"Do You Know What School I Went To??"

It is a waste of time and energy to recount what happened last night to lead some strange woman to shout at my friends "do you know what school I went to?" after she had already called me stupid. It is interesting to think about why someone would say something like this:

1. Because (s)he is immature -- maybe at age 22, this is still a factor in someone's life
2. Because (s)he is losing an argument -- not sure where this would ever work, but maybe it has before
3. Because (s)he went to some place other than Harvard (I'm relatively certain that most people who went to Harvard don't run around shouting it to win arguments, based on the people I do know who went there) and (s)he has some sort of complex
4. Because (s)he is an idiot and thinks this proves (s)he is not

I have to say, now in my early 30's, this declaration/question/statement didn't have much of a positive effect on what I thought of her. In fact, after the drama was over and my friend and I were in a cab on the way home, we laughed and mocked this girl over and over for saying such an inane thing because she didn't get her way. I'm hoping she is young and will learn to not say this again, but...not holding my breath.
