[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve noticed more and more parents at my kids events who spend the whole time just sitting in their vehicles in the parking lot.  Some of them never even get out of the vehicle at all, then just drive off.

What is wrong with these parents? [/quote]

Antisocial misanthropes, most likely.[/quote]

We’re just adept enough to avoid subjecting ourselves to the unwanted company of strivers who insert words like “misanthropes” into their everyday conversation. [/quote]

I stay i the parking lot because I’m massively busy with work and being the admin assistant of my kids’ lives, but also because sometimes when I join the parents, I get an icky sense that they are like this parent, who uses the term  ‘striver’ but despises the term ‘misanthrope’ (TF is wrong with you?), or that they are like that other poster, the one who finds small talk with me to be pretend and drudgery. Those posters say they stay in the car but I see them in the bleachers too. [/quote]

Translated:  “I’m upset you won’t spend time with me, so sour grapes!” [/quote] How self-centered and narcissistic to read that into it.[/quote]
