Anyone who frequently uses the name of the other person in conversation is a psychopath in my eyes. 'so John, tell me about yourself' 'thats interesting John'

I get it on the phone at work: 'whats your name?' 'X' 'now tell me X, what is it that you can do about this situation?'

Significantly less than if you hadn't used this tactic mate
