Things my neighbors do. I can ignore almost anything, and do. What car you drive and why. Any conversation centering on the coming Apocalypse. Let me enjoy my End Times in peace, please. What pizza chain my pizza came from. All Spectator sports. Just about any big movie/tv franchise. I like lots of movies and shows, but I watch stuff pretty randomly. How much gasoline costs. It has varied (usually) by less than a dollar a gallon since the 80’s. Why is everyone so concerned about spending (gasp!) an extra 10-15 dollars a week on gas? Oh my ghod, that could add up to _over 500 dollars a year!!!_. If only there were other expenses in the average budget to make up that catastrophic shortfall… Mall Shopping. I need stuff, I sort through a massive amount of other shiny stuff I don’t need, finally stagger out days later, about 50% of the time with a vague approximation of the stuff I was looking for. Which leads to…Fashion And is tangetially related to: Complicated hair stuff, long nails, or worrying about how religiously I’ve removed the hair from various areas of the body where women supposably don’t have hair. ---
