LISTEN TO ME!

I just recently started a new job and officially work with the weirdest guy ever.  Unfortunately he is the guy training me to do my job.  The other day I was discussing a problem that I was having and he started "practicing his golf swing".  He really got into it.  He methodically set his hands around the phantom club, bent his knees and wiggled his hips.  I kind of got the impression that I was not getting his full attention.  Although he was answering my questions, I could not get past the rudeness of the situation.

After a moment of his Tiger Woods emulation, I opted to practice my "batting".  I picked the imaginary bat that was right for me.  I set it properly in my hands when I remembered my old coaches advice about "choking up".  I assumed my correct right handers stance and swung away.

My fellow workers began to snicker at he and I having a conversation while practicing our respective sports.  After about 2 minutes, he looked up and asked what the hell I was doing.  He could not comprehend that I was just using our time to practice as well.

After we finished, he walked away.  My supervisor approached me with a grin on his face and said our office Fred Couples has never played golf a day in his life.  Are you kidding me?  What kind of f-ing weirdo does that?  It takes all kinds I guess, but I think Ferris Bueller said it best with, "it's understanding that helps people like me tolerate people like yourself".
