Personally I think that small talk is also regional. Some places small talk might be discouraged at a store while other places it might be encouraged. The same might be for the subway, a restaurant, the bathroom, etc, depending on the country or culture it may be totally ok or exceptionally discouraged.

I really fucking hope there isn't a place on earth where smalltalk on public transit is encouraged.

I love how the guy casually mentions the bathroom but public transport is the one that got you lmao

That's exactly how my wife and I do things.

This poor individual has never been in a lasting relationship.

If you can’t talk, in full, with your partner such that you somehow need small talk, that’s not a relationship, it’s a one night stand that happens to last for 3 months to a year.

As other people in this thread have said, it's usually more about the person than it is the topic. I'm happy to hear my wife talk about the weather tomorrow but if the guy behind me in line at the store does it I'm answering in grunts and annoyed expressions.

How do people who don't like the color chartreuse expect to color things? Chartreuse is my favorite color!

Absofuckinglutely. This is what I do, and what she does, though our methods of exploration vary.

Breathe, son.

Some people view certain talk as smalltalk but im always up to know about the weather or bad traffic or anything I can avoid or indulge in if I can.
