Ughh Shut Up Already! | People Stories #508

what topics make you go are shut up i used to be a divorce lawyer which of course makes people think i want to hear horror stories about their ex when i'm not even at work often when i'm at a party or out in public i twitch i'm a commercial property lawyer people also think i want to hear their family divorce lore stories or their duis influencer drama popular douchebag one calls popular douchebag to a poopy head and all of a sudden it's national news like you the frick cares when i'm talking about something i've done or bought and the other person has to try and one-up you constantly i have recently started replying with of course you have if they start bragging about something they have done or owned that is so much better than my example usually these people don't quite get the sarcasm if someone goes why aren't we talking about this i just naturally assume now that the topic they are referring to is extremely specific to their life and in no way impacts me or lots of people are in fact talking about this but they don't know because they refuse to leave their echo chamber celebrity bs it's weird people care what complete strangers are doing with their life when they couldn't care less of yours and who you personally are stalkerish behavior emo also when good looking people start going ooh like i'm so ugly because they want someone to tell them no you're not for validation celebrities do this as well when my students start rambling about whatever half-baked crackpot half-truths of history that they got from fb twitter whatever that they believe is the gospel truth i majored in political science and trust me this is almost always my response when someone wants to talk politics with me the vast majority of the time talking politics just involves hearing someone recite to me the talking points they heard from their favorite media personality and it is rarely a honest dialogue in most political conversations people are just thinking about how they are going to counter what the other person is saying there is rarely an attempt to actually listen and understand where the other person is coming from to reach a consensus it is often just a quarrel that feeds on itself at infinitum 100 accurate especially the bit where you mention that people are only listening to respond and not to comprehend what the other is saying it becomes a battle of who is right and who is wrong talking to understand can be mutually beneficial unfortunately most political convos do not reach this point drama in work honestly i don't give a crap how why person a doesn't get along with person b because person c has done or said something stf you it's a job grow up and start doing what you are paid to do outside of work you can beat each other up all you want my co-workers are so dramatic it's rare i get a second of peace without having to hear someone screaming about what this other person did i'm like guys we work at a pizza shop nothing could be that serious homeopathy and how it magically cured arthritis of my friend's great-grandmother after all mainstream doctors failing to reduce her pain right now covet it's so depressing to hear about every single day either on every social media platform or having a conversation at work or with someone else it's depressing as heck the amount of people who are surprised that others don't like to talk about politics is more surprising to me than the majority of other answers responses when very young mostly white people try to start a racial conversation with me a black woman about something that is really not offending me and i don't consider racist the newest one was thinking that white women calling black women queen is racist prejudiced no it really isn't it doesn't bother me call me queen all day i don't care can we fight real injustices before we start nitpicking stuff that isn't really bothering anyone i can't see how america can move on to inequality and all the awful things that stem from it until they get over the decades-long discussion about what adjective to use instead of black when black is perfectly fine anyway as someone who has been actively suicidal in the past it is rough when someone brings up suicide in general but if you're the type of person to say you're depressed and in the same breath say 13 reasons why was an accurate portrayal of depression and post about your depression for attention i have no words for how much i need to punch you this feeling usually happens over lunch at work i do not care about celebrity gossip or reality show discourse and i really do not care about your diet and the nutritional content of your food talking about food from home while eating it that's like the worst small talk imaginable people who will go on endlessly about the only just legally distinct from keto diet being flogged by the latest grifter or whatever or cato for that matter any kind of diet how about you eat what you want and shut the frick up when people divert any conversation to themselves i literally called someone because i really needed a friend in that moment and after i said i needed to talk about something serious they started talking about their day at work and some rude customer who offended them please i just wanted 10 minutes elon musk i don't hate the guy in fact i was big fan of him in high school i think it was probably in between him accusing that diver of being a pr file and him naming his son xctc when i realized he really likes media attention i've always avoided people who were obsessed with the spotlight in my personal life i now know other people who are working toward similar scientific goals that aren't distracting themselves from their work i've lost interest and i think the algorithms that control my social media account haven't caught on yet i agree with you and i think most people don't find him as interesting as most people in the media seems to so i was little shocked to find out he's hosting snl tomorrow i have a feeling it's going to be an awkward train wreck and not the so bad it's good kind either someone posting about how useless their high school classes were and they wish they had learned how to do taxes b you wouldn't have taken the tax class if it was offered my curriculum mandated that we all take calm career and life management this disbelief included taxes credit etc but no the court was a joke no teacher or feedback we barely covered anything but a vague idea of how to budget life managed when people talk politics at work work is for work not political debate