One day of apartment hunting and I miss all the really _good_ fun! Considering you said the wittiest thing in a thread largely filled with white noise, I’ll take that as a compliment.

I mean, you clearly have no clue about the impact of your word choice in social situations. Guuuuuys, I really aaaaaam a high functioning Aspie. I plan to get some gubmint assistance for it too. Please be nice to me, like you’ve been to all the people in the various depression threads. _I just can’t help myself_, okay? **WordMan** , I have REALLY bad news for you if you think this is a social situation. Even worse news for you if this is where you’ve been getting all your social interaction. ---

> [@lindsaybluth](#): > > **WordMan** , I have REALLY bad news for you if you think this is a social situation. Well, this _is_ a social situation—a particular kind of social situation that is profitably distinguished from face-to-face meetings, but it’s a social situation nevertheless. Unless you believe us to be mere constructs. You clearly have a propensity to build prose that, perhaps knowingly, rubs others the wrong way, and this indicates some level of social deficiency.

[QUOTE=lindsaybluth] **WordMan** , I have REALLY bad news for you if you think this is a social situation. Even worse news for you if this is where you’ve been getting all your social interaction. [/QUOTE] The fact that you don’t see this board as a “social” interaction is all too clear. You have a willingness to stand in. Okay. But if you can’t see how the SDMB is social, you have no clue, AND have found yet a new way to be rude to the rest of us, the folks you aren’t being social with. ---

The original Child of Wealth thread reminded me of an episode of the Cosby Show where Vanessa got into a fight with some kids who called her “rich girl.” Vanessa’s parents informed her that **they** were rich but that **she** had nothing, other than what they gave her. Too bad **lindsay** ’s parents never had this conversation with her. Just so you peons know who you are dealing with, I had my own bed, all to myself. So there. ---

> [@Nzinga\_Seated](#): > > It really did have some gems. LizOnya earned a Delurk of the year award… Yes. I fucking died when I read that. I died. Since we’re all sharing our true feelings and tales of opulence, I’ll play along. I like **linds** , but every now and again I’ll be like, “Dude, where’d _that_ come from?” But hell, I’ve dropped the unnecessary snide on people just because I was irritated. Whatevs - when you’re rich like me, you can pay people to take your abuse. I once went out to a pub and I dropped a $1 bill on the bar top after ordering a drink for myself, and was responded to with smiles and gratitude by the bartender. She offered me a refill as politely possible when I was done, and was kind to my friends and me the entire evening. You know why? Because when I left her that buck, she knew that I was finna throw down _at least_ a 15% tip on the total tab. When you’re rich, you don’t need friends; you have sycophants. I’ve worked really hard for what I’ve got, and despite the seemingly endless wealth that I have now, all of that hard work that led up to it has really kept me grounded. ---

The thread was started last year, but then **MPBitch in SaltLake** bumped specifically for the purpose of being an ass. In any event, it seems like a lot of folks are making with the absurd claims of wealth because they’re funny. I think we stopped pitting lindsay on page 2. ---
