There used to be a time when you would take people's feeling into consideration!
The other day, I was at work minding my own business trying to solve a Rubik's Cube when some guy who works two floors up, who I have never spoken a single word to felt it important to distract me from my algorithms.
I wish I could remember what he said, but whatever it was, he gave me the impression that he may have had a hint in solving it.
I casually replied, "I think I am doing OK.Llook I've got my cross and now my corners are lining up!"
This guy had the audacity to say to me "Looks to me like you're looking for validation".
I KNOW!!!
Who says that to someone they DON'T know. So I say "Looks to me like you are an asshole!".
Nooooo, I didn't say that, but I wish I did...I wish I was one of those people who are always ready with zingy comebacks. Meh, who am I kidding, I am a nice person, I still would have reacted the same way.
The look on my face must have been priceless. I am assuming it was a one of bewilderment.
I unsurely replied, "Err no, I... ummm. I think I can do it?"
And then this guy says "Looks to me like you're getting defensive". Is this guy for real?! Did I just walk into the Twilight Zone?! Is this real life?
I have no idea what I said after. I think I looked at my colleague for help, but the guy spun around on his heels and left.
You know what, I may not drive a fancy car, or have some fancy job two floors up, but I am good peeps. You man, are just a shitty run of the mill jerk! A dime a dozen!
And you know what I solved that cube, so YA how's that for Validation!
