If anything, stewing about being disrespected seems to be a favorite pastime of people who couldn’t answer(and don’t seem overly inclined to ask themselves) the question of “what, pray tell, about you deserves respect?”
I’m unclear on whether this is because they know this to be true and seek the balm of external validation, whether they don’t understand the distinction between ‘civility’ and ‘respect’ and demand the latter in response to deficiencies I’m the former; or if they are just the sort of uninspiring specimens that don’t get much respect; but it seems to be a pattern.
