Depends on the state of my ego, but at least half of my coworkers/classmates most of the time. Also, the guys having an in-depth conversation about personal fitness/"bulking up" on my left.
Yeah, I'd say 87% of the time I'm better than most--So good, in fact, that I feel superior to people who walk around thinking they're superior to other people--because I know it's wrong to think like that.
I'm often impressed by all the smart and funny and wonderful things my friends do and say, but that only reinforces my positive opinion of myself because I have, after all, chosen these people to be my friends--which means I have better taste in people than most people.
Every now and then, (maybe once or twice a year) I'm genuinely humbled by someone I previously thought was a big dummie. And humble people are the best.
The metric I use to determine the relative worth of me to other people is the ability to program in NTL. NTL is a proprietary programming language from a now-defunct company I used to work for.
With this in mind, I am better than all but one or two people.
Phoebe states nicely how I generally feel about myself in relation to others. This, of course, is not necessarily reality.
Reality-wise, I'll borrow from Phil: I know the one type of person I'm definitely better than is the bully. But I'm talking "bully" in a really liberal sense of the word: anyone who uses intimidation or force to get their way (especially if their way is the wrong way). This would make me better than rapists, child/spouse abusers, many (but not all) jocks, oppressive dictators, etc. Also, I'm pretty sure I'm better than robber-barons and fat-cats (who would usually fit in the "bully" category anyway).
really this question is a shit starter.. sure, better than crack heads, bullies, bad drivers, the ignorent, republicans, potter valley, bible belt, elliot, tony marsh, mice, slugs, confused teens
Ive been thinking about my comment and i dont like saying i better than anyone. even if it was just an attempt at being funny. it starts bad ju-ju. i dont think im better than any of my friends. i should not make joke on such a Serious Question.
Here you will find a new question to answer every weekday. This is not a secret so tell others about it, eventually we will sell ads and use the money to buy ice cream sandwiches for everyone and when we say "everyone" we mean it literally.

Most people. I'd say about 85% of them. And that includes you.
rapists, abusive parents, bullies, Yankees fans and illiterates who are illiterate by choice.
