Snobby Show Choir People

Everybody gather around, it's time for a story.

This weekend I attended a show choir competition at Urbandale. After watching our prep group, Protégé, perform extremely well, I was walking with a friend back to our room to take curlers out. We were walking along, minding our own business, when a guy, who was walking next to us, decided to strike up a conversation with us. This is how it went.

Guy: hey, where are you guys from?
Us: Happiness. Same school as Protégé, the school that just went
Guy: Ohhhh really. I’m from Linn-Mar In-Step (Linn-Mar’s prep group)
Us: Oh cool. Well good luck today!
Guy: Thanks but we already performed (said in an extremely snotty way)
Us: Aw really? We missed it. We’ve been meaning to see you too. Did it go well? We hope it did.
Guy: Oh yeah. It we did soooooo well! I think we have a pretty good shot at getting first this time. (Said with nose stuck up in the air)
Us: Well good job! We wish you the best of luck tonight at awards (flashes hugnormously fake smile)
Guy: Yeah thanks, but we don’t need it (walks away)

We stood there for about 30 seconds a little dumfounded at what just happened. We had always been told to be good people first so by hearing this extremely arrogant underclassman, it was hard not to tell him something like, “Who the hell do you think you are? You don’t go around saying things like that to people! That is extremely rude, arrogant, and unnecessary. You’re giving your show choir and extremely bad name by saying all of that to us. Especially since we aren’t even competing against you.” It would’ve been so easy to tell him off, but we had to stay cool and wish him the best of luck because we have always had people with extremely good sportsmanship. So instead, we went back to our homeroom where we proceeded to tell everyone we could about what just happened and gossip about how extremely dumb and arrogant all the Linn-Mar members think they are. That’s how it’s done. It got even better when In-Step got third place and Protégé got first.
