I guess everybody just has a head full of cliched small talk responses that we just throw out. Like a poster earlier said, I am not even embarrassed by it anymore. I find it hilarious though that basically everybody is phoning it in when we make small talk with each other.
When I worked at a golf course I'd set people up for it Me- play well Golfer - you too Me - I'll try my best in here
I occasionally go with Person: "What's up?" Me: "Good!" I feel like the majority of socially awkward penguins were written specifically to make fun of me and me only
One of my good friends dad is from Louisiana and he always says "whatcha say?" instead of how are you or how have you been. I always respond with good, because I have nothing to say
the head boob one is awesome. Who doesn't remember the Hot lady cleaning your teeth when you were 14.
:) awesome. one time when I did this I'd already saved one with the same random letters, was really weird to get back to awkward small talk, I've definitely had this happen a few times: Them: How you doing? Me: Not much Another one I hate is when repeatedly ask the same thing. Like at my old job my boss would say something like "Whats up" or "Whats new" every time we walked past each other... by the 3rd and 4th time I've got nothing to say. I feel pretty weird just saying "not much" over and over again
This is why I am starting to just say people's names when I see them. You have to be the first to speak though. Me:(Walk by Jim) Jim (head nod)
I'm talking about those people you should know, but it's been fucking forever since you've seen them, and it takes a couple minutes for you to remember their names.
I go back and forth on my favorite between penguin, neutral dog, and bachelor frog. Have had to do this one before.
