I set my stall out early
Luckily I work from home (mostly) but I do have to spend the occasional day in the office. On my induction I was introduced to the rest of the office and factory staff and spent a happy time filling in my induction forms (just paperwork wankery IMHO).
Unfortunately, several people tried to engage me in conversation about the REALLY important issues facing us as human beings, such as Big Brother (watched twenty minutes of the first broadcast, never will watch it again), football (tosspots game watched by tosspots and supported by tosspots YMMV) and certain "celebrities'" fatness/thinness/marriages/divorces (my opinions on "celebrities" are not printable, mainly because they are incoherent screams of rage and weeping at the fucking futility of it all and the sheer mindlessness of the "celebrity" watcher).

Since then, I rarely get dragged into conversation when in the office as I have no points of congruence with the denizens therein.

Fucking great!
