Cupcakes vs. Six Figures

Yes, I read Missed Connections on Craigslist.

...don't judge. I think it's funny. Kind of a study on how people perceive themselves and others. It's really entertaining.

For example, take this post that was made recently:

Thought you looked like a nice guy so I bought you a drink but you sent it back to the bar...

Get off your high horse...you work at a cupcake store.

I make 6 figs.
...Really? Really?!

The person for whom the drink was bought responded further on down the thread:

Actually I did say thank you...

and I only had a sip of the drink before leaving it because as much as I wanted to be polite and grateful(being that I don't make 6 figs and can't afford my own drinks) I just don't like Dirty Martinis...

and I left with only a nod and smile because I wasn't interested.

Last time I wear my work shirt out.
I'm left with two thoughts after reading all of this drama:
  1. Having lots of money does not afford you any amount of natural class.
  2. There's a cupcake shop?! Where???
