This was actually the quote that inspired this thread. I love George Carlin but I hear this all the time online and I hate it

The people saying it aren't usually in the half they think they are, either.

95% of people think they belong to the top 5%.

Yeah but I actually am, right guys? ...guys?

Of course you are, buddy! Now go play with your crayons while the grown ups talk.

And I would think that a good 95% of that 5%, who don't think they belong in the top half, actually do belong in the top tiers.
