"You know, it would really be better if you loaded the copier this way instead of the way you're doing it. I'm just going to show you."
...And then we went to this fabulous restaurant, where the sommalier used to work at [other fabulous restaurant] with [name drop famous chef], and the sommalier was so happy to see us that he gave us $300 wine for $25. Yah, it was really cool. And then we went to this weird punk show where the band wore tin foil costumes and sang in Basque. They're incredible.
Disclaimer: I really like the person I've impersonated. I think this person is fabulous at their job and a lot of fun. I'm merely amused by the quirks.
I think Ann wins this one. (Or would, if it were a contest.) I wish I worked with this person. Sort of.
The woman I quoted in mine is also the kind to turn any conversation into something about her. Real-life example: the day before Yom Kippur, she said she hoped I'd have a good holiday. I told her the holiday was for fasting, and usually not "good" in the traditional sense. She said, "Oh, you fast? My husband had to fast the night before his colonoscopy."
On one hand, the second-holiest day of my people's year, a day of contemplation, sacrifice, and atonement. On the other, her husband's rectum. One must have to really, really need to steer a conversation to something of direct relevance to oneself to get from A to B on that one.
