Small talk...

[Deonysios]

Is it really necessary? Do you feel you have to meet and greet people that you pass by on the streets or in a store? I usually go the entire day without speaking to anybody, not that I'm anti social or an outcast, I just don't speak unless spoken to. If I happen to make eye contact with somebody I give them the nod, that's about it. So I guess the question is, do people typically enjoy small talk or is it just something we do by nature?

[PsychoMistress]

I don't. People are so starved for attention and love in this society; small talk always ends up with me hearing someone's shitty life-story.

If eye-contact is made, I'll smile and say hello. Never say "how you doing" because stupid people will actually believe that you give a fuck and they will really tell you.

It's amazing how folks will open up to random strangers. I can't count the amount of people I've had to walk away from while hanging out in-between classes. They just come right over and start jabbering away. Jesus, go see a shrink.

small talk is never really necessary but sometimes its the polite thing to do. or if you wanna get to know someone better you need smalltalk. I find smalltalk is something i sometimes enjoy, not a nature thing, cause i don't wanna chat it up with every person who crosses my path, i generally dislike most people but i also have that personality where people enjoy my company cause i can make things interesting out of the most uninteresting situations..i think thats why alot of small talk convos start.

i hate small talk.

So I guess a smart person would ignore you and just keep walking? Why even ask if you don't give a fuck?

Small talk in NYC can only get you robbed. Goddamn pickpockets. SOOOO.....you now know where I stand when it comes to small talk.

[Z!M]

only if you feel like its a path to knowing someone. let them small talk for a bit and if they are dumb as fuck then just walk away. and psychmistress is right, in between classes it seems that the really desperate people all come out to talk to you, its anoying as all hell.

Can you make what you're trying to say a little clearer?

A ninja does not waste words.

I don't particularly care for small talk, but it doesn't annoy me or anything.. unless they're just rambling about inane bullshit, which makes me feel like rocket punching people.

[eddymasta]

Personally not a fan of small talk. I'm willing to do it and all, I just find it a tad bit annoying.

[Ne0phyte]

Generally speaking I don't care for small talk. But I don't have a lot of friends and sometimes get so starved for human interaction that I will talk anyone, including a stranger's ear off. I'll usually do the smile and wave thing, but usually not more unless I'm in a super good mood or have something that person might want to hear about.

I've had really good small talk... commenting on someone's appearance or talking about how boring class was. Small talk can be good for a laugh and some new knowledge.

[Jida]

Small talk? It fucking kills me.

[arcticninja]

I have no love for small talk, but sometimes it's appropriate. I just hate it when random strangers come up to me and try having a full blown conversation.

luckily, this doesn't happen nearly as much now that I drive everywhere.

[Shinto]

Small talk is over-rated, how bout flashing people instead.

[DropKick Murphy]

it depends. like when im eating by myself i really dont want to talk to anyone. This dude at wendys had me sitting there for like 30 minutes talking about why he was working there.

[Alzarath]

I've had old ladies talk to me about how burgers used to be back in the day, like really go into detail about how they were made, what they put on em, etc.

WTF... STFU YOU STUPID BITCH, FUCK YOU AND YO GODDAMN 1950 BURGERS, I JUST WANNA GET MY SHIT AND GO THE FUCK HOME

..Fuckin old people, I swear.

[Captain Ryu]

Can you make what you're trying to say a little clearer?

I don't know what to tell you if you can't understand what I was trying to say.

FUCK YO BURGA NIGGA :rofl:

[PsychoMistress]

Guess not, or you would have made it clearer to begin with to avoid confusion, huh?

You asked why would I ask if I don't give a fuck. I don't get that when I said "Never ask".

People ask to be polite. Folks don't really expect the person to actually go into detail about how they are doing. But, stupid people do it anyway, not realizing that the asker doesn't really give a fuck.

in montgomery small talk will keep u out of trouble.98% of montgomery are is fulled with ignortant niggas :wasted: i hate it here.

[Arsenal]

I think that small talk is mostly a female thing. Not being sexist, but I think there's a scientific study that concluded that women speak WAY more words per day than men. I'm not sure if this took into account professions, but still....

[EveryFlowerFlow]

hate that shit. especially when I have headphones in and people stop me in order to talk a whole lot about nothing

[Jida]

WTF... STFU YOU STUPID BITCH, FUCK YOU AND YO GODDAMN 1950 BURGERS, I JUST WANNA GET MY SHIT AND GO THE FUCK HOME

Uh oh..Time for a new sig...:rofl: :rofl:

This man speaks the truth. In NYC small talk is usually a sign that some shady shit is going to go down involving you.

[CoMpOuNd]

I don't care for small talk. Small talk is for rich people, I don't care for rich people.



breakdance?
word.

[Deonysios]

Funny thing is, I work in Grocery...sigh and I get alot of old people coming to me asking about ingredients and how "Down home" their cooking is. I do what most of us do, shake my head and say "yes, ma'am. Uh-huh..." Old people really lead on how lonely they really are.

[Captain Ryu]

You asked why would I ask if I don't give a fuck. I don't get that when I said "Never ask".

People ask to be polite. Folks don't really expect the person to actually go into detail about how they are doing. But, stupid people do it anyway, not realizing that the asker doesn't really give a fuck.

I understand what you mean. I thought you just meant when they say good or ok after asking how they were doing. I was like whats so bad about that? Now that you went into detail I know what you mean.

Btw I knew you said you never ask but I was just asking in general why it would be bad to respond to a question like "how are you". Anyway, yeah I got your point lol.

[Septimus Prime]

I will most certainly small talk. Being personable is the key to winning in life.
