Pets. Work. Driving tickets. Golf. Very-online drama. The general minutiae of the lives of others.

There are also topics people go on about too much or take too seriously, which get completely boring and annoying, such as:
- Government
- Cultural movements
- Social Media
- Sports politics
- Fantasy movies (Star Wars, Marvel, etc)

Politics and government is just allowing the 90% of uninformed citizens choose someone who is just in it for publicity, to put in policies that benefit themselves without actually caring for big picture.

It's mind blowing, isn't it? I remember seeing people organizing/taking part in Pro-Trump rallies.....in Canada. Just...why? Seriously, why?

Fantasy themed movies/shows. Game of Thrones and harry Potter are extremely popular but for whatever reason can not be bothered to get into it.

Work. Please don’t ask me what I do for work when we first meet. I always answer vaguely and then respond with “what do you do for fun??”

I always tell people the same thing "I drive a Napa auto parts truck.....yeah the one with the hat on the roof".

Everyone loses interest in my work at that point.

You know how people say "I could care less about ..." and someone will come along to correct them and say "actually, it's 'I couldn't care less'"?


To me, this ^^^ is the definition of "I could care less". It's when there's a subject that you have somehow gained knowledge about and have some understanding of but you gained that knowledge through no effort of your own and you wish you didn't have that knowledge.

For me, the Kardashians are a perfect example of that. I know things about them, but wish I didn't. I could care less about the Kardashians.

Baseball.

Basketball.

Gaming.

Mass shootings. (I care about them, but realistically there is virtually nothing that I can do about them, so I figure it is best to just try to ignore them).

Reality tv and any of the talent shows, dancing shows, and game shows (other than Jeopardy, which I watch).

Especially if they're in their 90's and haven't made a movie/album in 30+ years.
