My roommate likes to talk. A lot. About stuff no one but he cares about. He talks on the phone a lot, to his girlfriend in Santa Barbara. it's pretty normal to have him wander around all evening saying "I know honey, don't be mad at me honey, I'm sorry" etc.
Anyway, he also talks to other people whenever his girlfriend is busy or whatever. He likes to talk about stuff no one cares about. A few minutes ago, he was standing behind me talking about AT&T double charging him or something. I kind of learned to tune him out, since he's always talking to his girlfriend on the phone, but apparently he was talking to me.
1) I don't care about the specifics of your cell phone bill.
2) No one else does either.
3) Even if I did care, it'd be nice if you asked me a question or something to start a conversation with me, rather than standing behind me and just opening your mouth.
4) No one wants to know about how you're cooking your food. If you can't find a bowl to put your soup in "Hey, where'd you put the bowls?" is a perfectly acceptable question. if you haven't even opened the cupboard, "I need to put my soup in a bowl" is a waste of air.
5) No ones cares that you're going to Fry's and/or Costco. If you need to go, just go. Don't tell me "I have to go to Fry's" after which you chat with your girlfriend on AIM for 40 minutes, then tell me "I have to go to Fry's again", until you repeat that 12 times over the course of three days before you even actually leave the house and go to Fry's.
6) You can't fix cars/motorcycles. If I hear you ask "it's lefty loosey, right?" followed 40 minutes later by "Argh, ugh, WTF? I hate this piece of crap" about a LIGHT BULB that you can't remove, it is impossible to take you seriously. If you spend 15 minutes trying to remove a light bulb, and ask for help, after which I walk over and remove the lightbulb in 2 seconds, I will never, ever ask for your opinion on fixing anything with lightbulbs in it, in this case, a motorcycle. Don't offer me advice about how I have to bleed the brakes on said motorcycle to remove the brake pads. I KNOW that I don't have to, you have no idea whether I have to, and you already disqualified yourself from offering advice by not knowing which way to turn a wrench.
7) I don't care if you're "Going to get some grub". If you're hungry, eat, I don't need a narration of your life. Oh, and stop saying "going to get some grub" that phrase is getting my nerves.
8) When a TV show is on about some subject, you do not impress me by spouting off all your knowledge of said subject during my TV show, in fact, this annoys me and makes it hard to hear the TV.
9) You're not deaf, turn the closed captioning off.
10) An overweight Indian guy looks absolutely ridiculous in a Iron Maiden shirt and sweatpants.
