Fictional characters you enjoy reading about but wouldn't want in your real life
I was thinking about this as I read one of the Inspector Montalbano mysteries by Andrea Camilleri (in the English translation). Inspector Montalbano is impulsive, emotional, tends to overreact to small things, and lies to avoid confrontation. He's funny to read about, but I wouldn't want to work with him! His long-suffering Sergeant Fazio should have been promoted a long time ago.

Jack Reacher in the books by Lee Child would be handy to have around if you needed help getting rid of some criminals, but he's pretty much the complete opposite of me and we would most likely hate each other. Of course he would move on within a few days anyway, hopefully before he killed me out of sheer aggravation.....

What fictional characters would drive you crazy if they appeared in your real life?
