Throwing pennies 

Yeah, you see what I'm talking about, right?
Hym "My social interactions serve no purpose other than to be reported on for later reference. Throwing pennies... Berating my manager for 5 straight minutes... I told a guy he was nothing. They'll let me get away with doing anything just to keep doing what they're doing. I mean, they'll placate me but it doesn't actually pay to engage with them. If they're not propping up some strawman or some reductio ad absurdum regarding the meta narrative of my life, they really don't have shit to say to me anyway."

Fogey/fogy /fougi/ sl. (early 18C+, orig. Scot) old-fashioned, stuck-in-the mud.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
