Conversation dont's

Recently someone I was talking to started off a conversation with this sentence:

"The other day I was watching a show about ice....."

O.K. If you EVER find yourself starting a conversation with "The other day I was watching a show about ice...." STOP. For the love of God, stop..

This is wrong on SO many levels.

1. You should not let people know that you actually had the time to watch a show about ice.

2. Say the word out loud to yourself "ice".. Does it sound like anything interesting can be said about ice? Unless it's a compound word like icepick, iceskate, icefishing, etc., Plus besides icepick even the words in that list are a stretch at the best.
