This is kind of my "go-to" attitude, unless I have an inkling to stop myself and make an effort to practice more patience, humility, or something else that is required to mitigate my arrogance. This is a situational thing. Many times, I experience a scale of "diminishing returns" when dealing with people. This discourages me from making great efforts, if I expect them to be wasted.

I agree, the more years I spend here, the less I care about what people think or whether or not they are offended.
