Kinetic 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2009 We've all had this experience: you're having a friendly conversation at a party, orgy, beheading, or other social event. Things are going just fine. Then, suddenly, two or more of the people you're conversing with start discussing something that you couldn't possibly be less interested in. You start to lose focus. Your eyes glaze over. You smile and nod politely, but you're really focusing on an exit strategy. What does this to you? For me, it's: -Cars. Anything to do with cars. I couldn't care less. -Stereo equipment. Also, musician's equipment. Many's the time that I've been run off by a couple of undesirables discussing the FartHammer 757 ExciteX sub-woofer or whatever the fuck. It's boring. -Any detailed account of someone's job. Unless you're a lion tamer, no one cares. Your office or lab job isn't even interesting to other people who work in offices or labs.

I always interject 'Did they Lez out?' as she starts, she promptly says no, doesn't get the hint I'm not interested, and carrys on to tell me what mundane thing they did.

TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2009 -Any detailed account of someone's job. Unless you're a lion tamer, no one cares. Your office or lab job isn't even interesting to other people who work in offices or labs. I hate talking about jobs/hearing about people's jobs. It's such a boring, dead end, going nowhere conversation. And everyone will ask you how your job is going, and I hate repeating a story. I think that's what bothers me more about it.

Kinetic 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2009 It's good to see so many people mention cars here. There's this assumption from a lot of guys that all dudes are into cars, but I always suspected that being interested enough in cars to actually want to have a conversation about an engine was really more of a fringe thing.

Kinetic 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2009 I am not perfect in this regard, either. I've been known to clear a room (or at least a corner of a room) discussing draft prospects or the finer points of Bowie's 70s output. But, y'know, it's interesting when I'm talking about it.

TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2009 I'm another that doesn't care about cars either. Which is funny, because my dad has been in the auto business for 30+ years, and not a thing rubbed off on me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Smues Report post Posted January 18, 2009 Fishing and hunting. I won't say I have no interest in either, as I went fishing for the first time this summer, and I'd like to go hunting sometime. But I have no interest in talking about either in any kind of detail, but given the state I live in the conversation turns to both topics a lot. Especially at the last place I worked.

Krankor 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2009 Computer Games: They may be entertaining but I have a lot better way to spend 18 hours of the day. Computer Games that are in development: Who cares about something that doesn't even exist yet? Disney related shit: People love this shit. I don't know why. Disneyland, Disney world, fucking mouse. I don't care. This is some of the shit that would come out of my ex's mouth. Anything that comes out of my ex's mouth: Her mouth starts moving, and I start thinking about things that don't normally interest me like golf. Golf: If I need a visual sedative, this is the sport I choose. Cars: Some older cars are fun to drive and speed around, but other than that I don't give a shit. As long as my car's breaks work and the car runs I'm set. Car Accessories: Rims, tinted windows, stereo system, tv in the steering wheel, gps system, airplane wing on the trunk... All useless garbage to me. I'll be interested once I can make a cup of coffee in my car, while driving to work. Cell Phones: I don't care about cell phones at all. It's a fucking phone. I don't care how much your phone cost, or what it can do, or what stupid ringtones you purchased. No one, cares. Your Boss: I don't care what he did to you. You probably had it coming. And the answer is yes, I think he's out to get you. He goes home and plots and schemes about it. Political Commentators: There has got to be a Tony Little infomercial on somewhere that's more interesting than what comes from these half wits. Poker TV: Why is this on TV? Who is at the edge of their seat watching this crap with glee and excitement? MY GOD LOOK AT THE RIVER!!!! no. Why doesn't ESPN start showing all facets of casino gambling? I'll tune in to watch old lady on a stool with a bucket of nickles at the slot machine before poker. Saturday Night Live: No explanation necessary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd certainly watch other casino games with more interest than 300 hours a week of poker. Hell, give me a variety show with slots and roulette. Hell, you could play along to roulette.
