Carrying a lot of stuff and being super busy does not make you more important than others.

Could you provide some examples of people making the opposite claim?

I do, if i carry 20 folders and you don't go out of the way i will ram you because i don't see you and they are heavy.

If mere 20 folders are enough to block your vision, then go ahead, try to ram me, little one. I may even react to it, if I won't be drowning in my heavy, deep thoughts, regarding SIRIUS business & shit... đŸ˜Ŧ

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.

what the fuck are you talking about lmfao

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

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.

Pfft! Spoken like someone who isn't super busy OR caring a lot of stuff.
