You need to make it a point to let people know how much more important your time is than theirs. To really bring out the D-bag, you need to do it in a passive way. You can’t just tell people you are superior. You must show them by wasting their time. Here are a few good tips:
Red lights: In your car, unless you are homeless, the only thing you should be doing is driving. While sitting at a red light, take this as the perfect chance to check your makeup, send an email, take a nap, or even work on your novel. It’s only a few seconds, but you shouldn’t have to worry about the light changing to green. When it does you can just keep on keepin’ on until you are ready to drive away… about the time the light turns yellow.
In line at the restaurant: Aside from a few select items (the God awful McRib), McDonalds’ menu hasn’t changed much in the 40 years. It’s the lunch hour and you have been waiting for 20 minutes to place your order. How is it once you get to the front of the line you still have to look at the menu and give the old “Um...ahhh…what about…I’ll take a Whopper.” Great. Not only have you wasted everyone’s time, you have ordered something from another place.
The trick to mastering this rule is to make people furious without acknowledging their emotions, or existence.
Yes, Yes, Yes!! Amazing!
