Annoyingly typical office conversation:

Person 1: "Good morning."
Person 2: "Good morning, how are you?"
Person 1: "Good. How are you?"
Person 2: "Good."
Person 1: "Good."

NO! Not good, fuckers. I hear this all day long, come up with something real or original. Talk about the massive shit you just took, or how hard you're taking the news about Diablo Immortal. It reminds me of that scene in Office Space with the repetitive call center lady, lol.

    I despise small talk and the expectation of providing an answer that will make the other person feel good. Instead, I usually just shrug or say "Meh" whenever anybody asks in passing. I might also respond with my physical state like, "cold" or "wet" depending on the weather.

    I experiment with new phrases now and then.
    It was "Well Enough" last week, "better now that you are with me" , "Do you care?", "Can't complain. Nobody listens to me anyway", "So far, so good!" and "Standard" before that.

    I do that to finish the talk as fast as possible.

    I hate taking to people so if that’s all I have to hear, that’s fine. If we don’t say anything passing by that’s even better. People = shit.

    Cheat codes: be up front about how shit small talk is, while still being polite. My favorite choice is "same old, same old"

    At work I'm constant interrupted to give someone a fist bump. On the phone? Gimme a fist bump. Writing something down? 🤜🏽 OBVIOUSLY FRIGGIN BUSY?? 🤜🏽 Then I'm asked "So you're good?" Incessantly throughout the day. I work in small talk, micro interaction hell.

    Too tired to comment, but I usually respond similar to @csizemore or @Charon92.

    @SauceBoss If it's so important to be concise and get on with your day, why should we have to put up with the interruption in the first place? Nobody gets anything out of it.

    At least they replied to the "good morning". Unlike those who walk pass you like they're trees and pretend they didn't hear you.

    I tend to mention whatever is bothering me to such questions. Makes me probably sound like I complain a lot.
