Executive Decision

Last nite I was at a charity event and two people happened to be seated at our table without our knowledge. Fine. They weren't happy with their seats and wanted to sit next to each other. Fine. I tried to work it out, but at the end of the day we couldn't. So anonymous person 1 and anonymous person 2 (who, I must say, are not that anonymous in real life if you know what I mean) decided to give me the stink eye, ignore me and talk over me in order to get to the person next to me, who happened to be an It Girl type, in other words, someone who anonymous 2 wanted to suck up to. I know It Girl very well. She is one of my favorite people. She was nice and gracious to anonymous 2 who was having what I like to call a "true colors" moment. #2 did not know who I was and didn't care. If she had known, she might have been nicer. The point being, she's apparently only nice to people who she deems "worthy" of her attention for one reason or another. Wow! That's unfortunate, isn't it? I wonder how people get to that place. Either way, life is too short. So after listening to #2 blabber on about how fabulous she is and suffering through snotty looks across the table from #1, It Girl and I moved seats as subtly and quickly as possible, leaving both parties slightly shocked and appalled. Whatever. I imagine other people would just sit there and put up with their crap. Not I, sir! Not I.

Yup
