Have you met Cyril? Not someone you’re likely to forget.
The constant chatter and natter. The interruptions of every conversation, jumping in and finishing it. He even gets it right. Sometimes.
If it were just the noise I’d probably cope. In short bursts. But it’s the jiggle, the foot tapping and hands twisting, the knuckle cracking, and the scritching and scratching. Why can’t he be still?
My advice to you, if you ever have the misfortune of opening the door to him, is quickly to shut it again.
Failing that, once he’s in, there’s no other recourse but swift defenestration.
