People Reveal What Makes Them Immediately Check Out Of A Conversation

10.

The word "sheeple".

I generally find that word is just shorthand for "I'm not capable of defending my perspective with any civility, coherence or original thoughts."

That, or encountering someone who seem to believe that volume and/or repetition increase the validity of their point.

Religion. Doesn't really matter to me if that's your jam, but please don't expect me to relate to it in any way, shape, or form. That ship sailed a long time ago.

Somebody saying "what you have to understand is..."

Like f**k off dude, you can explain yourself without assuming I'm an idiot.

My brother, who I love, has an annoying conversational habit of saying "let me explain something to you". OMG I used to go red. Then he'd say we couldn't have a conversation because I got so emotional. Finally we talked about it and I was rational enough to point out that when he said that it was demeaning and insulting. He had no clue.

He still does it, it's a tic. But now I know it's his way of saying "I need to express this thing I know." So I just indulge him.
Most of the time lol. I'm only human. Sometimes I'm not in a tolerant frame of mind and I hafta nope out.

'I'm not being racist but...'

'I'm not a homophobe but...'

Anything that follows is going to be either racist or homophobic and I don't have time for that kind of talk.

"Wellllll to play the devil's advocateeeeeeeee"

Nothing good has ever come next. It's never "Oh well, to play the devil's advocate I really think pastrami is superior to corned beef." It always ends up being something sh**ty.
