Ask HN: Am I anti-fun for not liking Nerf guns

Depends on the context. If you're (as I suspect) talking about not liking playing with Nerf guns yourself or not appreciating people using them around in you a professional environment, not at all. If you're walking around complaining about children playing with Nerf guns, maybe just a little.

No, you're an adult. I don't personally know anyone that's been into Nerf since the mid 90's.

Nerf guns are a rather narrow definition of fun.

Context is pretty important here and we have none.<p>But if you don&#x27;t like it in an office setting that might be understandable depending on circumstances.<p>The proper response might be .... to shoot the perpetrators with some sort of foam flinging weapon...<p>I like the easily concealed &quot;jolt&quot;. Walk by a cube, one shot to the back of the head like a professional does it and you just keep walking.

Nerf guns in the office is the worst, I don&#x27;t understand what&#x27;s the obsession with nerf guns in &quot;start-up&quot;s. It&#x27;s incredibly distracting and sometimes dangerous, everybody just abuses it and list it as a &quot;perk&quot; to attract frat boys to work for their company.

In an office, fuck off, no.<p>At home? I have a cat that loves chasing nerf darts. I&#x27;d raise an eyebrow with you if you questioned my owning one or two. It&#x27;s just too damn funny to watch the cat go nuts and then look at me like I&#x27;m the bad guy when the dart stops moving.

Just play along. Do you want to be rejected for being a bad cultural-fit?
