The G-man effect is when some nobody gets a big head because some loser thinks they're important.
My boss gave me a raise because he thought I was a rockstar. I'm not. I'm just tired.
My cousin got promoted because the manager thought he was a genius. He just knows how to flatter.
My dog got a trophy because the kid at the park said he was a hero. He just barked at a squirrel.
