People talking to each other about their lives and their interests! Success!

I was thinking more like two people each trying to get the other person to do that, like people at a door getting jammed saying "After you," "After you," etc.

All the times this has happened to me, one person would come up with a Schelling-pointy reason why the other person's recent life was more interesting (e.g. they had just come back from a trip abroad or something).

I have never actually seen this happen, and I use that method all the time. I don't have an explanation for why, since I rarely think about problems I don't have.
