I will listen to every word that comes out of the jackass's mouth waiting for them to say something stupid or at least something I can turn around on them to make them look stupid. I also can't wait for them to screw up something they are doing so I can make them look like they are incapable of doing their job. I also will sabotage what they are doing if no one is around to see me do it. :twisted:

One guy who use to sit there at work screwing with his cellphone when he was supose to be working was making fun of me for not wanting a cellphone telling everyone I am too stupid to use one. He left to deliever parts to a client but he left his cell phone at his work area so I changed all the phone numbers stored on his cellphone by one number. I also put a goatse picture as his computer screen background he could not figure out how to change his background. Everyone at work refused to help him because it was too funny to see his reaction when he turned on his computer. My boss made me show him how to do it so he could do it to his brother who did know how to use his computer either.

One thing I say is, " I know a thing or two, I've been to college." The college line helps. Then, they figure they are not talking to an under
educated dolt, which is the assumption they make., They also don't have the nerve to ask, "You've been to college?" which they know would be really insulting. Usually they have a look that says they've been caught, like a deer in the headlights, only they don't look at me. They look down. Or, maybe they didn't realize how they were sounding that it came off as insulting?

They're tastier when you fatten them up first.



But seriously, I rarely get mistaken for dumb but condescension is still common because I don't get a lot of the simple things that people take for granted - like making comments appropriate to the conversation instead of obliquely related. In new situations I don't say much so at first people will assume I am perhaps a little "dim". Eventually I'll say something that puts that to rest, sometimes to their great surprise.

Depends on my mood...I'll usually ignore it, sometimes I'll do the same thing back to them.

they do not need to be fat. they are instantly on the menu once i have decided i do not like them.
thin people make good soups. "bully's skull" soup is satisfactory as a snack , but the nutrition derived from "bully's skulls" is almost not worth the effort to search out.

people see that i am not at all like they are immediately when i meet them. they extend their warmth and it gets sucked into my "refrigeration duct" (negative attitude toward gushing affection with no provocation) and i fail to "bond" with them.

they think for a short while that i am quite disabled, but when i release my software that they have to use, they understand that there is an aspect of me that i can never share but i will always utilize, and they close their cases against me.

not many people consider me stupid, even though i am worlds apart from normalcy.

i just do what i have to do and go home, and that is the end of my association with people, so they do not get a chance to consider me much

I don't think so. I think of arrogance as one thinking they are better than someone else. For example, people who look down on me. They think they are better than I am, because they feel they are more intelligent. This assumption on their part is based not on fact, but by their own ignorance. It is also based upon, ironically enough, lack of intelligence on their behalf.

I, on the other hand, KNOW I am more intelligent than they are. Yet I do not feel as if I am superior. Nor do I treat them, or anyone, as if I am better than they are. I'm merely stating the fact that I am more intelligent because it has some relevance to the discussion at hand.

PLAN A:

No, you are wrong. You are the idiot. You are just too blind to see that. You think you know everything, but you are wrong. You do not understand; you have no idea.

PLAN B:

Huh? I thought I heard something. Whatever, it didn't sound important.

PLAN C:

But you forgot to take into consideration the effects of tachyonic fields. Don't you remember anything about quantum field theory? Special relativity is for noobs.
