Tall poppy syndrome.
I haven't talked about it before on here but decided I would.
One of the most annoying things about certain segments of Australian culture is tall poppy syndrome.
I have only seen it done by those on public assistance and not by any working people I know.
It is one of the meanest nastiest traits.
What it is is when someone perceives someone else to have something more or who is doing something more than they are so they take it upon themselves to bluntly and loudly insult them to knock them down a peg.
I witnessed a rather nasty case of it yesterday. This woman who is gaining some fame in the transgender world mentioned she was enjoying a 3 d movie so this other woman proceeds to tell her she wasn't all that and who did she think she was a celebrity now? She just kept insulting her. It was really disgusting.
So what it boils down to is this nobody on welfare is jealous because her friend is becoming popular and makes decent money to have a 3d tv so she has to take it out on her.
