Folding, spindeling, and mutilating lauguage for fun since Aug, 2004

So, say you're a sanctimonious, self-important little jerk who is a member of a homeowner's association of a high-priced suburb of a Midwestern city.  Say your homeowner's association decides to rent space for their annual meeting in a Community Center.  Say the staff of said Community Center warns you that the night you want, the room is also rented by a Martial Arts Class for Special Needs kids.  This class will be operating behind a flimsey temporary partition for the first fifteen minutes of your meeting, at which point it will ajourn.

So you say "OK" and you show up for your meeting, and said Special Needs Martial Arts class is in full swing next door.

Do you:

a)  Begin your meeting and announce that it to be over in fifteen minutes, you were warned.

b)  Delay the beginning of your meeting for fifteen minutes.

c) Go and tell the happy active Special Needs students (whose group ALSO PAID FOR THE FREAKING SPACE) to "keep it down", even though all they were doing was holding their regular martial arts class that they attend every week?

d) go and tell the happy active special needs students (whose group ALSO PAID FOR THE FREAKING SPACE) to "keep it down" while exuding an air of aggrieved victimisation.

Of course, you do "d", because you are a sanctimonious, self-important little jerk, whose first fifteen minutes of meeting is much more important than the happiness of a bunch of disabled children.
