  • Random Kid

    The kid riding a scooter through the grocery store like it’s NASCAR.

  • Coworker

    The coworker who whispers gossip so softly it feels like a side quest.

    My friend who drinks beer like it’s a competition. Sometimes, it is.

  • Aunt

    The aunt who organizes their entire life with sticky notes in random places.

  • Random Kid

    The kid who told his mom I looked like a “tired superhero.” Accurate.

  • Friend

    The friend who refers to naps as “emergency shutdowns.”

    The woman at the gym who compliments everyone’s outfits. Hero behavior.

    The barista who uses latte art to judge people’s personalities.

    The friend who screams during video games like she’s being personally attacked.
