frr in tak faham

There is this article today that talks about how NY was voted the most rude and arrogant state by some magazine.Since it was published in AM New York of course the response was outrage and aw hell no New Yorkers aint rude at all blah blah.

But as I'm sitting at work I'm thinking about how rude and stressed everybody actually is. I really see it being a "floater" receptionist at a really big company. First of all, execs come in and see there is a new person sitting here (I fill in for the usual receptionist) and rather than talking to me they nudge whoever their with and point and me and look at me out the corner of their eye like "Who's that?"

It's so rude because it feels like you're being talked about and maybe I'm paranoid but I feel like they hear me screen calls and make fun of me for how I sound on the phone. (I am really not good at phone etiquette, and since a lot of the people who call in here think they are super BFDs they are often really rude and talk fast and I either don't understand them or get thrown off and scared so I mess up my words and then the assholes on the phone make fun of me) A few people have introduced themselves.But the ones who don't are the worst. Pretty sure they seriously think that they are "too important" to be speaking to me.

This one woman who works in the office has never said hello to me but has walked by and looked right at me several times. I mean come on. Women are the worst.The men are friendlier but they have more of that tendency to make fun of you/flirt which gets on my nerves too.

This is why I wanna work in academia. At least if those people are jerks it's because they think they're smart and not because they think they are better because of their Brooks Bros suit and the fact that they work in television which I guess is just sooo cool.I never want to see another Brooks Brothers suit again after this. Maybe I should leave NYC.

Come to think about it though, when I'm stressed out I'm just as rude. I push people out of my way on the street if they are dilly dallying around and I'm in a bad mood. I have gotten into actual verbal battles with people for doing the whole "running into" dance, because people never want to be the ones to get out of YOUR way. I've had head on collisions because I was too arrogant to move over..I guess at the end of the day you get so sick of people you want to choke them all.
