Wow, you must be a huge hit at parties huh?
Yeah, I usually just walk up to strangers and say "Oh hey my battery sucks! NO SOLUTIONS PLEASE!"
Uh no, casual conversation, I'm sure you've had a few. They general flow in certain ways, things can come up randomly, etc.
Something like:
"Blah blah blah idle chatter"
"Weather sports stuff"
*checks phone*
"Oh damn, phones dead already."
"Oh really? My phone lasts at least a day or two, and I have extra batteries to swap out. IPhones aren't very good for that, you really should have bought this other phone."
"Doesn't bother me much."
"Well not only is the battery better, but Android phones are more customisable and the OS is a lot blah blah blah."
I just found out that it also GMG when people focus on the most insignificant part of an example you provide for them, like they are unable of gathering what's important by context.
Another example (which illustrates my point better, and happens even more often) is:
"Oh I just bought that new PS4."
"Oh really? I have the XBOX ONE, ITS MUCH BETTER BECAUSE BLAH BLAH BLAH."
People who think their advice is valuable enough to give when no advice is requested or needed are adorable.
