The Art of Pretentious Smirking
Smirking is the art of making others uncomfortable with your presence. In the cutthroat world of office politics, it's a delicate dance of subtle manipulation.
Techniques for the Modern Pretender
Here are some techniques to help you become the office smirker extraordinaire:
- 1. The Glare: Stare intensely at your coworkers while they're trying to work.
- 2. The Sigh of Disapproval: Let out a dramatic sigh whenever someone suggests a good idea.
- 3. The Eye Roll of Disdain: Raise an eyebrow in disgust whenever someone mentions a boring topic.
- 4. The Smirk of Superiority: Smirk knowingly while others are working on their "amateur" projects.
Advanced Smirking Techniques
For the advanced smirker, we have:
- 1. The Whisper-Snick: Whisper condescending comments while pretending to be helpful.
- 2. The Backhanded Compliment: Give backhanded compliments to make others feel inferior.
- 3. The Passive-Aggressive "Help": Offer "help" while secretly sabotaging the project.
Remember, Smirking is a delicate art...
(But we won't judge you, no matter how pretentious you get.)
