Yes, @tarazkp. I've had numerous examples of your recent misfortune. Some of it def has to do with narcicism, and variants on the ladder of social disorders, which the media and movies and once-sacred Western Institutions have all played some role in pushing out as positive traits into the public psyche.
It is interesting you say this - as when I was talking to a friend about the experience, I said "it was like she had watched too many New York dramas" :D
