What do I do, as Intellectual Pride? You might ask.
I protect my host from stupid questions and long meaningless conversations. Basically, when my host talks to someone, I would quickly tell him if the person is being stupid or is he just longwinded. Some times I subtley tell him that he is bored with the situation. I know that my message has got acrossed when he responds with many “I know”s, or he would look around and begin to drift in the conversation.
Sometimes, I manage to get him irritated with the other person. He might snap at the other person, but then, I know my host, he will apologize for his ‘mistake’, but actually, there is really no need to. The other person has been rattling on for such a long time. And what is worse, many times people are telling my host the same things that he already knows.
Isn’t that just irritating?
