The SAF syndrome!

Ever wondered why some people always whine when things don't go their way? Why they think they are better than others? They blame their defeats on authority, the 'powers that be'.How they feel that they can never make any mistakes and should never lose!
Here is the answer.It was right before our eyes.But the author had to spend immense amount of time had to use all the cunning that he possessed to study and understand this unique (and not so rare) syndrome.
SAF syndrome derives its name from the famous ( or infamous) Sir Alex Ferguson.Its was primarily through observation of this man's peculiar behaviour that the SAF syndrome was discovered!
So what did the author observe? As many of the readers may be aware Sir Alex Ferguson is the manager of a team named Manchester United. When the team performed well,or to be specific when the team won the refereeing decisions were perfect,the conditions were perfect and the result was most deserved in human history no matter what! However when the team lost the referees were biased,all decisions that went against the team were wrong and no action of the person was to blamed for the defeat.They simply did not deserve to be defeated.They never should be defeated!
The symptoms of the SAF syndrome are as follows :
1) The person generally behaves as if he is the best and has absolute disregard for others.
2) Whatever others do he feels he can do it better.
3) He hates it when someone does something better than him.
4) When a result goes against him he will criticize the decisions that went against him.He will never speak against the wrong decisions in his favour.
5) He will expect the authorities to rule in his favour.He believes that everyone is working for his win!
6) These people are complete idiots.
The causes of the SAF syndrome are unknown.Perhaps some people are made that way.Genetics!( just like insanity plea is last defense against punishment, genetics is the answer when no cause is known)
The SAF syndrome has no known remedies. More than anything these people need our support.Generally whatever these people say or do should not be countered. Just give a approving nod and ignore the trash talk.It has also been observed that People with lower degree of SAF syndrome ( and more intelligence) support those with more developed SAF syndrome ( and hence lower intelligence) .
The author would like to thank Sir Alex Ferguson and all my friends who have SAF syndrome (somehow most of them support ManU) for their help in bringing to light the hitherto unknown SAF syndrome!
