Super Annoying Artsy People

So the other night my wife and I went out to Cheap Charlies after the the Icehawks game. And we sat next to the MOST ANNOYING PEOPLE EVER. It was really entertaining listening to their conversation. (The good gentleman "simply ADORES Tim Burton")

Now I know you have seen these d-bag artsy type people before. They're all over. This particular couple were SC4 theater/ballet students in probably their late 20's. Now there's nothing wrong with being 30 and going to SC4. That's pretty awesome actually, good for you. I went to SC4. It's a great school, but it's freakin COMMUNITY COLLEGE. They accept EVERYONE. These people where acting like it was the most prestigious university in the Ivy League.

Anyway, I won't go into detail about this particular conversation, but I will give some tips on discovering S.A.A.P.s (Super Annoying Artsy People). They are really really fun to listen to and make fun of. Try it, you'll laugh.

1. Clothing. Look for scarves. They love scarves, no matter the weather. Also kind of weird hats. Or pretty much anything from Hott Topic. (although not all Hott Topic apparel clothed people are SAAPs. They could just be emo kids or something. Nowhere near as entertaining.)

2. Hair. Guy SAAPs will usually have facial hair. It's always really neatly trimmed. Whether a goatee, moustache, or full beard, it is disturbing tidy.
The women SAAPs will 9 out of 10 times have short, kind of jaggedly cut hair. You know what I'm talking about. I actually like that style a lot, it just happens to be the haircut of choice for know it alls.

3. Conversation. The only TRUE way to tell a Super Annoying Artsy Person. The big give away: an incredible amount of self importance. They think they are the most intelligent, sophisticated, and knowledgeable people in the world. They are EXTREMELY amused with themselves, and tend to tell stories with an amazing amount of detail and side stories woven in, but in the end have ABSOLUTELY NO POINT. You'll be able to tell right away. They believe themselves to be the authority on pretty much EVERYTHING.

So yeah that's about it. Try and scope some out, and just sit and listen. You'll feel better about yourself.

And if you happen to be a SAAP, no offense, I'm sure you're a great person once we get to know you, but just listening to you, you are not actually awesome, you're a huge loser.
