I enjoy mornings, so long as I'm not waking up to go to work.
I naturally wake up at 6 or 7am and get bored wishing there was some mindless task I could perform.

2

Do you own your own vehicle?

3

Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

I like being around people most of the time, but I do pretty regularly need some space and time to myself.

Pretty normal. But I have a lot of tattoos/piercings/coloured hair.
Neat and conservative. No tattoos.

Roll your eyes and say, "You wanna talk about theft! Let's talk about the thousands of dollars you've stolen from every employee who works here with your immoral minimum wage. This company has been stealing from its employees for years, so you are in no position to complain about theft."
Nod and agree. "I know. Isn't it terrible?"
Keep walking.

25
