Room Ruddy-Aggravating 2.0

[Wisp]

It's back. I love moaning and reading other people's moans. I have a moan right now:

People who pretend they like something you like just as much as you do to make conversation. there is no point in this. I shall now transcribe an example.

Anon: So, what is your favourite band, then?
Me: Well, I don't usually have favourites, but I love Muse. That's about as far into "bands" I go.
Anon: Oh, I love Muse too! They're the best band ever.
Me: Ah, what's your favourite album then?
Anon: Well actually I only heard one of their songs. It was quite good though.
Me: You disgust me. Get out of my sight and only come back when you think of a better way to talk to people.

I also had a friend when I was 10 which I strongly disliked anyway and couldn't really count as a friend in hindsight who, no matter what I mentioned, claimed to be a massive fan of it. Of course I got wise to this and asked her questions about said videogame or movie, and she fell out with me. Thank fuck for that. I couldn't handle interrogating her about Crash Bandicoot one second more.

There's just no point in it! People do it on dates as well. They try to have as much in common with the person as possible but it's obviously going to fall through when the space between ...ahem... other things needs to be filled with conversation.
