Will: The police at Georgia State are overrated. I got locked out of my car. They offer to help you, but they can’t even get in my car with what they had. All they were interested in was giving me a ticket and testing me for DUI. I wasn’t even drinking. They’ve really been rude every time I have an encounter with them. They’re just interested in ticketing as often as possible. Most underrated are restaurant servers. You get treated like shit and you work your ass off.

Phil: Environmentalists. They’re trying to save the environment and want a Prius in every garage in the city. Global warming is here. Acid rain is here. If you haven’t done anything by now, it’s too late. Teachers are the most underrated people in the history of the world, and a lot of times they end up serving as surrogate parents. They’re actually saving a human life. An environmentalist, they’re trying to save an ice cube. It’s not going to happen.

Ben: Overrated are out-of-town Coca-Cola executives. They come into restaurants like they expect everything for free or we should kiss their ass. Underrated are scooter mechanics. People come, don’t do any maintenance or preventative work. Then they get pissed off when they have a $600 or $700 bill because they didn’t take care of it in the first place. I’ve been physically assaulted, screamed at and threatened with weapons on a weekly basis.
