Me, when learning what they do for work and they're a mechanical engineer working on rocket thrusters for weapons, and "business is really good right now so I can't complain"
My washer went out several years ago, and when I was at rhe laundromat I decided to chat with this old man there because why not, he looks lonely and I'm bored af. Two sentences in he starts rambling about how the whole world is degenerate and that the end is coming soon....
Ah, yes, when they tell you they vote AfD and you ask them about something on the party platform and they tell you it is not in there and so you quickly search the document, show them and they call you a liar...
The moment i realize that they would prefer deporting immigrants and discriminate LGBT+ folks instead of demanding higher wages on the streets...happens too many times and for some fucking reason there is no way to escape every time
Also those who rant about welfare cheats but never talks about billionaire and corporate tax cuts and subsidies and wage theft being the bigger cheats of them all.

If I can’t escape the conversation at that point, I just see if I can work in all of the names of the seven dwarves to entertain myself.
“Just thinking about that makes me Sleepy…” etc.
They won’t notice if it’s done well and even if they do notice, what are they gonna do?
This is so dopey I might just have to try it.
Don’t be Bashful! What’s the worst that could happen?
If you don't pull it off well then you might make the other person kinda grumpy
It’d be a stupid way to end up getting punched.
“What happened?”
“Well Doc, it started with a boring conversation…”
I'd just be happy if that meant the conversation was over...
It's not that (sn)eezy to just end a conversation full of terrible puns though.
All the fucking time.
Go to a business conference.
Like that they're into the same stuff I am.
Laugh a bit.
Even complain about Trump/Republicans.
They then say, "Ah I wish Elon Musk was president."
Fuck.
Sometimes for the pettiest reason imaginable.
“What an annoying laugh, especially for such an unfunny joke.”
