The pool of Narcissus

Inspired by a tweet in the Twitter feed #50thingsihate, this one relates an experience I often have on the bus or the subway -- a sense of irritation when people display sour and disapproving reactions to another patron's awkwardness or oblviousness, followed by the guilty prickle of irony.

Self-righteousness

Fed up with these pious egotists – all disapproval whenever someone steps out of line. Who are you to judge? I shake my head. The temerity.
