I am annoyed by "important" people. We have a lot of important people in North Virginia

They are the ones who cut you off in traffic because clearly getting to their destination is way more important than yours

They are the ones who butt in line because their time is much more important than yours.

They are the ones who throw trash on the ground when the trash can is just a few steps away (or worse simply leave it for the unimportant people to clean up.

They are the ones who simply must answer their cell phone and talk loudly because their lives clearly take priority over yours. coughcoughmovietheaterscoughcough.

They are the ones walking down the street focused on their electronic device and expect others to get out of their way because unimportant people really need to recognize their responsibilities for getting out of the way of important people.

They are the ones being rude to service people who are just trying to do their job, because service people really should be able to recognize important people.

They are the ones who generally don't follow the rules (legal or social) because they are exceptional and rules are for the other person.

And they are the ones who whine the loudest when, after being caught violating the rules, have to accept consequences (legal or social).

I am getting sick and tired of important people.

They are seldom that important.
