[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 insane and betrays your cluelessness.

I’m the poster who first mentioned the metro.   I actually never use it.  But this week I’m helping out one of my kids with the grandkids (I retired early after making a boat load of money), and I’ve been taking the metro because her house isn’t that close to it and this way I can get a good walk in.  I need my daily exercise!

I was surprised to discover that it costs 10 dollar a day round trip and while riding it I actually thought “this is a lot of money for a lot of daily commuters and must be tough for them . . . metro should be free.”

We get it. You live metro. Most people don’t. Enjoy your public transportation[/quote]
This is so stupid. Do you live in rural Alabama? Plenty of affluent  people in the DMV pay more to live near public transportation and take Metro.[/quote]
