I. an action that is generally pointless and will have no effect.
II. A discussion that is useless in the bigger picture and in which neither party is actually right, even thought both sides of the argument try to win every time.

I. washing your car before a thunderstorm is an exercise in futility

A belt that is too small to fit around your waist, even after sucking in and squeezing it around your super-fat love handles.
Rachel was going to wear that silver belt I lent her, but after struggling with it for ten minutes she decided that it was a futility belt and wore the brown one instead.

Trying to set somebody who's already straight straight is like trying to drive somebody who's already crazy crazy, it doesn't work.
Start by setting yourself straight and being concerned about your own life, its less futile than always trying to set the world straight. The people who try to set the most people straight are usually the people in most need of being set straight, since they usually never got set straight by their own fathers (or mothers) with an ass whooping every now and then.
