Things we do to fit in"When I was fifteen," writes No3L, "I curled up in a Budgens trolley while someone pushed it through the supermarket doors to nick vodka and Benny Hedgehogs, just to hang out with my brother and his mates."
What have you done to fit in?

I've had this problem previouslyand find the best way to cope is to interject with something completely off-topic.
I learned this from my gran, who was (towards the end of her life) pretty much mad as a tree. But it takes a rare type of stupidity to persist in banal conversations when the only response comes out of left-field.
Try it. The next time she starts on something like that turn, pause, and declare "you know what, I don't really like helicopters". Or "Sorry, I thought I saw a wasp". Or "Bloody hairdryer's gone on the blink again".
