arrogance

Hmmm, what to write today.....

Let's see.
I have decided I am a bit arrogant. But I have always known this really. I guess what brought this on recently, is my tendency to think I am interesting. I don't think everyone is interesting. Really I think not everyone is interesting to everyone. Convoluted enough? I am always fascinated by the more introverted, shy, mysterious folk. Maybe they aren't those things really, but how they seem to me. Certainly this doesn't mean I throw myself into this category. I just always enjoy figuring things out, especially people, how they work, why they choose certain things above others.
I go about my day, and see lots of people who look interesting to me. I just think people have so much baggage, and so many trust issues, that they are afraid to open up. Staying reclusive and quiet is easier as a self-preservation tatic. Just a few thoughts anyway.


Since this is a arrogance piece, I should mention the line jumper from the other day.
I was in line at the bookstore, standing next to the sign that reads: "PLEASE WAIT HERE FOR THE NEXT CASHIER"
I was next in line, two cashiers ringing, not a long wait obviously. This woman walks up, looks at me, smiles even, walks past me and THE SIGN, to wait for a cashier in front of me.
I kind of had this funny, what-did-she-just-do look on my face.
Then as the cashier opens up she turns to me and says
"oh, you didn't mean to go ahead of me, did you?"
Um, what? Do you know what a line is?
The other cashier was freeing up, so it wasn't a time issue really, so I just said
"whatever."
Who does that?
