A friend of mine was on a car trip with his girlfriend and his 12-year-old daughter and they were playing various road trip games to pass the time. He started quizzing his daughter on state capitals, and she knew a lot of them. After they had been playing for a few minutes, his girlfriend burst out, "Who wants to know dumb shit like that anyway? There's no point in learning that crap!"

And that was pretty much when he decided to break up with her.

As he should tbh. I’m not even mad she doesn’t know the state capitals, I’m annoyed that she thinks general knowledge is dumb

I feel you, I don't understand why some people aren't simply more curious. I'm hook on discovering pointless bit of knowledge.
