Ya know what's really funny, because I do it a lot, (and it's more funny if I do it). Is when people place meaning on everyday meaningless things. I don't know why. To create a fantasy? To give meaning? It really doens't make sense to try and find an explanation for everyday occurrences. Things just happen, let it be. The more you place meaning on insignificant things and care about every detail in life, the more drab it becomes; depending on your view. It's not to say that every day events don't mean anything, but for an example...
Today I was coming out of the elevator and this guy steps on (we've been passing each other daily and 'small talk' occurs, but whatever.) And today he's all like, "fancy seeing you," as in it being some kind of coincidence. wtf? Of course man, WE LIVE IN THE SAME BUILDING!
