Chameleons
From The man who was afraid of ATMs;
"Who wants to live next door to a Singaporean anyway?" (...) "Might as well go back to Singapore!"
According to a wildlife documentary Chang saw on cable, chameleons hated company. If another chameleon came near, they would fight and one would be forcibly ejected from the other's territory. Annette reminded him of a chameleon. Once she adapted to fit into her surroundings, she preferred not to be near her own kind.
