A great humblebrag
Sunday, June 26, 2011
There are a lot of internet meme-y things I don't care for (looking at you, LOLCats), but one that I enjoy is the humblebrag.
I came across a great one today. The author is talking about backseat drivers or something - honestly, I didn't even really read most of the post - but the line that caught my eye was this one:
Since retiring from his seven-digit a year corporate executive position, his main gripes were about people not appreciating the value of his time or insight.Holy mother.
I love how she just sort of drops it in there that her father was making seven figures (that's a million, for those of you bad at math), because, you know, that's totally relevant to the story. Who cares? Is the fact that he made a lot of money somehow relevant to the gripe about people not appreciating his time or insight? Newsflash, bigwig (and bigwig's daughter): that's a not a problem that's exclusive to millionaires or executives. I'm pretty sure most people want others to value their time and insight.
