Eat the rich...
(...but then they'd probably taste as yucky as they act...)
...or at least kill them.
I am sorry - I truly am (in all honesty though, not really).
I HATE RICH PEOPLE.
Look I have tried- really I have, and, despite what others may think or feel about me I think I am somewhat nice. I try to be nice. I can be bitchy no doubt but I am not cruel, nor rude to strangers. I try to not be judgmental but sometimes, it just slips through...
Case in point, today.
I had the opportunity to go to Trader Joe's because I was trying to buy a case of wine for our wedding. Well, next to the Trader Joe's is a store called Anthropologie. Please understand, I like nice things - I would like to be able to afford nice things - instead what I do is go to places where I like their styles and shop the clearance racks...it's a way for me to afford things I otherwise could not. I do not care one jot about money - but I still like fashion, and style....it's the artist's eye within me...
Anyhow I picked out a couple of pairs of nice pants that were on sale and looked really good on me. I got into line. A woman behind me (obviously wealthy), without saying 'excuse me' basically began speaking to me. She asked: 'How long does this usually take?' (I was like WTF). I said: 'How long does what usually take?' She says 'Checking out'. I looked at her like she was nuts. I said 'It takes as long as it takes' - (for those of you out there who are now angry with my attitude, shut the hell up - I don't care what you think - you may think I was being snotty to this woman and you'd most likely be right - but my answer was honest - how the fuck do I know how long checking out would take for each individual? Besides, what a stupid question to ask, if you don't have time to shop - then just don't). She then asked me if I knew the company that owns these stores. I answered her that I did not know. She then stopped a sales girl and demanded to be waited on....meanwhile I had 3 sets of people in front of me and she had several people in the queue behind her....
I just don't get it. Why must they be so rude? Why do they feel that because they have money, they are more privileged or entitled than the rest of us? I have tried over and over to get over myself and how I feel about this - but I've come to the conclusion that I simply can't. I am not going to not shop in these stores if I have the ability to do so - but I will also not keep my mouth shut anymore when facing blatant rudeness...
Enough ranting for one day...

all animals are equal. some are more equal than others.
Perhaps this is how they feel - I kind of believe they do. This what high-school was like.
