I used to work summers at a company we’ll call the Jones Corporation started by my father. My siblings and I used to come home and tell stories about the customers who would come in and, not knowing who we were, try to pull their weight by claiming they’d had dinner the night before with the founder (no, unless I didn’t notice you eating meatloaf at my kitchen table) or that they were close personal friends with Mr. Jones (who didn’t exist-that wasn’t our last name). We were unfailingly polite to the customers, but it sure did help to be able to let off some steam after being ranted at by rude or irrational people.
