ok, so I in the coffee shop that I use as an office a few days a week. there are two guys sitting next to me, forties, standard middle aged dad clothes - polo shirts and cargo shorts, tevas. nothing to show that they are any different from the other 30,000 guys in town.

and they are talking tv. but passionatily - about different series, how they identified with this charactor or that charactor, about the emotions that they felt about the different charactors, etc.

they talked about the different seasons of buffy. this one was better than that one, etc.

come on, ******* man up. I don't care if you believe that ****, but don't talk about it in public!

seriously, a little dignaty.


thoughts?

No offense, but someone may feel the same way when you're talking about something in public.

On another note, I remember I was walking to lunch with a friend once and we over heard this guy say to a woman "...actually turned down the role of Chewbacca..." my friend burst out laughing. I wish I could have heard more of that conversation.

how is that really any different than talking about sports(which they never played or stopped playing a long time ago) with passion?

I love talking about stupid **** in public as if it was serious. Not Buffy, perhaps, but stupid ****. Like 90s cartoons or my balls or something.

Chill out. Unless they are getting demonstrative and shouting it's not your business and you shouldn't pry. I, of course, reserve the right to laugh at people's inferior taste when I overhear them discussing how passionate they are about stupid tv programs, their lame families or marsupialed jobs.

Did he have a huge beard? Maybe it was just a joke.

It is worse when you go to a restaurant and you hear people talk about food and wine. There is always someone trying to impress his date by swirling his glass and talking about its "prominent legs".

Oh no, this was real. It was one of the weirder things I've ever heard while walking down the street.

Once and The University of Maryland I was behind Steve Blake in line at a WaWa, and while the clerk was kissing his ass he had a soda bottle in his hand and only wanted to pay about .75 cents for it. He kept saying "Can I go, Can I go, is this cool, can I go?" All the sudden this chick from behind me says "Damn I want to suck his dick."

At least they weren't holding up the line at the cash register by talking on their cell phones vs. paying attention to the cashier.

it didn't even piss me off, I just found it surprising. it seemed a very undignified conversation for two adult men to be having. they were at the table next to me, and didn't really inturupt me. I just found it humorous. I mean, I like some tv shows, I will talk about them, but there is a little to how passionate I will get talking about tv. that's all.
