a FINE line

... A VERY FINE LINE, between being a smart ass AND a smart person.

SMART PEOPLE are amusing to listen to, they sometimes bore you with facts or they awe you with how much knowledge they have, plus whatever comes out of their mouth is useful. Their purpose is to merely inform and share.

SMART ASSES on the other hand, say things that are unnecessary, makes you feel like shit and their words hurt you and offend you. They take out the fun in things, because they are just SOOOO smart. (Queue eye roll please!) *rolls eyes* Their purpose is to make you feel stupid and belittled.

Still not enough to comprehend? Okay, let's paint a picture and take a few scenarios I've come across in my life to settle out the differences between the two.

Picture a group of people randomly saying things~ and then a conversation about impregnating different animals to get them to give birth to hybrids (I don't know if you'll talk about this hahaha it was at the top of my head). So you see, everyone's having a big a laugh about all the bizarre things people say, it's just for fun, doesn't have to make sense. THEN comes a smart ass

"You know, technically, you can't do that, that's just stupid~ think about it. You can't make the bird do it with a snake. (NO DUH!) and besides, you guys said give birth. they both only lay eggs. (like OMG seriously? SERIOUSLY? You're getting way too technical here! Spare us the stupid details)"

SEE WHAT I MEAN? Smart asses does something like that ALL the time. Though this not might be the greatest of examples but the minute the smart ass ends that statement, everyone else's mood is ruined or they turn quiet, because s/he has taken the fun out of it.

AND speaking of SMART ASSES. I hate hate hate it when people insist on something that you've already said no to. You think you're so smart like that? Huh? Another scenario.

Person A:
I don't like putting in tomato sauce in my sandwich.

Person B:
Yeah me neither, I don't like it.

Person "Smart Ass":
Really? You don't like it? But there's tomato in that sandwich you're eating right now.

Person B:
She said tomato sauce, I'm okay with tomatoes.

Smart Ass:
Isn't that the same thing though? It's still tomato, they taste the same.

Person B:
No they're not, that has some sort of paste, I know what I like and don't like okay?

Smart Ass:
Well technically, they're both tomatoes, funny that you like that but not *mumble mumble*

Person A:
*looks from Smart Ass to B quietly*

WELL, there you have it. Isn't that ANNOYING? Why must that smart ass be like that? What's the point? Take people's word as it is when they say tomato sauce and tomato is different. Like why in the world do you HAVE to continue with it and prove to everyone that you're so smart? You argue with me one time to many if what you're correcting is something that involves me and it's about me okay?

*stabs all the smart asses in their ass* =___=);
