I use that as a sort of "litmus test" to determine whether or
not I
will have any further contact with that person. It keeps the social
signal/noise ratio nice and high. If someone doesn't "get it", they're
not worth my time and I don't bother with them anymore.
A very effective litmus test I must say. But sometimes you have to
endure you mothers friends..
You might find this gets better as you get older. In recent years,
I've found them to be a great source of highly interesting old free
stuff, both computer related and photographic. Of course it helps
that in the case of classic computers a lot of my Mom's friends are
highly motivated to preserve history.
