Can you imagine spending your whole life working, raising a family and saving money, only to spend your retirement complaining that seltzer water costs 99 cents? How about bitching about clam chowder from a chain restaurant once a week because they won't give it to you in your own personal containers because it would be a health code violation? What if you spent your free time being a cheap, entitled asshole and making it everybody else's problem?
I don't think most people strive to end up like this, but I've been working in customer service for a very long time and it's dumbfounding to me how many people spend their lives this way. I know it sounds petty, but you have to be at least a certain level of miserable to complain about paying $5 for a complete breakfast plus free coffee. If you're trying to haggle with a gas station cashier about the price of mini-donuts, you should instead go home and fuck yourself. Honestly, there is a very real segment of our society that is just obsessed with really, really stupid crap, and it's preventing them from being happy.
I'd say most people on this site are anywhere from mid-teens to late twenties. I'm pleading with you, please take some time to think about what's important in life. If you're constantly upset with people because your preferred brand of cat litter isn't on sale, you should start searching for some direction. Get a hobby, or volunteer at an animal shelter. I don't even think anyone here is guilty of this, but nobody starts out this way. I think it's just important that we all start thinking now about what actually matters. And let me tell you, yelling at minimum-wage workers because your iced mocha doesn't have enough sugar in it isn't going to bring you any fulfillment.
It's been a long day.
