John - The Man With No Shame
My best mate John is a law unto himself. Whereas usually he's a kind and considerate person, he seems to have the occasional mental explosion where he will do something so bizarre as to be completely inexplicable, to himself as well as everyone else. Its not that he's a bad person, he just sometimes seems able to hotwire his own brain and do something a little silly. This is one of those times.

Out and about in town he came out of a shop just as a frail old lady was shuffling past. As he stood there the old lady fell flat on her face, the contents of her grocery bag spilling all over the busy street. Did John stop and help the old dear up? Did John retrieve her strewn items? Did John look at this distressed geriatric pityingly? Did he at least cover his mouth as he laughed at the poor old bugger?

No. He walked over to her and said in a completely patronising voice "Dropped your bread have you?" before strolling off without a care in the world. Cut to five minutes later when the realisation of what he just did hits him and he begins gnawing his knuckles off in shame.
