Why?
If a person can't answer that, that's when I go all "elitist" on them. Whenever I ask why they bought A instead of B, it's out of genuine curiosity. I do want to know, and it's an easy way to make conversation, particularly since I'm a geek in every way and love talking about computers and gadgets. You tell me why you like your toy, I'll tell you why I like mine, and then we compare notes and now we have something to talk about for hours.
Most of my "how can you not have thought about that at all?"-condescension comes from disappointment at being robbed of an interesting conversation.
