Working at Cambridge U., I met many folks who fit into this bracket. This, of course, is not to say that all middle class folks are like this. Not at all. But you do have a fair number of pretenders to the throne, who would sure like you to lick their boots and acknowledge their superiority. Just my two-cents, of course. After all, Stu and I, by education and income, are in this middle class bracket as well.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17260511461647296081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16932113.post-76161212611578390192007-08-01T18:15:00.000-07:002007-08-01T18:15:00.000-07:00Do you encounter this attitude a lot or was it jus...Do you encounter this attitude a lot or was it just a bad experience?
