Conversation KillersThatNiceMan asks: Have you ever been talking with people down the pub when somebody throws such a complete curveball (Sample WTF moment: "I wonder what it's like to get bummed") that all talk is stopped dead? Tell us!

Someone asked for a tenuous pea?OK, then:
The unit I work in deals with quite a lot of sensitive and confidential information. As such, we have huge metal filing cabinets, which have shelving units inside that rotate.
To rotate them, you must release them with a foot pedal. It's a very basic mechanism, and often jams a bit, requiring a few tries. As such they clank quite a bit.
My unit used to sit next to these cabinets, and one day a guy came along to use one. This guy is a stereotypical nerd. He's in his late 40s/early 50s, really fancies himself as "intelligent" and does, as he pronounces it, "kahrahtay". I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he's a virgin.
He pushed the foot pedal and got no response, and kept trying, resulting in quite a bit of noise.
Ever jocular, my boss said to him, "Oh Steve, are you breaking the cabinet again?"
"I DIDN'T TOUCH HER!" was the immediate, forceful response.
