Angela Merkel Rolls Her Eyes at Putin, and It's Immensely Gratifying

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Russian President Vladimir Putin aren't exactly the best of friends — and never was that more apparent than in a rather amusing candid moment caught on camera at the G20 summit. The G20 brings together world leaders to discuss trade, economics, and — of course — politics. So naturally, tensions often run high — and when they do, you can count on the internet to spot them.
In the clip, posted by Twitter user and journalist Simon Ricketts, Putin is talking to Merkel about something. However, she looks pretty done with him, rolls her eyes, and appears to let out a small sigh, as well.

Others compared it to the one Anderson Cooper gave to Kellyanne Conway:
Madam Chancellor you do you!
Hey @andersoncooper I believe Madam Chancellor just bet your eye roll. You did good, but now she's the champ.— The New Me (@orangeseahorse) July 7, 2017
And plenty of women could totally relate:
Angela Merkel is every super-qualified woman at a conference or academic conference or industry party https://t.co/hWB732KK5H
