    it does. you have something to do and that is important. if someone has nothing to do the least they can do is acknowledge someone else has more to do and therefore that’s more important than the doing of nothing

      And my thing is the most important! That’s why i pass on the shoulder, cut in at the exit, and push into the elevator first.

          Everyone thinks they’re busier with more important things than everyone else. Wasn’t that the point of the post?

          They’re both silly, yours just seemed more so to me because you followed up on a silly generalization with another silly generalization.

    Only if it’s exaggerated for the sake of appearances. Some people might do that, either to make themselves look important or seek attention, but most of the time, people are in fact busy with some task, or are carrying something for a reason. And generally, that comes with some purpose that is important to them at the time.

    It’s a logical conclusion to draw, even if some people may hijack that reasoning to be deceitful.
