Bob was like that. A real asshole when it came to reading into things. He liked to wrap things up into neat little packages that implied the world.

The speaker criticises Bob for over-interpreting everything. Bob liked to compress messy experience into tidy, self-contained conclusions, as though each small thing summed up the whole world. The complaint is blunt and irritated, aimed at a habit of finding neat meaning where none needs to be forced.
