You think you look cool, but...

You don't.

I am writing to introduce you to the Hand in Pocket (HiP) Doosh. You all know this guy. He is the one who does every presentation like he were on the set of MadMen. Calmly cool, but churning on the inside. Angry that your work is better than his, but acting like you are besties. Hand in one pocket for the whole presentation, doing God knows what, while he gesticulates wildly to make sure everyone is absolutely certain that he is in the room.

My particular HiP doosh wasn't happy being that guy. He had to add in the Wannabe Air Traffic Controller Doosh. In this scenario the HiPster takes his right hand out of his right pocket momentarily to make wild hand gestures to make a point. Knees bent, you expect him to pull out a pom pom next. It is especially fun to ask him a question and see if he can repeat the cheerleading moves in exact sequence a second time.

Warning: This doosh is not known to produce original work. He is known to stand at the front of the room and act like he contributed to yours. The good news is that this doosh is not really harmful and can be rather entertaining providing your tolerance for annoyance is quite high.
