<human>: This has been bothering my for a long time now. There is a lot of jaded things I see that happens in the workplace or the market place that is absurd. Let's take something a lot of people know that had happened. 

Mythbuster Adam was hit with a really large bill from AT&T that he didn't feel was just. So what happened? He tweeted about it and soon thereafter things got thrown into his favor and I'm more then positive they opened their ears and lowered the bill drastically. (Not saying he did or didn't deserve it. My point being is that a normal person would have to fight tooth and nail to get it reversed. Where as all he had to do was make a few calls and tweet or two about it).

Small example, but still it shows that if you're a powerful person and a lot of people know you, they'll rally behind you and support your cause. Also, I think this shows that if you're in a powerful position and know the right people, you can get just about anything done.

Let's look at something else. Say that a big shot Hollywood person (male or female, it probably doesn't matter) is looking to get a car for their child. They walk into a dealership (or have their assistant do it for them) and the word gets through the dealership they are dealing with this big shot. There is a greater chance they'll get a great sweetheart of a deal because their fame backs them up. Because, what'll happen if they don't get their way? CNN or some other news network picks up a story and it brings a ton of horrible press to the dealership.

Also recently, this happened with the Thinkgeek store and I called them out... [Thinkgeek twitter] 

Just because thinkgeek wanted MORE press about their oh so special Taun Taun sleeping bag, it's OK with everyone that they get to ship a assumed free one to the people of wired. 

Honestly, if you down vote this, that's fine. I just want to know that I'm not the only person pissed off at this type of setup...

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: crowd. People get special treatment because they are in higher/better places and have more connections. Pissed off about it.
