- Yeah see you later.
I have my studio in a purpose built complex with shared kitched facilities for each floor. Every day I hear that exact same conversation played out by different sets of people about 50 times, ever day. I am right opposite the kitchen facility so I hear it happen almost word for word approximately every ten minutes or so.
This kind of bullshit drives me nuts. I grinned along with it for a while, then it began to really bug me that I was slavishly going along with it, so I tried to throw it off track with random conversational diversions which made everyone think I was a quirky and interesting person... so they all 'dropped by' my studio fifteen times a day 'to see what I was drawing' which meant constant irritating interruptions to explain over and over again what I was drawing to someone who really didn't understand what I was drawing so felt compelled to ask me more questions ... so now I get to my studio in the morning and shut the door and avoid everyone studiously, sneaking out for coffee and/or visits to the little room only when I know the coast is clear.
Now I have a reputation for being 'offish' and anti-social, up my own arse and a bit of a wanker. I know this because the gossip-fly and shit-stirrer of my floor told me so when she caught me making a cup of coffee last week.
Why are humans so fucking irritatingly impossible to deal with?

- pointless trying to talk to as I wont hear. Even so, I become aware that peoples mouths are moving, jovially...SkyPoo
- forcing me to remove my headphones and listen to what they're saying, which is always "How are you? Busy?"... Oh fuck off.SkyPoo

- Agreed. I too am known as being offish and anti-social. Mainly because I'm offish and anti-social, but mainly because I've been driven to it by imbeciles.********
