For the most part my co-interns are friendly and there are many that will go out of their way to help you get your work done or make your life easier. There are of course many that slack off and their poor work ethic ends with you spending an extra couple of hours fixing things. Then there are these people:
Scene: waiting for lecture to start, sitting around conference table.
Co-intern: (pulls out nail clipper from white coat pocket and starts to use it on her NAILS.)
Me: GAHHH! OMG GROSS!
Co-intern: Says something pessimistic as per usual
Me: Um...
Resident: So are you guys all categorical, oh wait pessimistic intern, I think you're a prelim!
Me: Oh! So pessimisstic co-intern (mispronounces cointerns name because it is a confusing name that does not sound as it is spelled) What are you doing next year?
Co-intern: THATS NOT HOW YOU SAY MY NAME!!! Goes into super weird rage mode. I don't know yet. Mumbles more things under her breath.
Resident: So what do you want to do? Did you apply? Are you matching?...10 other questions...
Co-intern: I'd really rather not talk about, it makes me upset, this topic is not a good one, blah, blah. RAAAAAAAAAGE.
Me: Oh dear...nail clippers gross...wishes attending would come and pimp us on really difficult cardiac topics that are way over my head so we can stop having this awkward moment.

I need to stop clipping my toenails at M&M. I had no idea this was unacceptable.
