I have a close friend that I’ve known 20 years who became obsessed with right-wing politics. even though I’m liberal, I don’t make it my entire personality and life. But anyway… I was talking to him this morning casually like friends do.
Me: “Hey man. Do you have off today for MLK day?” Friend: “No, I have to work today.” Me: “Damn, sorry to hear. I have off today since it’s a company holiday.” Friend: “Yeah, I work for a living. Guess that’s the difference me and people who live in an ivory tower.” Me: “Uhh I work for a living too. Idk why you’re acting like I don’t?” Friend: “I didn’t mean you specifically. But you’re off and I’m not so it shows that you get to relax at least. You should be able to handle the truth lol. There’s no shame in admitting that I’m a harder worker than everyone else. you shouldn’t be so sensitive”
Honestly, he’s not unique, either. I’ve met so many people who are conservative, obsessed with right-wing stuff, and they’re all like this. They act like they’re special and the whole world is lazy, “no one wants to work anymore” attitude.
Not sure about moist ;p haha, but he doesn’t sound like a friend. At the very least, not one I for one, would consider so.
Even if you were better off than him, not that it sounds like it or I am inferring it, he shouldn’t have to be an outright prick.
Playing the devils advocate though, reading your conversations without the right tone, I am wondering if he might have thought you were bragging about the day off.
What do you mean by moist? 🤔
I think he has no idea of self-perception. It seems like he is completely oblivious to it.
They’re just poking fun at a typo in your post title
