Hilary Clinton.

Seriously, we have a Secretary of State who the world knows publicly lied about being fired upon in Kosovo. She can't even lie credibly.

School Crossing Guards.
Mall Security.
Parking Attendants.
Police Officers. - the obvious can't believe it took so long to get posted
Librarians.
Fast Food Managers.
Concert Security - one of the worst along with Sports Security. The game or the concert is more than 1/2 hour long and those sweet seats haven't had an ass in them it's obvious they're not going to get any patrons yet you can't sit there???

I strongly dislike people who egocentrically delude themselves into thinking they're an authority on things, especially muso-elitist pseuds.

You have answered your own question here. A mechanic is an authority on fixing engines, and so people who don't know how to do so are at the mercy of the mechanic. There are good people who use their mechanical skill in a way that doesn't take advantage of those without it, but there are at least as many who see their "authority" as a ticket to getting paid excessive fees by those who are vulnerable to them. Ask most people to describe a "typical mechanic" and they will describe the latter.

I probably dislike Blair and Brown (almost) as much as you do. Neither of them have made my skin crawl quite as much as Cameron seems to, though.

yeah but that's not "authority" as the question defined it. here you mean it as expertise; there, it's synonymous with power: "people in power". a mechanic may be an expert on engines, but it doesn't have power over them-- "hey you, i command you to run"-- let's not stretch metaphors.

"authority" in the context of the question however has the connotation that the power is legitimate-- which is another story.

well, sure, rationally, i agree with this, but instinctually, lemme just say, from the bottom of my heart, FUCK THE BOSSES.

such attitude has made me highly unemployable over the years. oh yeah.
