I had this happen recently. I'm kind to everyone, no matter what, even if I deplore everything you are with every bit of me. Even if I hate you, there's a chance you'll be useful to me at some point, and burning bridges is never a good plan. To get me to hate you is a feat in and of itself; I'm incredibly collected in all social forms

Except

If you treat somebody in a service position as a lesser person, I swear to all that is good that I will make it my personal crusade to tear you down in every way imaginable. Talk to your waiter like a servant, or an animal? Refuse to say 'please' and 'thank you'? Yell and scream because you get a power rush since whoever they are can't make a rebuttal for fear of losing their probably dreadful, minimum wage, back-breaking job? Or the one that actually happened recently, scream at the bus driver to stop like you own her because you have to pee, while on a privately chartered bus to sorority function? I will have your pin. I'm not even a girl, or in greek life.

This was great :DD I'm seeing a trend itt of perfectly nice, warm people who lose their shit at disrespect and inequality. Sounds just fair to me. I wonder why it doesn't bother the people who do it??

Edit: i'm not actually in wonder lol, some people just decide to be selfish, that suits them better than effort for empathy. I, for example, like to go out of my way to get someone to smile, but I can't quite stick a reason for it.
