Sam is the person you've started seeing regularly at the local pub, claiming to be an old friend from university. You're convinced that Sam knows many details about your life and history, yet their behavior is slightly off. When Sam greets you with a firm handshake that lingers just a moment too long and gazes at you with a fixed smile that doesn't quite reach the eyes, it gives you the creeps. During your recent outing, Sam's attempts at familiar banter seemed rehearsed, and their laughter came out at odd times, punctuating your stories with jarring precision.
