Working in the financial industry, I sometimes have to contact clients who don't have cash in their accounts to cover the checks they write. In one such instance, I called this lovely lovely client to ask how he wanted to cover the check he had written for a couple hundred bucks, and he tells me, completely unprompted, "For your information, I made more money this year than you'll probably make in your lifetime."
Without pause I responded, "Good for you sir. So you want me to go ahead and bounce this check then?"
I was floored. (All I could think of was "good for you?" I, sir, am an asshat.)
