...how most people won't even acknowledge me and sometimes even downright despise me for being courteous, accommodating, and just generally very nice to them.

But then as soon as I start being a complete douchebag or just tell them to go fuck themselves and start being demanding as all hell, suddenly I'm considered a model citizen? God damn people confuse me sometimes. I guess the moral of the story is that if you wanna make friends or get any respect from people, you gotta treat em like shit? Fuck the human race, then! :D
