You Are Not Better Than Yourself

Recently I talked to my best friend about my pet peeve with people thinking that they are better than their own lives. I think the only way for you to understand the point I am trying to make are real life experiences and I promise I couldn't make this up if I tried.

1. Elevator Attendant at the Club
Recently I was on the elevator of a popular club and me and my friend got on to ride it when we noticed an opened lipgloss on the floor. Of course we told the attendant because we wouldn't want someone to step on it and it shoot out or they slip sue the club. The attendants response (in a friendly manner): "Man fuck that lipgloss I ain't even trippin on this job, this my little side job people better just watch they step, shit." My response: Blank stare

2. Waiter at the restaurant
Usually I go to restaurants and when I have no clue what I should order I always ask the waiter they prefer or what they think I could get. Last week (again I couldn't make this up) the waiter said: "Aww I would say the salmon but the way I make it at home is way better. I be tryna tell people I'm about to open my own restaurant." My response: "I feel you"

3. Girl That Lives in LA
My friend asked a girl what clubs were popping on Monday nights in Hollywood. Her response: "I only really go to exclusive vip parties and so those parties aren't open on Mondays but try Playhouse or Kress." -_- My thoughts: B*&)^ just say Playhouse or Kress

4. Publicist Trying to get Hired
After a successful event a friend wanted to meet up with a potential publicist to talk over partnering so he asked the potential publicist (who has been begging to get hired) what days work for him. His response: "Any day just not Friday through Sunday because I got A LOT of big parties that weekend so I'm gonna be all booked up those days." Why not just say anytime after Sunday?

5. Guy Passing out Flyers
Recently I was walking down the street in BK and of course someone sell something. It happened to be a jewelry store and I needed to get my ring cleaned so I asked did they clean jewelry. His response: "To be honest I don't even be in there worried about what they do I just be tryna get this record deal I got going, I just got this job so my moms could quit trippin." My response: "Oh okay but so do they clean jewelry though?"

Now I truly believe in the upward mobility and knowing your worth in life and when you can do more. However, I also believe that a persons ambitions should not exceed their talents and it is not okay for people to think that they are better than the situations that they have made for themselves. You are who you are. If you don't like it, of course you can change it but do not downplay the reality of things.
