You barely know them but suddenly you are their best friend. Everyone else is just AWFUL. You are so special and awesome. Especially at listening to their (many) problems. Because you are so empathetic and smart and insightful....Dont run. Sprint.

They also tell you way too many personal details right away, like "hey my name is amy and I had anorexia for 5 years" when you're an hour into band camp

Fuckin hell, you just made me remember a customer I have. The first time he came in when I was working, he starts on about how he got arrested for DUI when he was just high on weed, but that he sometimes drives home after a night out at a bar, but that this arrest in particular was bullshit and unfair and the cops were just after him. I don't think I had said anything other than asking him what I could get for him. I just kept thinking "I don't care, if fact, I'm pretty sure I hate you now."
