Two conversations I had today with coworkers that ended in me going, "?!?":

(scene: discussion of the incidence of autism, over lunch)
coworker 1: The US has the highest incidence.
coworker 2: It's becoming just a catch-all diagnosis.
coworker 1: We also have the highest vaccination numbers, which is probably related.
me: Actually, they've done several studies that have found NO correlation between vaccinations and autism.
coworker 1: Well, a lot of people say that there is a correlation.
me: But all the studies they've done have found none..
coworker 1: But they've done a lot of studies on it! *rests her case*
me: ?!?

(scene: a coworker and I were talking about how school lunches are better now, which morphed into a discussion of eating habits)
her: Your family eats pretty healthy, right?
me: Yeah, pretty healthy.
her: Ever since I moved in with [new husband], I've been eating so unhealthfully!
me: Oh, that's too bad.
her: Yeah, he wants to eat dinner EVERY NIGHT, and I just am like, "Can't we have a night with no dinner?! Please?!" Sheesh.
me: ?!?
