Why Can’t We All Just Get Along?
(during high school) (after high school)
If patience is a virtue, then I am one of the most unvirtuous people around. I have so little patience that it’s amazing I haven’t already killed myself out of frustration. This lack of patience stems from my carrying obscenely long grudges against people. For the most part, I don’t tolerate mistakes…particularly the mistakes that are borne from a person’s lack of social skills. If you need a clue as to how I think a person should act, then my answer to you would to THINK OUTSIDE OF THE ONE-DIMENSIONAL PLANE. See, the problem with some people is that they think only about the immediate affects of their actions, and not the long-term consequences that result from how others react to those actions. That’s how you trip up. Thinking too much about yourself, basically. My dislike for people who do crap like that comes from ALL OF MY HIGH SCHOOl “PEERS.” Those losers…if you’re looking for the most superficial high school around, that would be MY high school: Kaiser High. If you wanted to measure your popularity, then you would have to count how many breaks you spent smoking in the bathroom. The more you smoked, the more friends you had. And to become prom queen, all you had to do was spread your legs. Despite all their stellar behavior, for some reason, all those people thought that they were better than people like me—and that meant that they wouldn’t really associate with the “out crowd” unless it was to try to borrow homework.
So imagine how GREAT it is to go to a restaurant and be served by one of the former popular elite of my class. They pretend as if they never looked down on me before, and all they want to do was be my friend. They make crappy small talk and try to build some sort of foundation between us while they’re pouring me water and giving me bread. But I hold long grudges, people, and when the opportune moment to bite back is presented to me like that, then there is no way I’m going to let it slide. Many a good laugh came at the expense of others, and I expect many more to come.
Yes, I should be better than that, and yes, I shouldn’t begrudge them for something that happened many years ago. But like I said earlier, I am without virtue. If you make a social mistake, then you pay for it. And I would like nothing more than to bestow upon you the gift that is my social punishment. So what does being the bigger person matter to me? IT JUST DOESN’T.

You? Unvirtuous? Wait, am I the last person to know?
HAHA, I love your cartoon!!!!
Revenge is a dish best eaten cold …As much as I understand why you will indulge in having your vengeance … I just think these people are beneath my notice and my acting out against these people just validates that their actions have some significance or impact on the state of events down the road. They were barely beneath my notice in HS .. why should they be occupying any more of my precious time and energy 15 years down the road?
