People arguing about politics with the very same level of puffy gravitas they would bring if the debate they were having was on the Senate floor or in the Supreme Court. "For the record" this, and "mark my words" that.
And then, at the very height of the all-important argument with the future of the free world in the balance, send a quick note—"hey, I just got a client call, gotta go"—and disappear, not to be heard from until the next time they're Facebooking while bored and lonely.
At least when my 11-year-old is screwing off and avoiding her chores while fantasizing that she's someone else, she calls it "playing."
