The usual complaint is, 'I have no other way of earning a living.' The harsh reply can be, 'Do you have to live?' ↗

Anyone who thinks they're important is usually just a pompous moron who can't deal with his or her own pathetic insignificance and the fact that what they do is meaningless and inconsequential. ↗
