People the Whole World Can Do Without

Sometimes, you think the world would be a better place if all the people who thought they were better than everyone else just went away.
I nearly got into a scuffle with a neighbor of my stepdaughters. You see, today, we helped her move into her new apartment. After the traumatic last two weeks she had, she could finally move out of her sister's house. She even had gotten a promotion at work. Many people at work had bought her flowers.
Anyway, one of my stepdaughter's neighbors decided to shoot his mouth off. She had parked her car ACROSS the street while we got the trucks in the driveway to pack things. Her next door neighbor said, "Don't park that in my driveway!"
Mind you, this is across the street from the neighbor. It isn't his property. It belongs to the City of Broken Arrow.
It took a lot of energy not to go next door and cold cock the son of a bitch. First off, it's assault. I go to jail. He wins. Second,Oklahoma has the stand your ground law which states that you can justifiable kill someone if they are threatening your livelihood, or your family. Third, fuck the fucking fucker! Someone that bitter at life is bound to have a heart attack one day or a stroke or get his fucking ass whacked by someone who didn't consider 1, 2 and 3.
After he noticed that we were all leering at him with the "Just who the fuck do you think you are!" gaze, he backed up and said he didn't want to risk backing into her car when he backed out of his driveway.
Bullshit!
People say I am bitter. I ridicule a lot. I never have anything nice to say about anyone. I do. I have a lot of nice things to say about my friends. If I didn't, they wouldn't be my friends.
But I am sick and tired of everyone who thinks just because they make a little more money, drive a nicer looking car, have a big house or even have a bigger job think they are better than me.
People make smug comments that since I am a reporter, they shouldn't say stuff around me because I will report. I'm a reporter by profession. That's all. The other day, the retiring school superintendent gave me a hug and thanked me for all the stories I've written about the schools. She was talking about the good stories. There were bad stories. But you take the good with the bad. She didn't think she was better than me.
But many people do. Many people think they are better than you or me. They're not. They're insecure. Anyone who has to show off what their money can buy has major identity issues.
