Concertmaster

In our shitty freshman orchestra, I'm the concertmaster. Concertmaster is basically top violinist, and the conductor's second-in-command. But for some reason, NOBODY LISTENS TO ME.

It's annoying because I'll be like "Oy, you're rushing. Watch the tempo, k?" And the other violinists will usually get pissed like "shut up, I know best."

I was concertmaster for a REASON, you ungrateful motherfucker. I could care LESS about how cocky you are. (You being a general term for the ENTIRE SECTION) If it were me, I'd just silently cringe but not care. But of course, as concertmaster, it's apparently my responsibility to fix the section. Well, how the hell am I supposd to do that if you don't listen to me?

I hate how I'll be trying to be helpful, while people all just brush me off, because hey, "first chair is obviously not as good as I, the great and mighty 15th chair" who can't play a 1 octave scale in tune! Kill me, I dunno. Just make these brats actually take my advice for once.

Apparently I'm wasn't authoritative enough. So I tried being slightly louder when giving corrections. And you uknow what? "You're too mean and condescending, so I won't listen to you!"

WHAT
YOU
YOU JUST ASKED ME TO BE MORE AUTHORITATIVE BY A LOT, AND NOW YOU DON'T? THAT IS SOME SERIOUS BIPOLAR THERE, KID.

NOW STFU AND FIX YOUR ATROCIOUS INTONATION BEFORE I SHOVE A TUNER UP YOUR UNGRATEFUL AND COCKY ASS.

Fyi, every word in the speech bubbles was said to me in real life.
