Because it’s arrogant and self aggrandising.

I was working full time with a brand new baby and a toddler and zero school or day care while this guy was playing with silly cnc toys and using a disease that isn’t really transmitted on surfaces to sell snake oil keychains, for comparison.

Agree with you.

It’s condescending and verging on martyrdom

Cool, maybe the comment wasn’t about you since you clearly had no free time.

It’s a comment about people literally doing something you didn’t do and you still got indignant. Chill the fuck out.

It has real "While you were partying, I studied the Blade..." meme energy to it.
I think poster is perceiving it as a dig — “I’m at work while the ops SLEEP”. I agree though, I think it’s just to dramatize the story, not meant as an insult.
It's either true and you don't need to write it or it's false and it's weird to write it.

Either way normal people don't react well when you remind them you're better than them for seemingly no reasons

But then again wantrepreneurs are statistically much more likely to be socio/psychopath which usually explain their complete lack of ability to read the room
