Why is it that the loudest, most distracting people are the ones who get the most upset when another person is noisy or distracts them? With the first part, you’d assume the absence of the idea[l] of conscientiousness. But with the second, you can imagine that it’s there. Is it dormant? Are some people elitists who really think that their own thoughts, noises and work are more important than other people’s? Well, some people are; I know people like this. But are the people I’m talking about like that? Like the person who plays loud music but gives you shit when you talk too loudly on the phone; or the person who calls you to bullshit during the work day, after you’ve told them you’re busy, and then actually cusses you out if you email them between 9am and 5pm?
I mean, saying something like, “People are all selfish,” would explain it. But I think that’s a sweeping bunch of dookie. I know some people who think about themselves more than others.
At least I think I know some.
