Could you provide some examples of people making the opposite claim?
barges in completely naked, carrying nothing
"Don't mind me. I'm not important."
If you weren't important, the corporations wouldn't want to acquire your deepest secrets.
Like... Why you're naked & stuff...
No one would make that statement, but some sure as hell act like it when they're 'super busy or carrying a lot of stuff'.
I do, if i carry 20 folders and you don't go out of the way i will ram you because i don't see you and they are heavy.
If mere 20 folders are enough to block your vision, then go ahead, try to ram me, little one. I may even react to it, if I won't be drowning in my heavy, deep thoughts, regarding SIRIUS business & shit... 😬
Im talking about those
Me too, little fellow.
Do you know how big they are? Im 1,95 meters. Im pretty shure you are smaller.
Yes, I know how big they are, oh small one...
it does. you have something to do and that is important. if someone has nothing to do the least they can do is acknowledge someone else has more to do and therefore that's more important than the doing of nothing
Lot of assumptions in that silly generalization.
oh mine but not OP's? ok
They're both silly, yours just seemed more so to me because you followed up on a silly generalization with another silly generalization.
And my thing is the most important! That's why i pass on the shoulder, cut in at the exit, and push into the elevator first.
what the fuck are you talking about lmfao
Everyone thinks they're busier with more important things than everyone else. Wasn't that the point of the post?
Only if it's exaggerated for the sake of appearances. Some people might do that, either to make themselves look important or seek attention, but most of the time, people are in fact busy with some task, or are carrying something for a reason. And generally, that comes with some purpose that is important to them at the time.
It's a logical conclusion to draw, even if some people may hijack that reasoning to be deceitful.
Pfft! Spoken like someone who isn't super busy OR caring a lot of stuff.
