Loosely related to what you're talking about but in the real world and not on an internet forum, people with no interest in the world cup who try to make conversation about it.
I am frequently being asked "who won the football?...." "oh did they?"......."are they good then?"...."who do you think will win now?"...."are they in Englands group?"
I can see the answers to any questions are being forgotten by the time i've finished answering them as they simply don't care but feel the need to fill a silence with inane drivel. It's bad enough when it's in between matches but when it's during matches it's even worse. "who are the team in the yellow?"......"so if they lose are they out?"......"what happens if it's a draw?"
You don't care, i enjoy silences, please stop asking boring questions.
