Yeah. It's all about class & habitus. People who grew up expecting the world to cater to them radiate that attitude in everything they do. People who grew up expecting little are a lot more deferential. Or, if they want to be pricks, they're pricks in a different way. Entitlement and resentment come off very differently.
