Despite David Pissner’s (19) recent graduation from an elite all-boys private school and current position as a high-paid printing executive at one of those wanky sounding law firms, David reckons that he just doesn’t really ‘fit in’ with all the other law students.
This defiance against the status-quo comes days after an objective fuckwit in his Crim A seminar, Ian McGriches, whose Facebook is littered with references to ‘Daddy Newman’ and ‘Sexy Tony,’ said a rather ‘hows-your-father’ comment about women.
This drew an uncomfortable, yet polite smile from David.
It was only after Ian popped off to the toilet and every single person at his table collectively started to say to each other ‘what the actual fuck’ that David clicked on to the fact that Ian might have been a bit off.
David even joined in the discussion with his own incisive jibe of ‘yeah, he was rather unpleasant.’
We salute your courage, Dave.
That night, David, after taking off his definitely-not-prescription Giorgio Armani glasses and placing them on his bedside table beside his high school tennis doubles trophies, begun a journey of self-reflection, thinking to himself, ‘Jeez, there aren’t many normal decent average normal good standard blokes like me doing law, I reckon.’
And as he fell asleep, firmly sandwiched between Country Road sheets and safe in the knowledge there would be a family dinner on the table for him every night, he reflected on his privilege for all of fourteen seconds, before dreaming of a first-year girl who smiled at him once in the Lawbry.
No more to come.
