How Republican men take their fitness steps:

I've seen this more than once, so it's a thing: A cigar in one hand, and the cellphone in the other when they are out walking and taking in their steps. And they think they're in the office, speaking so loud that I can hear their conversation while I'm working the yard. This one sticks in my mind,"Just another useless thing my wife thought I needed that she bought with my money."

LOL! You don't need to make up a caricature for them. They fill in their own backstories.

See them all the time. Why do they have to be so loud on their cellphones? It's like they think they sound cool or something and they want everyone to hear them.

"Split the stock. WHAT DOES IT MATTER WHO IT'S FOR!"

Learned from a young age to give people their privacy in conversations, but this one was steep in decibels. And all I could think of was, he has the power to split stocks? And the stock market wasn't doing well at the time.
