In terms of personal, i'd have to say my aunt. We'll call her P.
For as long as my mother can remember growing up with P and her brothers and other sister, P was a bit different from the others in a way. My mother said that when her and her siblings come home from school and talk about something a kid did in class, P would respond saying "Yeah! Bobby did something like that in class too!" and everyone would ignore or shrug what P said. For many years, P would hear people talk about a subject and then jump right in as if she knows it when in reality, she doesn't. It took me about 19 years to notice this because my father knew about it when he met P before i was born. He noticed this when him and my uncles would talk about comic books and Marvel/DC and then P would jump right into the conversation as if she has Marvel/DC knowledge. In reality, she doesn't unless movies count.
During family gatherings, my family talks about whatever. News, TV, actors and a bunch of other things. Most of the time it's a lot of inside jokes or cracking jokes about people and we share a barrel of laughs. When movies are the subject, this is where P shines. My family would talk about a movie they haven't seen or have seen and speak their opinion about it. P would jump right in saying "Oh! Is that so-and-so the guy who played that character?" or "Oh yeah, that movie was great!" while at the same time, everyone ignores P and continues talking. P usually shuts up and doesn't speak unless she can weasel her way in another topic she's clueless about. There was one funny incident. My father wanted to show me what he means by P jumping into conversations she knows nothing about. So what does he do? He trolls P one day by talking about a movie that doesn't cease to exist while everyone is in on it, nodding their head in agreement just to egg it on. What does P do? She talks about as if she has seen it and then my father tells her that he made it up. P sucks her teeth and just mumbles under her breath knowing my father trolled her. Around this time was when i realized my father was right all along.
I'm not sure what P suffers to be this way and my mother has no fucking clue. My mother told me that P has been like this since childhood and her, my other aunt and my uncles grew to zone P out when this happens.
Fun fact: P has a Bachelors Degree in Accounting but is working some 9-5 job, i assume front desk. She isn't working in her major and she's been going to school before i was even born. My father thinks she's never going to stop because she possibly took out student loans and doesn't wanna pay it off. So she goes to college doing online courses so she doesn't have to pay.
Fun fact #2: P has also expressed wanting children even though my father jokes about her saying "Her eggs are dried up". P has talked to my father about this a few times and my father just nods and agrees and doesn't like talking to her about it. I'm not sure she wants kids because most of her brothers and sisters already have kids and she's at the point where she can have a child with an issue due to her age. P was in a relationship with one of her professors many years ago, but i guess that relationship sunk. My parents knew about it but i guess she was stupid enough to tell them. She was also in a relationship with this man that i met once in my life at a family dinner. He may have been an employee at her old job but lets just say the man looked to be in his 50s or 60s and this is when P was in her early 40s/late 30s. The man barely spoke to anyone and from what my parents told me, he was there for free food and had his feet propped up on a chair disrespectfully. After that, he was never seen again.

at them, some micspam and the usual unfunny shit, but we laughed about it then. No harm, no foul.
