Subjects on Which Otherwise Sane People Go a Bit Loopy

[TightEnd]

these can be positives or negatives.

for example

people get very exercised about Arsene Wenger, religion and Southern Rail (preferably not all at once)

equally its possible to get very energised by Helen Mirren, Game of Thrones and (for some weirdos) trains

So...

Subjects on Which Otherwise Sane People Go a Bit Loopy.......?

Apple vs Android is the one I find baffling.

All my Apple only friends don't care if you have Android, but they are cult like obsessed about Apple products, have to get the new one even though it's no different, etc.

All my Android only friends really really really give a shit if you are an Apple user, it hurts their brain as much as Trump/Brexit does for others. I have a friend who I think must have lost genuine friends because of how angry he gets if you whip out an iPhone.

I love this. Great to get so angry about stuff like this. I'd like to be friends with your friend

Met a lady last year who said,straight faced

"I am an apple fan-girl" and proceeded to excitedly demonstrate her apple phone to me before giving a withering look when i told her i was an HTC user and had never had an i-phone and really wasn't too bothered which phone i had, which phone anyone else had and why would you want a watch to access the internet anyway?

Probably speaks to how easy we have it in Western society, and how tribal we are on an evolutionary level, that this is a genuine source of (minor) conflict in our lives.

Mind you, I have a mate who fucking queues for them overnight so he obviously is the worst of the lot.

Parking

Parking outside other people's houses?
Allocated seats on trains.
Shoes in homes.
NHS services provided by private firms.
EU referenda.
Lord of the Rings.
Being called a racist.

PS Apple owners are the worst.  It is a phone, not an iphone and a tablet not an ipad.  Bet they don't say "I'll pick you up at 7 in my Ford SMax 1.8 Diesel Titanium* ffs or I am sending an email from my Dell Inspiron.  I have had several different phones including an iphone.  Currently got a Samsung, will probably switch back next time.

* though maybe if they had a BMW?
