I’ll give an example:

A few months ago my husband and I flew back home from Los Angeles to Europe. While standing in line at LAX-waiting to go through check point for carry on-I see people removing belts, jewelry etc. I ask the security guard-very politely and with a smile- if I had to remove all my jewelry and answer was a short “no”. So I proceed to make fun and I said “ah good! Because it would have taken me hours to remove all these things!”
Response to this was a very obnoxious look and “wow, you must be really rich then!?” and then he walked off looking ****** .

So what happened here? I actually did mean it would take me hours because I have 8 rings that I can barely remove with soap, 2 necklaces and 3 bracelets that are difficult to remove. Total value is maximum $200 not incl my engagement ring. But he, for some reason, took this the wrong way.
