Eavesdropping
I blame it on KWB350.
The homework set to us writing students was to "go out and eavesdrop" - in order to better our dialoguing skills.
Sitting in the refectory today, I couldn't help but overhear a conversation on the table next to me. This conversation consisted entirely of the person complaining about two things. For half an hour. I won't mention the gender of the person, because men and women both do it chronically, but yeah. That's a long time to be complaining about something, or even two things. The other person in the conversation didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded throughout.
It reminded me of a person who I stopped talking to, mainly because all they ever did was complain about things to me.
The funny thing? I'm sitting here spending time complaining about their complaining :)

it was fate that i clicked on this one to comment on.
i'll bet that it was a girl complaining.
it's more likely for another girl to sit there and nod their head along with the world's most boringest conversation.
I am not talking to you anymore Luke. ;)
