Ken WhiteKid2’s boyfriend — a very nice young man - recognized the computer game I was playing (a ludicrously overcomplicated strategy game called Europa Universalis IV) and we had a brief conversation about it and I could see her dying a little inside.

Back when my now-wife and I were first dating, we went to a gathering at her uncle's house, where I made a nerdy reference to a television show only he and I recognized and he lit up with joy and recited the next couple of lines, and both my now-wife and her uncle's wife spent the rest of the night apologizing for him getting so drunk he started spouting complete nonsense at me.
