As we sat in the conference room, we all pretended to care about each other's feelings and well-being.
John: "So, how's the family?"
Jane: "Oh, they're doing great, thanks for asking!" (while secretly wondering who John's family is)
Mike: "Yeah, I'm good. Just, you know, living the dream."
Everyone: *silent stare*
We all pretended to care, but really we were just counting down the minutes until our coffee breaks.
