tell me a story

[cos]

Tell me a story of something someone said or did that was so outrageously beyond chutzpah, it could only have happened if the person in question had not only a breathtaking sense of entitlement, but also no idea how out of line they were. They didn't just have a lot of nerve - they had no clue they had a lot of nerve, and observers could barely believe it happened.

Hi! I've seen your comments around all over LJ, and OkCupid just spat your profile at me with a 98% match, so I figured it might be time to check out your blog. I know this post is ancient news, but here's another tale of blagojevich for you.

An ex of mine with whom I'd stayed friends called me once, saying he needed to talk to someone. A woman he knew had just sent him a text message informing him that she had breast cancer and asking him not to tell anyone, and he wanted to rant at me about the fact that she'd told him via a text. He felt that it was impersonal. Upon my suggestions that a) he should be focusing on her needs rather than his just then and b) he shouldn't be identifying her by name to me if she had asked him not to tell anyone, he blew up at me for being insensitive to his feelings.

Hey there. That's a perfect story, just the sort I was looking for! Clearly he had no clue what he was missing, which is when people show true blagojevich.

98%? I think we should meet! Feel free to write me there. Huh, and I notice we have several LJ friends in common.
