PANEL 2

Rachel walks through a crowd wearing a bluetooth headset, talking to herself while people around her look confused. She's wearing a shirt that says "Rich people piss me off."

NARRATOR: ...you wear a headset so others will think you're talking on your cellphone when you're really talking yourself.

RACHEL: "Yes..."

RACHEL: "It is only a matter of time before they all learn to fear my name."

PANEL 3

Rachel sits at a table with a man who has messy dark hair, smiling at him with calculated interest.

NARRATOR: ...you date someone just to pirate their music.

RACHEL: "Sooooo, what kind of music do you like?"

PANEL 4

Rachel sits on a bed with the same man, who looks hopeful. Her laptop sits between them. She's still wearing the "Rich people piss me off" shirt.

NARRATOR: ...you take someone back just to finish pirating their music.

MAN: "I'm sorry about what I said last night."

RACHEL: "I want to give it another try."

RACHEL: "Do you still have that Gogol Bordello album?"

My first boyfriend helped me round out my Nine Inch Nails Collection.

“Rich people piss me off,” is a distortion of Cartman’s phrase, “Poor people piss me off,” from an episode of South Park.

    I used to wear headphones and pretend I was listening to music, just so people would stop coming up and talking to me. O_o
