Remember that time I didn't care?

Sometimes, I don't understand people.

So, I'm not sure if people do stupid shit on purpose just so I can comment (I know this sounds like I'm way to into myself, which, I mean, yeah kinda, but still... ) or if they're just that dumb.

People who are usually like 3 tiers below my acquaintances on the social totem pole of my life always do the stupid things that make me wonder.

I was hanging out at a friends house after work. They had a bunch of people over we played some games and had some food. It was pretty fun. People started leaving and I decided I would stick around and help my friend clean up her apartment a bit. Another person had the same idea. We're cleaning up and out of nowhere this chick says "Oh I have to take my birth control pill". Okay. Why do I need to know this? I don't care if you're trying not to have babies. But whatever. She stepped out of the living room (I assume to take her pill) and I continued picking stuff up.

When she came back, she started telling me something about her boyfriend and how they're getting engaged soon. Okay. I don't really care. This isn't the kind of small talk I want to participate in. I wouldn't mind the "How do you know so-and-so" ... "what do you do for a living" ... "What's your favorite movie"... that I can handle.

This wasn't even the worst part. My friend asked me to stay for a while and I agreed. I had nothing else to do, might as well. This same girl decided to stay too, even though she wasn't asked to. It kind of bothered me, but it's not my house. As we're sitting in the living room, she begins rustling through her purse. I'm thinking, well maybe she has something to give my friend... or maybe she's looking for her car keys... something. Ignoring it is the best option.

I begin talking to my friend. I had not seen her in a month so I tell her to catch me up on everything I have missed out on (parties, drunkenness... all the fun stuff). As she's telling me stories about one of our other friends puking in a cab after a big night of drinking, the other girl throws her little birth control pill case thingy majiggy. It flies across the room and lands at my feet.

Ha! I should take this as a hint! I told my friend. My friend just laughed.

All the other girl said was "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm over here throwing my baby-stoping pills all over the place"with a little tee-hee in her voice. I wanted to ask her what that was about. Was she mad that she wasn't in our conversation?

After that she left. I stayed behind. I learned that she is my friend's friend, but they're really not that close, but she's the kind of girl that gets sad if she's not given the attention she wants. My friend told me "I think she threw that at you because you didn't seem interested in her". I must have missed the memo where we were told to care about everyone.
