I just had another close brush with the pandemic that is sweeping the globe. Yes, idiocy would be what I'm talking about. Now, far be it for me to make fun of pizza delivery guys (they already have it hard enough as it is) or Italian guys (I have nothing against Italians; if I did, I'd have killed my roommate months ago) but this one particular guy just irked me.
He asked me where to find Condo #727 so I proceeded to tell him. He then proceeded (in a rather petulant tone) to cut me off and told me that he already knew where the Condo was at. He seemed, by this point, to be wholly consumed in some sort of Italian bravado, acting all flippant and in the grips of a temerity so severe that he didn't seem to realize that I was starting to get annoyed. So then I looked him in the eye and asked him why he asked me where to find the condo if he already knew where it was. He said something to the effect of, "You no listen. I tell you again. Where I do find this condo?"
At this point in time I was starting to get really pissed at this guy. I knew that he was Italian but he was acting as arrogant as a Frenchman. I took one more look at him and said with as much civility as I could summon, "I think you can find it on your own." Apparently, my tone of cold indifference was so spot-on that he got pissed off at me and did one of those dismissive waves with his hand and stormed off.
My question is this. Why in the hell would you ask someone where you are supposed to go if you already know where you're going? I'd say the guy was just being an asshole (a given anyway), but he genuinely seemed to need help.
Biting the hand that feeds you, much like asking for directions that you don't actually need, is counterproductive and it makes you look like a moron. It's kinda like if you were to say, "I know how to fuck but where does my dick go?" If you said that, you'd sound like a retard. But then if you took it one step further and got pissy with someone who was kind enough to tell you, then you'd sound like an asshole. Thus, my theory that people who get uppity when you try to help them are nothing more than a bunch of failed retarded asshole fuckers.
P.S. I'm back and it feels pretty damn good!!! Being a jackass, I mean. I should try to write scathing remarks about the general populace on a daily basis instead of just once in a blue moon. It's quite therapeutic, really! Hmmm... therapeutic. That almost sounds like "the rape you took." Interesting, I guess. But a bad choice of words, nonetheless. Maybe I'll just say that my return to scathing S.O.B. remarks and commentary is like a breath of fresh air to me. wOOt!
