It can be anything: at your job or any forced activity that you just don't feel like doing surrounded by other people. Visiting certain place, local, party, etc. It can be anything: at your job or any forced activity that you just don't feel like doing surrounded by other people.

I had to accompany my young brother to a small comic con thing a month ago and I was cringing HARD in that place I couldn't bear being there, I just kept my head down most of the time otherwise I would've just start laughing or rolling my eyes looking all that adult people dressed like it's a shitty Halloween party.

Anytime two people who don't know each other are forced to wait in a shared waiting area.

One person feels the NEED to talk about SOMETHING. So it's always the weather. ALWAYS the weather. Is there a more boring and irrelevant topic in all of humanity???

"Oh, think it'll rain Tuesday?"

"I don't give a shit."

But somehow I'M the asshole. All I wanted to do was scroll my phone, and wait for my appointment in silence. I'm not even a fan of this mundane music we're forced to listen to. If I want music, I'll wear my headphones. And if you want music, YOU wear YOUR headphones.

But don't bother me with the weather just because you feel a compulsive need to fill the silence. I like the silence.

Just don't look at them and say, "Indeed, there does appear to be weather outside, happening right now."

It is outside out today. I am expecting it to be quite outside out for the foreseeable future.
