I've rarely met a topic I didn't like. By that I mean, if I've heard of it, I generally have an opinion. I used to think that everybody had an opinion on everything and that false modesty kept them quiet. It took me a while to figure out that I was sadly mistaken. Evidently, most people don't give much thought to everyday life (much less its minutiae).
Minor example: pretty much everybody goes to the grocery store/supermarket/drug store every now and then. You get a cart, navigate the aisles, select your merchandise, etc. Everybody knows that (even if you're shopping at 2 a.m.) you don't have the store to yourself. Why then do people universally shop on one side of the aisle and have their cart directly across from them on the other? Invariably another shopper's going to come along and need to get by them. Shopper 1 (if s/he has a modicum of decency) then looks flustered, apologizes and moves the offending cart. Newsflash: why not have your cart and your body on the same side of the aisle? Hmmm???? Then you can stare undistractedly at the same canned vegetables (or feminine hygiene supplies) for an indeterminate length of time without interruption. Oh, yeah, that's right; that would require some forethought!
