Seriously.
Anyone who makes reference to loss of personal property (and not even real loss, mind you) even as an
afterthought when something of this magnitude is happening makes that individual sound like a giant, self-absorbed douche.
Now if someone makes it the main topic of discussion (i.e., the thread topic) -- that makes the person sound like a
dangerously self-absorbed douche -- as in, this person probably makes a habit of neglecting the needs of others around him on a regular basis.
Sure hope I'm wrong on that. Maybe it was a moment of self-indulgence. Maybe it was totally out of character... maybe.
Or ... maybe it's Generation Y doing their thing
Dunno. Beats me.
I'll leave the horse's corpse alone now...
