People who are assholes to you when you are really coureous to them.. But when i say assholes, i don't necessarily mean people who will cuss you out, in fact i'm not really talking about them... Take a look at arrogent teenagers... Sure they might not "talk shit" to you, but you know what you're talking about when you are around them... Snobbyness, conceitedness, etc. you get the picture so i guess the old saying "Treat others as you want to be treated" is bs. I guess the best approach for people like this is "treat others as they treat you". But what believe it or not, what gets the best of me is my open mindedness. There are a ton of people who are i guess you can say really got their shit together and won't give two shits about people of the same younger age range that might have not chosen the same path in life. I however am open minded and it gets the best of me? why? well to be honest and obective, most of the people i beat myself up over sometimes really aren't exactly the people i'd choose to want to live like.. But still, they are people.. And because i treat everyone the same, i get end up getting fucked over.. of course the severity ranges a lot.. so i guess in conclusion, i feel better now.. But sometimes, i wish i could go to a party where everybody is cool with everybody, no matter how "uncool" they are and they dont get judged.
Great rant. I've noticed quite a number of folks- usually (but not always) teens and 20's who are just ~too good~ to acknowledge the rabble who so clearly dwell beneath them. These folks, when one might make eye contact and nod a greeting will quickly look away and act as though they didn't see the attempt at civility. My term for such folk: supersnots. They feel they are soooo super specimens of humanity that they are entitled to be snotty to folks who don't somehow measure up. In reality these folks have no class. True class has little to do with social standing- it is that intangible that make everyone comfortable hanging around you... the ability to talk with ANYONE and not be conceited, condescending, or insulting. People who are unwilling to reciprocate courtesy have no class. They are to be pitied, not hated.
that was a rhetorical question - you didn't need to answer. but still, calling somebody a "supersnot" hardly makes your opinion more valid. or makes anybody care.
No it doesn't, but it has nothing to do with the validity of my or anyone else's opinion. Someone with class doesn't have to give a flying fuck about my opinion- they just have the decorum NOT to make it apparent by using body language / averting eye contact. Besides my point wasn't necessarily a conversational observation.. it's the mere refusal to acknowledge a greeting... and it could be that the person is in fact insecure or shy but it comes across as snotty. They were not taught manners.
