Curb Your Enthusiasm is a popular TV show starring Larry David, the creator of Seinfeld, with him getting into arguments with people. Larry David gets into fights and arguments constantly, because he isn't willing to conform, and is always ready to call people out for questionable or hypocritical behavior.
Daily life is a series of great injustices and hypocrisies minor and major, and everyone else is much too blind and brainwashed to notice otherwise.
I recently had my own Larry David moment.
A girl I knew is living in a home where her friend Maria used to live. Maria is from another country, let's say Mexico, but lives locally. The girl was collecting Maria's mail and bringing it to her.
I asked her why doesn't Maria just change her mailing address, and the girl says "ohh she's Mexican, she's just never gotten around to it." I said, you know, I don't think you're giving her enough credit - I'm pretty sure she's capable of changing her mailing address. "You don't understand. It just doesn't work like that in Mexico, things are different there." Neither Maria nor her mail are in Mexico - Maria has been living in the states for several years, and is a fully functioning human being.
I said, well if it were my house getting her mail, I'd warn her and then throw her mail out if she didn't do anything about it. This girl huffed, "well, not everyone is like you, Basil." Despite her being the one to make vaguely bigoted comments (Mexicans aren't capable of changing their mailing address), it's *me* who is the asshole.
Maybe she takes it as an attack on her friendship with Maria - I am trying to destroy her link to Maria by removing the need for her to bring Maria her mail.
Then I realized that I'm having encounters like these with American girls *every* *fucking* *day*. It's not even irritating any more, it's just a comical spectacle at this point, just as Larry David's show is. I have this out-of-body experience where I wonder, "is this seriously happening?" and laugh at the preposterousness of it all. I'm just like, what the fuck did I just hear? Does no one else notice? Does no one else call these chicks out for their silly ass bullshit? Am I the only one in the world left with a bullshit detector?
Curious to hear if others feel this way...
