I overheard a conversation while at school today. There were three men (ages 35-45) standing outside smoking in a triangle. They were talking about relationships, and one said something similar to, "They just can't live without 'em. Always gotta be talking to 'em..." He was referring to a young person in his class, who apparently has a significant other, with whom he enjoys conversing. I won't horrify you with further examples from his narrow mind, except this: "I don't even want to talk to somebody that much. I ain't got that much to say to another person."

Yeah.

My brain went haywire trying to decide how to react.
