I understand what you mean Jet, I don't really find it insulting either (granted insults in general don't really bother me).
The whole "I'm amazing and better than you" thing I do towards those two is actually kind of a joke. Apparently one day out of earshot they mentioned that they think I'm pompous, and I was informed of it. So now pretty much anytime I'm even marginally better it reverts to the "Because I'm better than you obviously" for personal shits and giggles (the back row finds it funny as well though) because it gets under one guy's skin so much.
I don't deny that I can be pompous and a bit abrasive at times, but I do know my place. I never assume I'm the best at anything and I try to strive to be better at anything I do. It usually comes out of me when people are obviously not trying as hard as they should/can and then proceed to *** about their grade or something.
Edit for example:
Like we had a cardiology test that got turned to a quiz grade because half the class sucked it up. I was slightly annoyed that I studied my *** balls off to make a 96, and I was rather verbal about lack of sympathy for people who fail so bad it would boot them out of the class.
I work full time, I have a wife, bills, all the same ***they do and I can still make time to study. Not my fault they can't make the time to do the work for school.
