Comment on Cheat Codes for Life I Know at 36 That I Wish I Knew at 26parent

Why does being extraordinary require being a jackass to people who are often merely a front? (Is the service worker in control of the discount rates, for example?)

See (1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissism ("I'm special") and (2) vulgarity as a tracer for a lack of conscientiousness. ("The F*ck" bit)

That is, I'd expect people who use vulgar words gratuitously to be rude in general.

One interpretation is that this person is narcissistic but they are also Machiavellian and knows they'll be judged for how they treat service workers.
