Patrick Bateman

In this movie the character in question is Patrick Bateman, who is a wealthy New York investment vice president who conceals his alternate psychopathic ego from his fellow workers and friends as he grows deeper into his illogical, gratuitous fantasies. Patrick 's life revolves around dining at expensive restaurants, wearing fancy suits to work, keeping up these appearances for his finance Evelyn and his work associates, most of whom who he despises.

In the case of his stained shirts at the dry cleaners, Patrick repetitively abuses the workers about their poor job and constantly uses the words “I will kill you” until he is seen by a friend as well as at the bar he still uses these same words. So it is more of psychological problem accompanied by his violent behaviors. Patrick believes he should always get his way with things and if not he feels threatened leading to his intemperate
