I Am Very Important!

“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.”
– Abraham Lincoln

A friend relayed a story to me about a time she was picking up some medicine at the pharmacy. While she was waiting, another man arrived and tried to pick up his medication too. It seems that his medicine was supposed to be ready an hour ago, but they still didn’t have it. This made the guy upset.

How did he choose to express his anger? Did he point out the bad customer service? Did he explain how vital the medicine was to his health? Nope. Instead, he said this:

“Don’t you know who I am? I am a doctor! I am very important!”

Wow. I am surprised he didn’t follow that up with “I drive a Dodge Stratus!”

Here’s today’s quick lesson: if you have to say “I am very important,” chances are you aren’t…

P.S. If you don’t get the “Dodge Stratus” watch this disturbingly hilarious SNL sketch.
