I’m So Much More Important Than You Are

We have all run into this arrogant person in restaurants, stores, on the road, just about anyplace where there is some sort of interaction with other human beings. This person is the person that in a restaurant, will make a scene to get the waiter’s attention, or physically grab the waitress so she will come to their table. This is the person who will rudely cut in line in front of dozens of other people, go in the out door. I’m sure you’ve seen this asshat all around town.

This arrogant fool goes through life with a huge chip on his/her shoulder and firmly believes that the only important person in the world is them. What, you don’t recall seeing this person before. I’m sure you have noticed the car in the left turn lane with his/her right turn signal on to get into the straight lane on the right and a row of cars stopped behind them. They are trying to get into the straight lane without having to wait in line like everyone else.

How about the knuckle-head that will drive to the very end of the merge lane just to get a car ahead of you? Or one of my favorite things to observe is the jerk that will ignore the lane closed ahead construction signs and refuse to merge like everyone else. Or how about the person who will simply leave his/her shopping cart in the middle of the aisle while they look for something on the shelves.

A few weeks ago at my least favorite store (Wal-Mart) sure enough there was this lady who parked her cart the long way in the aisle and then walked about 10 feet to a freezer door and proceeded to obstruct as much of the aisle as she could, as though her cart was not enough.

These are the same group of people that will talk on their cell phone during a movie, or be rude enough to smoke in the non-smoking section of a restaurant. Yep, that’s the person I’m talking about.
