I mentioned Playstation to my coworker and now she thinks I'm a nerd so she's been telling me Dr. Who stuff non-stop (to the point where it disrupts my work). The thing is, I only got a PS4 for Bloodborne, and am not interested in much nerdy stuff besides that. This week is super hectic and I'm having trouble making it clear to her that I need to focus on getting this patch out by Thursday. Any advice, GBS?

Take her aside, and in a calm voice say "I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in Dr Who."

also there is nothing funnier than seeing a nerd irl who is being talked to by a worse nerd and clearly gives zero shits about warhammers most recent novel or the plot of the last MLP episode but the first one just doesnt have the social ability to tell the second one to go away

e: if you read this and it resonates with you because you often find yourself in detailed, indepths conversations about something that you give zero shits about, just know that everyone around you is noting it and laughing at you because you are a maladjusted nerd almost as bad as the one that is haranguing you about the sociopolitical implications of a hetalia sequel

sometimes you get the real tenacious ones, where the person tries to go "uhuh, oh yeah totally" and then half-turns and then slides away and the result is a quick sidestep, now you're face to face again AND S/HE'S OFF on a new tangent about class conflict in cosplay communities

e: and also thats just one kind of nerd that will walk away, nowadays you have tons of Nice Nerds who are worried about ostracizing losers because they know if they start, theyll eventually be the next loser on the chopping block, so they are inoffensive and kind to everyone and just cant figure out how to stop this rapidly intensifying conversation about whether or not the ending of mass effect was a metaphor for obama taking power

I watch Dr. Who a few years ago, told my loved ones that it was a pretty interesting show. My own brother and mother told me to gently caress off, that show is for babies. Now a year later they are the biggest fans and won't shut the hell up about it. So annoying!
