    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?

    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.

    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....

    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
