Tonight I experienced two (I think there was three but I just can remember the third) really obnoxious instances of people thinking they were hotter shit than they actually are. I think my biggest New York annoyance is people who think for some (typically incorrect) reason that they’re better than anyone else.
1) Hey, girl who is a reporter for some shitty website that I’d never heard of and is trying to muscle her fat ass in front of everyone else who has waited an hour plus to get a good spot because you’re attempting to take pictures for your terrible website with your shitty little Canon S350! You aren’t important. This ridiculous girl actually used the following sentences to justify her pushing her way through a packed crowd who had been waiting a pretty long time: “Have you ever been to one of these things? This is how they work. It’s my job.” If you had a real photographer, he/she would have been camped out like all of the other people rather than talking down to kids who were real fans and just wanted to see the show. She also had the gall to ask Kanye West’s tour manager to get her a drink when he walked by after she got to the front, he laughed in her face.
2) Hey, “King of the LES” A- Ron, few things made me happier than when you got kicked out of the show because, after trying to give Kanye West your business card while he was on stage— which he refused, you thought you could throw a glowstick at Kanye to the and get away with it. Not a good idea considering there was security everywhere who were keeping their eye on the crowd to make sure they weren’t videotaping, much less throwing glowing projectiles up on stage. Also, it was dick of you to, like the girl above, push your way to the front because you saw the much more talented and nicer Jeff Ng up front and thought you could mooch his patiently waited for seats. I’m pretty sure they didn’t want you up there.
