How would one go about becoming a member of one of the CM cliques? Rumor has it someone is feeling left out.
Well, first let's take a gander at our dear friend, Merriam-Webster, and see what he has to say about cliques: a narrow exclusive circle or group of persons; especially : one held together by common interests, views, or purposes
Hmmm *looks around* I don't see it. Cliques are by definition, exclusionary. The masses around here tend to be inclusionary. What I do see is people who self-exclude. Those types of people tend to have poor social boundaries, such as the inability to see that they are annoying the crap out of people. Those same types of people can be seen in the 10-item express lane at the grocery with 30 items, or attending a party and griping that the host doesn't have their preferred beverage, or sitting in their car at the drive-up ATM and not preparing their deposit or whatever their transaction is while they are in line but waiting until they are in front of the machine.
I've been trying to figure out a way to identify them from afar, so I can take the long way around, and the only thing I think they have is common is that they wear strange shoes.
