This actually happened to me today.

I was at a swimming pool, wearing a Chicago Cubs hat (and a swimsuit of course). A woman I don't know asked, "Do you think they'll go all the way?" I said I hoped so but was used to disappointment. She said basically this: "I hope they don't go all the way while Obama is still in office."

WTF X infinity is wrong with these people? It was hard not to blow up in her face.
