content: I'd much rather pull a Sam, but sometimes you need to support your family and keep your job. Stone cold apathy won't get you fired but it will send the right message. And mocking is really only effective it it's clear that you are having a good time. You can't get all pissy in mocking these people. When Sam says "what's up with your teeth" it's clear that he's having fun and doesn't give a shit about the pseudo empathy they demand of us.
