It seems like a good portion of society now falls into the 'unsuccessful' group, sometimes displaying all three of your unsuccessful points in the same breath.

"That damned Susie thinks she's sooo smart, I hope she falls flat on her face in front of the boss and if she does, I'm gonna laugh right in her stupid face...if that happens, he'll give the job to me since I'm next in line, don't matter that I've never done it before, I'm a whiz at stuff like that."

I've worked with so many people like that. I'd like to say that it's mostly the younger folk, but nope...all ages, all spoiled, all toxic.
