He had to listen to a full hour of the trainee’s life story, punctuated by forced laughter and self-deprecating remarks. His stomach twisted into a knot. He didn't care about their summer vacation, or their hobbies, or anything about them.

He found himself clenching and unclenching his jaw, a physical manifestation of his inner turmoil. The chatter seemed to grow louder, more invasive, as the trainee’s voice became an irritating drone. The mere sight of them was an insult.
