a person you work with and who could give you a lift to work or home as he/she drives there by car, but does not do it as he/she focuses so much on driving and the road that he/she does not see you standing on the sidewalk and waiting for a bus;
in fact he/she would not see you even if there was nothing around except for the bus stop and you;
sometimes it is done on purpose because the person simply does not give a damn about you standing there and waiting

Morgan: Hey man! What took you so long? The boss asked about you.
Jake: Damn buses and damn Jackson!
Morgan: What?
Jake: Yup, the bus broke down and the other one was to come in 20 minutes. I saw Jackson in his Taurus, I waved, but of course he pretended that he didn't see me. Sorry-ass passer-drive!

John: That's a nice essay.
Carl: Veni, vidi, wiki, bro!
John: Veni-what?
Carl: Veni, vidi, wiki. I came, I saw, I used Wikipedia! I just typed the topic and I got all the answers. No library, no sitting with books till midnight. I conquered!

2) I was about the leave the office when Mrs. Jenkins, my boss, caught me and asked me to do her a small favour. The favour was a report for the last 10 years. It was something she forgot to do and needed asap. I could not say no, of course, and had to sit there for 3 hours to finish it. I felt like a tomoron.

an obsessive desire to present even obvious things as mysterious ones and thus making them unclear and hard to understand just to gain attention of the listeners (from mystification + fixation)
I asked Jeremy about his plans for summer holidays, but I got lost after a couple of seconds he started talking, because he made it so confidential and difficult to understand. It's his mystifixation - a desire to make everything, even simple things, look and sound mysterious.
