I'm rather surprised with these responses here. I rather expected this big backlash for being so condescending and altogether contemptuous but instead, I got a well done you'd be a good employer some day.

I don't get it... I speak of my snobbery, my contempt and pity at some peoples' stupidity and I get a response of its being a life affirming post??! I assume you were sarcastic Alex?!

This is actually my third job and yesturday I was insulted more than anything I have ever endured. I was having lunch and sitting with an older, married girl (25-30) whom I had never spoken to before and some guy. So we made some polite conversation and then she asked me where I lived. She completely judged my social-economic hierarchy based on the suburb I lived in and she said 'you don't need a job, you live in a rich suburb' yet it was said with such disdain as if I taking the food away from a family who 'needed it more'. It sounds pretty petty now but at the time, I was thinking .."I fucking earned this job. I went through the nazi strict three hour interview process as well as anyone else!" My family is not particularly wealthy but why do I need to justify myself to a complete stranger?

Yeah I now it sounds petty now but I just need a cathartic release or something. It just made me so fucking mad!!
