welcome to (my take on) reality

This is going to be all about something you already know. The thing is, you just may not have put your finger on exactly what to call it. This is where I come in. This blog will be documenting real-life cases of a thing that I affectionately call the False Sense of Entitlement. That lightbulb starting to come on above your sweet little head yet? If not, here are some examples of this phenomenon..

* Man orders coffee at local shop betweed tidbits of the conversation that he is having... on his cell phone.

* Woman allows her two small children to roam freely around the coffee shop/doctor's office lobby/grocery store without an ounce of thought about it.

* Driver behing you is close enough to see how many miles are on your odometer.. Then flips you off as they speed past you, barely missing your bumper.

These are just some prime little examples that I have made up, although they are loosely based on things that happen to us all everyday. The purpose of this blog will be to explore the psychology behind why some of us do the things that we do under the guise that we deserve to do so. It will also be a place for these experiences to be documented, shared, and gawked at by all.
Feel free to check back at your leisure, and also feel free to email me with all of those wonderful experiences that you encoutner!
