George's work advice rings true for fans in real life
On the "Seinfeld" subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/seinfeld/comments/u35tf6/name_something_seinfeld_taught_you/), a user asked others to name something the series had taught them. The most upvoted response? "When you look annoyed all the time, people think you're busy," as written by u/MadeInAmerican (https://www.reddit.com/r/seinfeld/comments/u35tf6/comment/i4ncle6/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3). Their comment, which is derived from Season 7 of the sitcom, currently has over 900 upvotes.
The remark comes in Episode 5, "The Hot Tub," when Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld) and Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) (https://www.looper.com/848356/the-only-three-seinfeld-episodes-that-dont-feature-elaine/) ask George (Jason Alexander) about his promotion at the New York Yankees that is supposedly keeping him busy for long hours. George reveals that very little has changed about his work ethic — he simply pretends to be busy by looking annoyed. When he demonstrates the skill, shaking his head in dismay, Elaine emphatically agrees.
In the comments section for the clip which was shared on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOQmxNPTJwc&ab_channel=MicanVujnovic), many of the show's fans have expressed that the deceptive tactic works. "I've totally done this... if I had any down time at all I just looked as annoyed as possible. Nobody asked me to do anything more," wrote one user.
