Small talk is hell

Today, I was struggling through small-talk at a party where I knew nobody. Tattoos came up and I started talking about trendy, girly tattoos like feathers, anchors and infinity signs with stupid words in them. Turns out the girl I was talking to had all three. FML

Tattoos is one subject I don't insult, because people have them for personal reasons I know nothing about.

If she likes them, cool. But she can't get mad if people make fun of her for following the pack. My favorite is "refuse to sink" with an anchor. ANCHORS SINK PEOPLE.

Why is it so terrible to have a common tattoo? Tattoos don't need to be this super-deep personal story, some just want a pretty thing. Things get cliché for a reason, because a lot of people like it, so why is it so horrible to admit you like something that others like too?

I have an anchor & helm tattooed on my shoulder, but I was also in the Navy. The helm indicates my rate & the anchor, of course, represents the Navy.

Didn't the boring, repetitive conversation and the utter lack of individual style in her clothing clue you in that this was a cookie-cutter trend-following Barbie? :D

I should read the fml again, I must have missed the part where he described her lack of style and repetitive conversation

Well, you couldn't have known, but maybe you shouldn't make assumptions. Still, who hasn't stuck her foot in her mouth trying to make small talk at a party?

Now there's 3 things you don't discuss at parties... religion, politics, and tatoos that you think are stupid.
