[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a close friend who is a foodie.

Every dining out experience must be at a new, hip place.  Every meal is dissected while eating and very often the food isn't really that amazing (according to her).  Lots of taking photos of the food and posting on social media.  (Am I the only person who finds these photos not terribly interesting?  Or is mildly annoyed that dinner turns into a photo shoot?)

I get it, this is her hobby and she enjoys it.  But it's kind of a buzzkill.  Sometimes dinner is just dinner and you eat at the old standby or someplace conveniently located.

I'm beginning to almost dread planning dinner out with this friend.

I guess I'm venting.  She's a good person and a long-time friend.  So I wouldn't consider not being friends with her.  I just need to deal, right?  Or is there a tactful way to point out this is annoying?[/quote]

I have a close friend who is a Democrat (big D democrat).

Every discussion must be about politics.  Every news update  is dissected while eating and very often the subject isn't really that amazing (according to me).  Lots of posting on social media.  (Am I the only person who finds these subjects not terribly interesting?  Or is mildly annoyed that dinner turns into a political debate?)

I get it, this is her hobby and she enjoys it.  But it's kind of a buzzkill.  I'm beginning to almost dread conversations with this friend.

I DID try saying that it was Saturday night and I was not interested, but to no avail  :(  Some hobbies just cannot be broken, sorry  :shock: [/quote]
