"The world wants you to be normal. F*ck being normal. That’s when being extraordinary becomes impossible."

#3I'd expect that somebody who believes "The world wants you to be normal. F*ck being normal. That’s when being extraordinary becomes impossible." would probably treat service workers poorly (they're normal, F*ck them) but instead there is the advice "Watch how people treat service workers. It tells you a lot about their character."
Non sequitur.
