6. I worked for this pretentious boss who was always trying to upscale herself as a Princetonian.

She came from a modest background and always tried to impress on everyone that she was better than everyone else. She's the kind that when she shakes your hand, she quickly puts her arm and hand straight out and then bends her hand down 45 degrees, then she doesn't close her hand but leaves it stiff as a board.

This OP reminds me of just one of the ways she failed at this endeavor, and she proudly boasted about it.


She had a nice home, in an above average community, not a posh development, but an OK one.

Her one kid had a birthday party and there were about 15 kids and their parents invited to it. Well, she refused to let anyone into the house, even though she had a half-bath just off the slider door. Instead, she had them use a Porta Potty. Everyone at work looked at each other as she boasted how smart that was, as she didn't want the rug rats to track dirt into the house.
