People Hack

The new secretary arrived. Making an extraordinary amount of noise and speaking at a rate of 500 words a second, she informed us at great length that she is a quiet, unsociable individual who doesn’t like to speak much.

One of the best sociability hacks I have encountered in life is that whenever somebody says, “I’m the kind of person who”, the reality is that they are the exact opposite kind of person. The smartest people in the world understand everything except themselves.

    I suppose you’ve just come across a highly strung Gemini, or a Sagittarius, possibly, I would even venture an Aries, depending on the tone of their delivery.

      I’m an Aries. And I’m the kind of person who is extremely quiet, inoffensive, and sweet.

      It’s a joke. I’m joking.
