Patrick Bateman: American Psycho. Bateman is obsessed with status. He is caught up in the minutae of his own personal brand. He is fundamentally shallow and finds it impossible to relate to people on an emotional level. He has a sick sense of humour too, which isn’t to everyone’s taste.
It’s going to be very difficult to form any trusting relationship with him as a co-worker, unless you can match up to his exacting personal grooming standards and he will be reluctant to perform any tasks that don’t enhance his image. Puncturing that self-image risks him flying into a rage, as all that pent up emotion escapes.
