Kathy Hilton from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills tried to sweep up something she spilled, but she did it with a grill cleaner—definitely not what a 'regular person' would have used.

Even a theme park line could not stay normal for long.

5. I don't think they'd choose to buy 7 limes with their $29 in food stamps.

6. I mean, honestly, wear what you want on the subway.

Nene Leakes rode the subway on Real Housewives of Atlanta but decided to wear 6-inch Louboutin heels.

7. To think that these people have no idea what an ATM machine is means they have too much money.

Ellen and Michelle Obama went to CVS, and Michelle didn't even know what an ATM machine was.

Some of these examples are almost hard to believe.

It also matches the cash-strapped friends who wouldn’t pay their vacation share, and the blowup that followed.

8. Boxed wine is definitely something that we normal people love.

Michelle also had no idea about boxed wine.

9. This isn't exactly what we would consider camping, but okay.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills went 'camping,' but their version of camping definitely isn't what we would normally do if we said we were going camping.

10. I feel like this was too much, honestly. They didn't make the right choice with this one.

Michelle and Ellen went grocery shopping, but they brought 'to-go' bags that included Louis Vuitton bags, which are extremely costly.

11. How have they never had a debit card, though? I just don't get what these people are doing with their money.

Erika Girardi never deposited a check or stepped into a bank until she was 50 years old. She said she's never had to because she never had a debit card.

12. When a 'typical date night' turns into a celebrity date night.

Justin Bieber wanted to take Selena Gomez out on a date, so he rented out the entire Staples Center. Most of us go to the movies or something, but okay.

These instances are actually mind-blowing and quite surprising. I mean, I knew that celebrities lived different lives than we do, but the fact that they don't go grocery shopping or have never used an ATM really blows my mind.

It makes you wonder exactly how they handle things like finances, groceries, car washes, and more.

Some celebrity habits are just impossible to miss.
