[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Y’all just wanna form your social lives from your kids, your kids’ schools and the friends of your kids’ parents.

It’s not gonna work.  Life can be long, and the school years for your kids are fleeting.  You need to make your own friends and forge your own lives, and the way to do that is to stop obsessing over money, work and achievements and start living real lives instead of living through your kids.

Maybe the parents who ignore you at school functions are doing that.   To them, you’re no different than a stranger on the [b]metro.[/b] [/quote]

Your metro reference clues me in that you’re not successful.  You don’t understand the social rules of successful people, which are that you should not act standoffish, snobby or uninterested in someone. You never know who someone is or who someone knows. Turning up your nose at someone like OP describes could affect your own success which is why you don’t act like that. Act like that and you’ll find yourself riding the DC metro or your kids doing so.

So only unsuccessful people ride the metro?  Ok[/quote]

Said no one ever. Metro is for the people barely making it [/quote]

This is dumb. I ride the NYC subway all the time and see celebs on the train. [/quote]

Moron, the DC metro is not the NYC subway. [/quote]

So? They’re both public transportation. [b]Rich and famous people use public transportation.[/b] Hence, she is wrong. [/quote]

Not in dc.[/quote]

NP here. Haven’t read all the responses, but you know that people like the PP above are living in some ugly McMansion in suburbia and terrified of taking the Metro because they don’t know how to exist in a city. But instead of realizing this about themselves, they are trying to make the argument that only the poors take the Metro to make themselves feel better. People from all walks of life take the Metro. It’s often much more convenient than driving. Just because you’re too scared to use it doesn’t mean others are. [/quote]

What a crazy post. I don't ride the subway because I love to drive but I used to use metro all the time before I had a car. No rich and famous people ride metro. Why would they? Driving is much more convenient. This isn't NY.[/quote]
