Why are people so self-important?
Why are there so many self-important people in the world? I can't work it out.
Yesterday I was waiting in a quite long line at the university bakery and I almost had a seizure as the guy in front of me spent 5 minutes discussing with the girl at the counter what pie he should purchase. He was listing the pros and cons of each pie and asking about the ingredients of each pie and then listing the pros and cons of each ingredient. The girl at the counter didn't let on at any stage that she was enjoying assisting this piece of shit with his choice of pie and he would have had to of been the intellectual equivalent of a sandwich to not notice that there were 30 people standing behind him, sifting through their bags looking for a particularly sharp pencil to poke out his eyes with. Doesn't this guy realise that he's living in a society with other people? Nobody cares what fucking pie you buy. It doesn't matter.
Then I turned up to a lecture later in the day and I once again lost faith in all humanity when some guy approached the lecturer during a break, called the lecturer by his first name without first checking that this was fine by the lecturer himself, and proclaimed to the lecturer 'I like to think that i'm a pretty switched on guy. But i'm not following the material and I don't understand a lot of the words your using'. He said this just before mentioning that he's been out of uni for four years (god knows why - he probably discovered masturbating) and thus wouldn't have touched any of the prerequisite material in 5 years. Read a book, you cunt. If you're not following the basic introductory material in the first lecture of a course maybe you should stop to think for a second that it might be someone's fault other than the lecturer's.
Then when the lecturer asked the class whether they would like to go straight into the discussion period after watching a video he somehow managed to ignore the fact that the question was directed at 45 other people and proclaimed from the back of the room 'No, we should have a break. My attention can wander sometimes.' I don't even need to bother pointing out what's wrong with those events.
When are people going to realise that there's over six billion people in the world and nobody has time for listening and caring about everyone's opinions? Just buy a plain meat pie with sauce and sit in class without trying to get the course profile tailored to your needs as if you're the only one paying $640 for the course. The bottom line is, shut the hell up. You're nothing. All of you are nothing. Get fucked.

dear koskov,
i happened to have been at this lecture you speak of and i thoroughly agree with you. I dont understand why a man of such poor stature (wearing a wife-beater and pretending to know the entire class within 2 minutes of the first lecture)has the audacity to even make his prescence known. This young fool clearly has no idea how relevant this course is to today's society. I believe the delivery of the lecture was not only clear and concise but it was delivered by a humble, witty and an extremely attractive young man.
This comment is somewhat irrelevant to the discussion but I feel it needs to be made.
I have just discovered the O'Toole project (go to mp3.com.au and search for them). The song "Right pride world wide" is perhaps the greatest protest song ever written. 7 minutes and 50 seconds of pure power.
All comment readers who can guess who I am should come to our housewarming party on saturday night.
Jack knows who you are! and will be at your party, hitting on the females that attend, and possibly getting with them in Matto's large room!
and youre right russian. we are nobodies and no-ones, and we should accept that out existence goes without effecting the universe around us, except of course for a select few. examples i'll use include Hitler, Stalin, Clinton's Aide, etc
Have a good Thursday, i know i wont!

How I will approach every unsavory social situation in 2005:
"Read a book you cunt"
No need for the fowl language.
i assume you meant 'foul' as I couldn't find any reference to bird-speak in the comments for this post.
The point is very well made.
There is a certain percentage of the population who would be well served with basic lessons in how to walk in a crowd, so its really unremarkable that said young fool was so challenged.
It would be pleasant to think that they were in fact evil - that there was some deliberate attempt to niggle behind it. What makes the whole thing such a disgrace is that it arises from nothing more than ignorance, and an inability to recognise that the world turns beyond their own nose.
We need not be nobodies. We need not lose a sense of our own worth. But many of us certainly need to wake up to the fact that we live in a society.
Keep the faith
(and have a good time Saturday. I have a prior commitment, but would have loved to be there. I would appreciate it if the rumour was spread that I am at a big meeting with the 'sponsors' and will be arriving in 'about an hour')
