  If you are asking me as a hypothetical then I'm definitely going for the 'prattling on about useless things' option.
context: Agreed. My mom is like this and it’s so damn boring talking to her sometimes. She deems any hypothetical as stupid or unnecessary. It’s nice to exercise some imagination and have conversations for fun… >
  
  So, even though your mom isn't into hypothetical scenarios, she should endure the conversation just to keep you entertained? 
  If someone isn't into a topic you want to discuss, then you switch topics, or go hang out with somebody else. 
  I love hypotheticals, but when I encounter someone who doesn't, I don't judge them as "annoying" or "boring". 
  That's not how adults act. >
  
  Completely agree. Some people also want to avoid engaging in hypotheticals because it would make them look bad in an argument. >
  
  You are right, these hypothetical scenarios are a fun way to learn about each other >
  
  People who actually don't understand hypotheticals are even worse. >
  
  "Would you rather x or y"
  "Neither" >
  
  Dunno if it's unpopular but I do agree with you. They're missing the point of the exercise. Understanding where they're coming from but it defeats the whole purpose of the topic being discussed if they're just going to shut down the discourse abd discussions >
  
  No, you're annoying for dragging me into a scenario I don't give two shits about. >
  
  It depends if I like the person or not.  If you’re annoying, I’m shutting the convo down any way I can >
  
  It's annoying to not want to waste time prattling on about useless things when we could be discussing something meaningful?
