Inspired by another thread. Of all the subjects someone can bring up in conversation what's the one that makes you want to roll your eyes so far back you can see behind your brain?

Light-hearted of course Grin

I once got stuck at a table at a wedding reception with someone 'in computers' who spent the entire 5 or 6 courses (including the speeches) reagling us with tales of how the new thing in gaming would be 'grey gamers' and that all people over the age of 50 would soon be as obsessed with gaming as everybody else, and would all be spending their retirement playing computer games. And on and on and on.
Thank God I had an endless supply of food and drink to keep me going.

Didn't anybody just...interrupt?

The pregnancies of random people I only vaguely know. I really don't give a shit about them being pregnant or about their impending offspring.
