Author Chuck Palahniuk first came up with the idea for the novel after being beaten up on a camping trip when he complained to some nearby campers about the noise of their radio. When he returned to work, he was fascinated to find that nobody would mention or acknowledge his injuries, instead saying such commonplace things as "How was your weekend?" Palahniuk concluded that the reason people reacted this way was because if they asked him what had happened, a degree of personal interaction would be necessary, and his workmates simply didn't care enough to connect with him on a personal level. It was his fascination with this societal 'blocking' which became the foundation for the novel.

Holy cow...

    actual reason: he propositioned one of them, likely someone's son. you don't get beaten up for asking to turn the music down on a camping trip.

      Usually depends on the skin color of the campers and how drunk or drugged they are.

          Not Black folk. Lots of campsites aren't that remote and they get lots of Mexican partiers.

    (at around 34 mins) When The Narrator hits Tyler Durden in the ear, Edward Norton actually did hit Brad Pitt in the ear. He was originally going to fake hit him, but before the scene, David Fincher pulled Norton aside and told him to hit him in the ear. After Norton hit him in the scene, you can see him smiling and laughing while Pitt is hurting and swearing.

    What a fricking psycho.

    actual reason no one wanted to "connect" with him: everyone knew he was gay and no one likes homosexuals, especially ugly homosexuals.

      American Psycho, The Matrix, Fight Club... all done by homosexuals.

        the wachowskis stole the entire plot of the matrix from a comic book, so any 'gay' shit they have tried to spin it into is 100% bullshit

          No they didn't and even if they did the comic in question was also written by a gay, so completely irrelevent

          the invisibles has basically nothing in common with the matrix. at least not till the fourth movie, where they did lift the idea of packaging and selling the memories of breaking free and engaging in righteous rebellion, to diffuse rebellious sentiment.

    The three police officers that try to cut off the narrator's testicles are credited as Officer Andrew, Officer Kevin and Officer Walker. Andrew Kevin Walker is the screenwriter who wrote Se7en (1995) and 8MM (1999). He also worked uncredited on David Fincher's The Game (1997) and on one of the drafts of Fight Club (1999). However, his contribution to the Fight Club script was not enough to warrant a credit by current WGA rules. Director David Fincher named the officers Andrew, Kevin and Walker, as a way of surreptitiously giving Walker a credit.

    also its funny how hard it is to find an image of the average gay man. even yandex returns beatific/ideal men (and mostly just gay porn) if you try to find an image of the average homosexual.

    Possibly. Or maybe work acquaintances don't know you well enough to feel like they can safely predict how you'd react to such questioning. Maybe they just don't want to make you feel uncomfortable or embarrassed, or get a response of "sorry, that's too personal" thereby making the questioner feel awkward.

    How can anyone be bothered by loud music on a camping trip. If you're camping next to a campsite parking lot you don't get to complain that you didn't get pristine nature experience. Just hike out for 30 mins and you'll have more space for yourself than you'll know what to do with.

    Or maybe because his coworkers knew he was a weird homosexual and they didn't want to have anything to do with his weird homosexual lifestyle.
