Everyone Knows One of These

It’s nothing new to you though to roll down your car window and fling your bag of trash into the street If the music's not your style you just toss it in the pile don't bother asking others what they think If it’s not a show you care to see you’re suddenly bored and wanna leave so you go down to the basement for a smoke And when the party’s winding down you wanna get more beer in town (but you need to bum some cash because you're broke) Never mind if hosts are tired Hey! YOU’RE wide awake! You’re wired! you'll just "hang out watchin' TV for awhile" Even though they're up at four you don’t have a job no more so what do YOU care if they're all tired? With no regard for anyone you say you're only 'havin' fun" you sit carvin' up their table with your knife. Just what entitles you To be this person that's so rude and takes advantage of the rest of us in life?

Good Afternoon Gayle. Yes, I believe we do know one of these. The whole concept is infuriating. You stated this issue and situation well and clear. I give you a clap for posting and for giving us reminders of enough is enough and take back our life. Well done entirely.
