Real conversations:
___________________________________________________________________
Person 1: I need to get a new laptop.
Me: Okay, what kind are you going to get?
Person 1: I really want an IMac.
Me: Why?
Person 1: Because EVERYONE has an IMac!

Person 2: I NEED to have a pair of those gladiator sandals but they're so expensive!
Me: Why do you need to have gladiator sandals? Why don't you buy a pair of sandals that look better on your feet and cost half the price? (Insert confused face)
Person 2: But EVERYONE has gladiator sandals now, I just NEED to have a pair.

Ugh, I hate that. No one even BOTHERS to lie and try to make it seem like they actually want that product because THEY like it.
