    My old boss was an absolute nightmare.

    He used to be nicknamed "Mr Me". A guy that I worked with had been to Australia and I was having a chat with him about the trip, I then transferred the call to Mr Me and after 15 seconds he's opened his trap with "We were thinking of going over there", and then blah blah blah for the next 15 minutes of his holiday in bloody wherever.

    The Opera House or the MCG did not get mentioned.

    Another tell tale sign of a narcissist is someone who changes their favourite colour very late in life , and then fakes passion for the new colour.

    For example, an old woman who loved blue all her life, they switched to red. That’s a sign of narcissism.

    My boss could, and was very pleasant in the work place.

    I saw the real side of him when he offered to give me a lift back home one day, from grinning like a cheshire cat throughout the day once out of the door he was the sour puss.

    I was needed by him for nine hours to line his pockets but after that he was on the same level as me(not height wise you understand).

    A charmer he would have been classed. He was not too charming as a lot of people would not deal with us as they saw through him.

    I once knew an old woman who’s only hobby in life was taking her dog for a walk. She had to tell everyone about it ...why she bought the dog, who the dogs grandparents were, even where the dogs family were from (it was Bermondsey, oddly enough). Eventually she was so obsessed she wrote a blog and a book about the dog.

    My first job after leaving school was working in a bank.

    An old woman in a red scarf with white hair used to come in every day, and frighten the bank staff by saying our bank was going to merge with an Australian bank.

    If ever we tried to disagree with the old woman, she would scream “delete my account”

    In the end the regular staff got so fed up with these fake threats from the old woman with the red scarf and white hair, that we all went to see the bank manager Mr Daniel.

    We asked him to call the old woman’s bluff and to delete her account. Sadly Mr Daniel was a bit of a cowardly custard, and he bottled it.

    I am too busy looking at a reflection of myself in a mirror to take part in this thread.

    I was told that Brendan Rodgers' house was adorned with a very large photo of...........................himself. Explains why Kenny Dalglish greeted the arrival of Klopp at Anfield by remarking that he "isnae in love wi' hissel'"

    I remember the programme - Being Liverpool.
    The cameras were allowed into Rodgers house, and there was a sizeable portrait of him in the lounge <laugh> Pure David Brent.

    I think it sowed the seed of an idea in others.
