humble pie, you need a slice (:

Some people just simply need a very generous, hearty, whopping serving of humble pie. I baffle me how some people can just be so arrogant, so dignified, speaking and acting like they know everything...only problem is, they're not! It drives me nuts just listening to them talk like they absolutely know something for a fact, when in fact, they don't. Ugh! Is it so hard to just be humble and say, "Oh, I don't know? Perhaps you can fill me in?" or if that's too much, then just shut up! If you have nothing constructive to say, then just not say anything. Why interject with stupid comments? It serves no purpose whatsoever; it doesn't make them look any better (well, maybe in their twisted mind it does) nor will it make the other person look stupid. It will only make that person despise them more for that unnecessary comment. Then if that's not bad enough, every time they go down, they make sure they pull everyone else down with them. Again, unnecessary.

Reasons for unnecessary arrogance:

1. They just like to hear themselves talk
2. They want others to think that they're oh so great, oh so smart, oh so cool. Note the operative word here: think (because obviously we don't)
3. They are trying to make up for the inferiority complex from within
4. They think they're oh so great, oh so smart, oh so cool. (Um, at least one of us thinks so)

Anyway, rants aside, perhaps I'd just share with everyone the recipe for humble pie (:

I highly recommend this yummilicious pie to the arrogant, stuck-up, I-think-I'm-so-cool people. It's fat free, low carb, low calories, zero trans-fat, and extremely good for the body and soul. Have a slice. In fact, please have a few pies. (:
