Do you ever mentally mock people, people that you see while you're out during your days or those that you are in the same social situation with? Are you sometimes a silent snark?

Constantly. People are stupid.

Yes! I was waiting while Thing 1 got a haircut. This lady comes in with a 4-5 month old baby boy on a hoody and blanket. No mittens and BARE feet!! It's 25 degrees here. I was silently chewing her out. I wanted to say something so bad. The poor baby is going to get frost bite.

Every........single.........day. In a shoppng line I just tell them to their face though. I say things to the rude customers that are hassling the checkout people just because of the products in the store with a vengence. Once I whipped out my phone and talked into it " I will be there soon as this asshole is done in front of me, then smiled at them"

All the time. Stupid asshole roktar does it verbally.

The world is full of stupid people put here for my entertainment and to piss me off.
I get some of both everyday

Yeah but some of my random thoughts sort of horrify me. I get brutal thoughts some time. Usually, just snarky but sometimes they're just plain mean.

Not anymore no, my instincts have changed.

Now when I see an asshole all I do is wonder what the root cause of their assholeyness might be.

No, my new profession taught me the important life lesson that being an asshole to an asshole is a complete waste of time and effort.

If people see someone give an assehole some shit most people don't think “good for you!” They think “great, now there are two assholes”.

That's a good point. I don't lower myself to the assholes level. Most of the time. Ex Vhole or XXXX or XXXXXX. I always end up in the better position because I'm NOT an asshole.

There's something to be said for taking the high road...

...and for looking down one's nose at those who don't.

...but just to clarify, sometimes there's satisfaction to be found in being a big asshole too.

Oh yes.

I majored in being an asshole in college.

Now I am like the Tao - walk on grasshopper!

Sometimes the whisper is louder than the shout.

Being demonstrative is often not the answer.

Who can be bothered? I am mentally exhausted at the end of my day sometimes. I beat myself up in social situations, feeling inadequate at times, can't say I project my own shit onto others.

I just don't feel as confident in myself as most people. You should see the amount of makeup I wear to work just to feel 'adequate'. If I knew why, I would fix it.

She's a slick one, this one. Don't let her troll you like Clang did, CN.

You need to get over the gay ex husband that was never going to work unless you grew a cock and balls. He was clearly in denial.
