DON'T YOU HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE BETTER

[+] ballot by larrynelmira
ACTIVE Thu Jul 05, 07 - Fri Jul 04, 08

or put you down because they have different taste in music, tv, movies, food so on and so forth?

People do it all the time, I see it on this site as well, maybe it's not even a Conscious thing, it's done so much it becomes part of their personality, but it's condescending and it really errrks me.

Just because you like something I don't makes you no better than me.

If you prick me, do I not bleed? If you tickle me, do I not laugh?

Some people really need to get off their high horses.

I agree
I disagree
I (try to) find it more funny than offensive

I could never understand those who feel it their duty to correct others for their mistakes. You spelled this wrong fart face, You forgot to use a comma you cock face, You used their instead of they're meat microphone muncher. What the hell is wrong with people that exhibit such behaviour?

I get it from this site too.

I get that a lot from people in general, because my tastes in movies and music don't match someone who seems to be "nice", and then all of a sudden they think I'm an obnoxious jerk because I like "obnoxious" humor and music.

I wonder why people are suddenly doing a 180 on this issue.

Correction in ballot description

Should have read , "Just because you like something I don't , does not make you better than me"

"Let he who lives the perfect life throw the first stone", if I may dare to paraphrase...

Easier said than done though it is, the best thing is not to take it personally -- assuming one even knows what "it" is to begin with. Plus "it" is a lot harder to ascertain when you have no facial expressions, body language, or vocal intonation to go on - as with the Internet. If you feel someone is being directly condescending, you basically have two options: 1) Tell them honestly (and diplomatically) how you feel; or 2) Beat them with a hose full of BBs.

It makes me wonder if people can ever really live in peace when they will despise each other just because of the kind of music they listen to.

^ yeah, people like Hyacinth Bucket , she's a good example of what I'm talking about

^I just remembered this, couple years ago on this very site about that very show, I mentioned I kinda liked Keeping UP Appearances and was told some not so nice things about my taste in entertainment. I can't remember exact words, but it fits into this ballot, isn't that interesting?

I wish I was as brave, proud and bold as those who listen to Eminem and watch MTV's "Next" bus. 017

i find that people take things far too much seriously. the wrong things, the big things, not so much

I love Keeping Up Appearances, although I know it's not trendy.
