I was watching Seinfeld the other day, and Elaine was telling Jerry how she doesn't like to talk to the cabbie when she gets a taxi. She says, "why does everything have to have a social component?"
I thought it was so funny and true. I'm somewhat certain that the things I enjoy most do not have a social component. I either want to be doing a task, or socialising. I don't want anything between - this unsettles me.
A cab ride I can take because it's no more than 30 minutes, but I can't imagine being for example a cop and being on beat patrol with another cop. You'd have to either get on with them socially, or the whole thing wouldn't work and it'd be awkward to the point of unsustainable.
AmIright?!
