Fans love Ron Swanson immediately showing a guest out of a building rather than give a tour

A "Parks and Recreation" fan on Reddit took to r/PandR to show off a classic Ron Swanson moment: when Leslie asks the Parks Department head to show a guest around, he immediately directs the woman out of the building and away from the parks department office. The man really does not like unnecessary conversations with people.

In the comments of the post, Redditor u/Shagalicious said of the moment, "This is peak Ron." The scene comes from the Season 2 episode "The Possum," and occurs when Mayor Gunderson's representative, Evelyn (Judith Moreland), visits the office to ask for help catching the infamous golf course possum Fairway Frank. Of course, Ron's first thought is to get the visitor out of the Parks office as quickly as possible. In classic "Parks and Recreation" style, Leslie is given the opportunity to form a task force to catch the meddling marsupial, while Ron's motivations rest entirely with getting everyone involved to leave him alone. "The Possum" is the 18th episode of "Parks and Recreation" Season 2 and aside from the episode's fantastic Ron moment, Entertainment Weekly praised April (Aubrey Plaza) and Andy's (Chris Pratt) subplot and called the episode one of the series' best ever at the time Season 2 aired.

Another Redditor, u/fluffeebear, points out within the comments that this Ron Swanson one-liner is up there with his proclamation that he can't visit the DMV on behalf of the Parks Department simply because "I don't want to."
