-20 − 2j: I will object to being called “miss” (“Thank you, miss”), without offering an alternative form of address, or thinking about what the proper one would be, and then after a lot of back-and-forth, agree that “miss” was appropriate in that context.
j = sqrt(-1) -- this is kinda orthogonal to ambition, but same counterproductiveness
