Misanthropic

The long-time girlfriend of a friend of mine considers herself to be fairly misanthropic. She pretty much considers people in general to be complete idiots. She rails at the idiocy of people when affected by events such as traffic on the non-accident side of the highway being slowed down by people wanting to take a gander at the accident.

My friend and I consider ourselves to have achieved a level of misanthropy beyond that. We realize that people are stupid in the aggregate and are well aware that such things are going to befall us. When they happen, we don't rail against them. There's no more point in getting angry at the stupidity of other people as there is in cursing the rain.
