      I get this a lot as a tall person:

      “You startled me!”

      “Yeah I tend to have that effect on people.”

        As someone with a broken anxiety response, you could be a gentle sloth and still startle me

        As a tall person, I quiet my footsteps when approaching someone because I get a kick out of startling people.

        My favorite is when I enter a room as someone who was in there alone is walking away from the door, so that by the time they reach the other side and turn around, I’m right behind them.

      Except most people aren’t self-aware enough to know they’re disturbing you.

    This perfectly illustrates why I get more done when working from home. People popping into my office exactly like that when they could have just sent me an email.

      Classic extrovert time wasting, I couldn’t imagine going back to that environment and being productive

      I couldn’t help loving Reno I won’t lie to your face, Stamets. Maybe you should reassess your character judgement.

    Doc’s answer didn’t even matter.
    “Doctor, may I disturb you for a moment?”
    “Not right now, please.”
    “Too late.”
    “…”

    Dude is like Patrick Bateman in every respect except that he uses his powers for good.
