Wow, excessively stupid conversation

There are moments where I really hate forgetting headphones at home. Tonight is one of them. Sitting not to far away from me is a couple, I suspect that they are either just friends and have been friends for some time or on a date, but early on. She is speaking loudly, the kind of person who actually seems to think that whatever she says is cool enough that everyone should be able to hear it. In addition to the volume, there's a cadence issue, it's halting and of such that pulls your attention that you would rather have ANYWHERE else. And what are our topics? Well, alarms was able to take up a significant amount of time. When you're new to the iPhone you don't realize that when you set it to silent the alarms go off. She was at the ballet (or something) and of course her alarm goes off (did you notice the dropping of (1) having an iPhone and (2) being cultured and ballet going). Shortly followed up by Dad teaches contracts 101 because everyone in law school has to go through contracts. Apparently a small school. There was also a significant amount of time about a wanting a dog but not ever having had a dog and how her cat just uses her for a heater. And the former President of the UW shouldn't die, but should suffer for increasing tuition while building a stadium and dorms everywhere. He occasionally gets a word in edgewise. Oh god, I forgot about what she spent an insane amount of time on when I first got here - Dodgeball or Kickball and apparently songs or something, but very little time is spent actually playing.
