Um, Yeah. Okay.

Description

I run into this a lot, especially when I go out with people to dinner. They try to bring me into the conversation, but they're usually going on about shit I either don't care about, or think is trashy and a waste of time. So, I sit there awkwardly acknowledging them and nodding my head vacantly unless I can sneak a snarky remark in somewhere.

"Did you see America's Got Talent last night? I thought _______ was so good!"

"No I didn't. Mhm." (You mean America's Got Talentless Hacks? Most of the shit on there is stupid and makes my eyes and ears bleed.)

"OMG Miley Cyrus was...what was that word...on the VMAs last night."

"Twerking, I think? Some stupid classless thing like that." (I'm ashamed I could even infer what that asinine slang word meant.)

"Yeah, that's the word! Did you watch the VMAs?"

"..." (Anyone who actually cares about decent music usually don't give a bloody fuck about the VMAs or MTV in general. They're all just attention whores with no talent anyway.)

...It's basically like that every time, I swear. It's so awkward for me. It's a miracle if I can turn the subject to something vaguely interesting, like science or food, or whatever.

:roll:

Whenever people talk to me about FNaF:
Them: "Hey who's your favorite animatronic in Five Nights at Freddy's?"
Me: "I don't know, man." (Dear god, why does anyone care about this stuff anyways? Is there even anything that splits them apart in any way?)
Them: "My favorite is Foxy the Pirate."
Me: "Uh... I honestly don't really care about Five Nights at Freddy's" (Can this conversation be over with already? How is this even stuff that exists?)
Them: "He's the best because (insert explanation that I couldn't care less about)
Me: "..." (Is any of this even cannon? Any one who actually cares about the quality of games shouldn't care this much about Five Nights at Freddy's. Just walk away slowly.)
