Chessic Dense, if your rant were about how much DC Metro transit sucks for making 40 people share one machine while the rest were broken, everything would have been kosher crab cakes. It might have even been kosher if you mentioned some a-hole on a power trip making things worse if there were actually an a-hole on a power trip making things worse, so long as that person was someone other than you.
Positive. I even called him “sir”, like I always do. I’m glad to see at least one other SDMB DCer will cop to having done the same thing.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
You know how upthread people were trying to anger me by saying that my boss needs press releases? Or that I should be doing some menial task instead of posting on here? Why do you think that type of comment would be insulting? Because it’s implying that I’m of a lower status in life than I actually am.
Everyone knows class exists. You just don’t talk about it out loud unless you’re trying to insult someone. That’s why when I was getting lectured, I said to myself “Save it for the message board”. I didn’t say it out loud.
MeanOldLady: you raise good points… although it takes someone with the short-sighted planning skills of an intern not to put a buck or two in a useless Metro card while on their way OUT of a station (as in the previous night, coming home from ten cent wing night at the Cap Lounge) in order to avoid any lines while going to work the next morning.
No, they were calling you a liar. Anyone who has to tell you how important they are is much less important then they think.
Class exists, but it sure can’t be bought with money.
Did “Save it for the message board” honestly run through your mind as this event was unfolding?
No, you dense little fellow you. The reason people are mocking you about it isn’t that we care about class and recognize the truth of what you say, but because you so clearly care about it.
Call me an intern in DC, and it doesn’t bother me. You are so hung up on your alleged superiority, whether gained from your race or your important position, that it is fun to tease you about it. I highly doubt that you are, as you claim to be, “at the top” in DC.
That you feel a need to brag about your alleged status paints a big fat target on your back as far as I am concerned. I see wankers like you way too often in bars in Clarendon or on U Street, which is why I don’t go there anymore. By the way - that MidWestern intern you’ve been buying drinks for all night hoping she’ll give you a hand job later? Just keep on telling everyone in the bar how important you are and I am sure you’ll get lucky with one of the semi-conscious skanks you’ve been buying drinks for all night.
We always knew you had it in you.
So - you knew how to sneak in, but didn’t know how to sneak out?

Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time! (Or if you are too stupid/scared/slow/unathletic to complete it successfully.)

I miss DC. I loved riding the Metro. I never had a problem with ANY Metro employee. Of course, I treated them the way I would have wanted to be treated if our roles were reversed…
Chessic Dense - well at least one part of your screen name is appropriate!
Preach it, sister.
Is there a pamphlet or something about “How to Tell Your Loved One You Have Developed a She-Penis”?
I guess I could just send him a link to this thread and hope he sits me down for a Very Special Conversation.
I guess the DC Metro system is some kind of Roach Motel.
Or some variation of the Hotel California.
Chessic Dense, huh? I preferred Non Sense.
That’s why I rent it! 
Yes. It often does. Why?
I love it how pointing out obvious racist incidents make one racist. Apparently overhearing “That’s what I hate about white people!” makes one racist. And how many times do I have to say that Jamal and the racist employees are different people?
Whatever. You can keep making things up, knocking them down, and collecting Doper high fives if you want to. Don’t let me stop you.
I don’t feel the need to brag about it. I feel the need to use it to insult the guy on an internet message board because it’s undoubtedly true.
This proves that he’s a true Doper, whatever about the other stuff.
Maybe what they hate about white people is our straight hair, or how easy we are to pick out of a crowd at Church’s Chicken? You don’t know that they weren’t hating on observable differences between us, do you? 
Just because society has warped values doesn’t mean you should too. You know it’s bullshit, so why endorse it?
Psst, olives. Maybe he doesn’t know it’s bullshit.
I asked because it really provides the cherry on top of everything else.
No, this sort of thing makes you look like a racist:
