"Small talks" are the reason why most of my neighbors think I'm crabby and unfriendly. If I'm locked in the elevator with someone, I don't need to know how is the f***ing weather!!! I just came from the street for Godiva sake! If you don't really have anything to tell can you just keep silent for the 30 SECONDS that last the elevator's trip??!! ugh... ¬_¬
So that's why I need to look 'unfriendly', for keeping these people who love 'small talks' away from me :P Sorry if i'm grumpy but... I'm just trying to survive!!
(；一_一)
Here I want to ask you not to be a 'small talk' victim!!
If someone starts a convo asking "What's up", you can reply:
1) - The ceiling (a classic --I couldn't help it!) or
2) - Start a cool convo! Reply talkin' about aliens, black holes, theory of relativity... anything cool/crazy/interesting! ...Let's make 'small talkers' feel lot of regret for asking! muahaha! >:D
Now you can share here your 'small talk' experiences if you want. Or just to tell anything you feel like! but please... don't start a small talk! ¬_¬
Thanks for reading.

Mary :D It supposed that they are happy for me and congratulate me that everything is well but now you make me think that I am a dog, thank you very much :P
P.S. The amount of money that I tell them that I take is more than I really take, hehehe :D. And this because I know they are gossipers and I don't like them to know things about me.
P.P.S. Thanks for offering your help, I will have it in my mind ;)

Danny, it's good to know that being atheistic gives me 'points' for being in your list of 'people who you like so you won't get mad at'. It's the first time I can get advantage of my non-believer conditon :D
I've seen stuff like the one you explain here in American movies: Someone who moves to a new neighborhood and the neighbors knocking at the door and greeting the new neighbor with cakes or cookies and sometimes mentioning the church stuff. For me it's kind of funny 'cause I'm living in a country with a more deep and old Catholic tradition, but here nobody really cares who goes or not to the church on Sunday, not even in small villages.
Btw I'm very flattered to read that I can inspire you, I really appreciate your nice words. But why to be the 'support band' when I can be the main star? :P :D
So you can stop playing the melodrama!
Thanks again for your comment ;)
Estanis, I also like that kind of greetings but that's more related to a good manners protocol than an 'annoying' trivial talk to 'fill' a silence :P
About your last 'question': Nope. But just 'cause I'm too lazy to talk. I wish I could communicate just with noises...
Thanks for dropping by! :)
Elen! They even ask you about money?? And cheer you as if you were a trained dog making a trick??? :/
Thanks for dropping by :)
Well, I have been many times in a friendly company where there weren't many things to say than "how is it going" "what's news" "what's up" and it was a little weird but some times small talks are a good start for interesting conversations. :P
What I feel really annoying and feel myself like victim is when neighbors see me in the street and ask me how I am, how it is going with my work and how much money I take. Then they are like, bravo Elen bravo, and they smile. Pff... gossipers...
Yeah... old classic hotel lifts music are missing hehe...
I don't mind being asked or greeted in entrance hall, street or elevators... I just consider it as a polite act and I'm free to go along with the person or not.
Anyway I don't wanna be the party pooper here :D
I wonder if you ever put into practice point two.
later I will tell my point of view on this topic, dear.. :P
moonlight, you're right, in a village you can find lot of 'small talkers'! I'm sorry for you :((
Thanks for dropping by!
Danny, first of all, I'm sorry for your loss. I knew you lost a friend but I didn't know it was just few months ago (I thought it happened long time ago)
Yes, you're right, this kind of situations are even worse in a small village/town. As you say, people usually don't give a damn and most of the time they just want to 'gossip' later and that pisses me off too.
I understand your anger in that situation, but I'd never have imagined you were the crubby or 'rebel' neighbor! I didn't know you had that 'bad temper' side, so it's good to know I shouldn't annoy you that much, haha...
Thanks for you comment and sharing your experience with us.
✿HONEY_BÉÉ✿ I vote for that! ;)
Ada that's so cute :)
Books are good for EVERYTHING! ^_^
Thanks for your nice words.
Risty, sometimes you scare me XD
A7 don't be ever afraid of doing/saying anything stupid, you couldn't do it even if you tried hard ;)
Btw, it's right I'm 'allergic' to ppl's stupidity but I can't say I have not done myself lot of stupid things so... I'm guilty too :(
Mishaikh, erm... dunno :/
AG, well I dunno if someone else used that term before --'small talk victim'; probably someone did but anyway, I'm glad you like.
"I have a hobby of knowing about what's making you upset more, just to be the reason of it"--- erm... okayyy... How nice of you... :/// But I suggest you not to play with fire :P
Thanks for dropping by
Mary :)
you have your distinct way of defining things.. I like the definition "Small Talk" Victim, as if it's the first time I hear it...
Well.. you know what, Mary!!! I've found out recently that I have a hobby of knowing about what's making you upset more, just to be the reason of it :P :D
Be ready, Mary :D
interesting :)
Hmm!
Is there any smaller than this?
I'm scared of #1. Always. I know how you're allergic to stupidity. That "Whoa" face is an oxymoron. Keep up the good work. Gods of sarcasm are proud of ya. =]
I'm in?