if i want to debate you on politics i'll do that elsewhere when pastors and other christians say something cringey shout out men during a sermon or try and push you due to something and i'm a christian myself they are part of the reason why i am perfectly fine telling friends and co-workers i'm a christian but at the same time i don't force my beliefs onto them or tell them don't do this do that whether you're part of a religion a movement a community or even a fandom you should be careful of how you show yourselves to others because people will see you as an example of whichever group of people you fall into i know a lot of christians don't mean any harm but they look like they're socially inept as an american pretty much anything relating to politics like why can't we talk about aliens or something leave it to an american to turn aliens into a political topic kardashian anything or any influencer shite it's beyond me how anyone tunes into any of them i remember something blowing up about one of them making a video of how to eat a kitkat from that moment i knew america was a lost cause besides the fact that a reality tv buffoon was running the country it's because instead of taking care of your own personal problems or attaining goals for yourself it's a lot easier to live through someone else i had a roommate in an apartment in college that was obsessed with celebrities and hollywood drama her life however was a mess and she was never really happy unless on social media or discussing celebrities disclaimer covered 19 should be taken seriously and those saying otherwise are part of the problem that being said i'm sick of hearing unnecessary doom and gloom about it too yeah this is bad but exaggerating how bad it is doesn't help either i hear people say things like if you send your kids to school you are sentencing them to death or we will just have to wear masks the rest of our lives my friend was out for a walk and someone yelled from their window that he shouldn't be outside during a pandemic i saw a thread where a guy talked about his job requiring him to be in office and redditers were telling him he should quit for the greater good of humanity if you feel that seriously about it go live in a bunker and enjoy living off canned beans go live in a bunker and enjoy living off canned beans sets aside empty can of beans how dare you sir british royalty i don't care about any of them who they're dating how many kids they have celebrities crap i don't give a dang about even when it's an actor i care about it barely interests me unless it's something really funny but 99 of the time it's about someone i don't care about so it's even worse astrology go be crazy somewhere else the weather if we're talking we're in the same vicinity we have the same weather so telling me it's cold warm today it's kinda stating the obvious i don't know why that kind of small talk is so common in society like why whether and not i don't know hey that wall is very blue to me those statements are about the same but for some reason saying it's cold today is deemed normal while saying that wall is blue would be met with weird looks politics if you're treating it as celebrities crap i don't give a dang about i'm all for debating politics as long as it's debating and not just throwing out random emotional anecdotal opinions but not gossiping about politics hey i like talking about the weather if a wall was gray yesterday but it's blue today you bet your butt i'd mention it to people i can't go out the night i have to go to the gym i'll be doing meal prep all day sunday or else i would gosh i'm so sore my trainer really pushed me yesterday you know there are a lot of calories in that right i drink two gallons of water a day can we pick a different restaurant that has gluten free dairy free sugar-free vegan food like we get it you're the pinnacle of great health it doesn't need to be your entire personality though can we break this down to anyone who makes anyone one thing their entire personality fitness a single hobby gaming i'm looking at you their sexual identity their political view smoking weed their religion etc weed i'm glad you like it but i don't care about it please for god's sake stop talking about it i'd literally rather discuss damn near anything else when my know it all relatives who has lived in the u.s for 50 years tries to explain to me about statistics of chronic diseases crohn's disease alzheimer's and covet or how to cook chinese food i am not an expert but i have a master's degree in biostatistics and public health and spent my teenage and adult years studying interning and working in public health before going corporate developing crohn's and alzheimer drugs i also co-owner asian restaurant with my friend where i helped decide their weekly specials after i have tested recipes at home it's really irks me to have to listen to someone who tries to teach or educate or enlighten me about something i have spent my life studying and working and then proceeds to use i have lived 68 years and have more life experience than you as a reason to defend her false statements when i prove her wrong with a simple google search or when they tell me how my chinese food is wrong because mine is not traditional enough when i try to travel back to different parts of asia once or twice a year to learn and pay for recipes from chefs who owns michelin restaurants i have two volumes of cantonese and chinese recipes from friend's father who owned a two michelin star restaurant but passed away years ago and gave me his recipe manual with pricing and profit margin on all the recipes his mentor passed down to him and his recipes so that recipe manual is at least 70 plus years old including a collection of food hawker recipes and several hundred typical restaurant and home cooked foods i might not have cooked all those recipes yet i am about 48 recipes in but i do my dang best to follow the recipe trust fund wide kids dictating their particularly snarky brand of performative wokeness especially unprompted and when it's unrelated to the topic at hand also unsolicited and non-sequitur political opinions can't stand visiting family members who spout off every single inconvenience as the democrats or liberals fault i'm here to enjoy dinner with you not get roped into your half-baked conspiracy theories they could trip going up the stairs and somehow it'll be those damn lipton's fault if you are new to the channel you can subscribe i publish new videos every day until then check another video [Music] so bye for now
