Which brings me to this: there is a type of person that I truly hate, the type that I wouldn’t be able to stand directly next to for more than five seconds flat. This type of person I like to call as ‘Condascending Bastards.’ Men or women, it doesn’t matter, but it seems like there’s always one nearby when I am in the mood of talking about movies or music or what have you. The type that would say stuff such as: “WHAT? WHY WOULD YOU READ/WATCH/HEAR/ENJOY THAT? IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH BETTER IF YOU READ/WATCH/HEAR/ENJOY THIS INSTEAD!”, and then if you don’t follow their suggestions, they would not hesitate to cast that annoying condascending look towards you, as if you are a lesser human being when compared to them just because you like something different than their taste.
And as if I have not enough of them yet in the real life, the Internet is also teeming with that kind of people also. I have seen, and unfortunately, experienced that kind of condescending behavior quite a lot of times during my somewhat frequent visits to numerous forums all across the web. Maybe it’s because of the sense of security provided by the Internet that people won’t be able to do anything meaningful to you regardless of what you say about them, but the Internet is so chock full of people that always think that their opinion about everything is better compared to anyone else.
I usually just ignored them, but sometimes the way they acted or worded their subjective opinion towards me got me aggravated I felt like punching my poor monitor all the way to the moon, while at the same time cursing numerous unholy words towards the people behind those bloody screen names.
