I used to love to go camping

A very sophisticated way of showing disinterest towards someone confiding something personal to you, and a deliberately poor attempt at relating, by being vague about similarities you can't or won't get into.

It's a direct quote from the character Walter White from Breaking Bad:

Hank has a drink with Walt and goes on a monologue about his old job of tagging trees to be cut down.

Hank says, “Tagging trees is a lot better than chasing monsters”. After a long pause Walt replies, “I used to love to go camping”.

Should only be used on e.g toxic people who traumadump on you, or people who've seen Breaking Bad way too much and will partly be in on the "joke".
Annoying person: So long story short, he kept cheating on me for 5 more years, and after all this mess I'm completely through with dating.

You: Yeah, I used to love to go camping.
