And?

One more post, then back to my margarita (oh, the anticipation). A complaint if you will. Many times, in discussions with professionals in general, if complaints have been lodged against someone's personality or demeanor, I've received a flurry of excuses, but none so often as the phrase "well, he/she is 'really smart' ".

My response? "And? How does them being smart have anything to do with their lame-ass personality? or why should that excuse them from being rude? I don't care that they are "SMART". If they were smart, they'd treat people with more respect and gain more friends than foes."

Okay, venting complete - back to margarita - I could go for a good 'ol fashioned brain freeze!
