small talk (1 Viewer)

not a bad day for it at all at all at all.



i've to do a lot of small talk in work.
don't like it though.

the thing that annoys me the most is the way some older irish women say "yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah".
it's the way it's done that bothers me. there's a continual inhalation of breath as they're saying "yeh" about seven times in a row. so it's like "yeah-yih-yih-yih-yih-yih".

does that make sense? anyway, does my head in.
 
Thanks to my many years on Thumped, I have now transcended
small talk and can now babble on about my own opinions until the
other person leaves. Thanks, Thumped.
 
yeah, but whats the alternative to small talk? telling the truth?

someone else: mornin, how are things?
you: not great, had an awful itchy mickey. kept me up the whole night. the doc told me to stop pullin it when it went raw red but I didn't listen. On top of that me shite went a curious shade of green and smelt twice as rancid as normal. How are you?
 
"watch the match last night?"
"nope. had a marathon tantric wanking session to the girls of ryanair calender after a go off me crack pipe. was bleeding like a black pudding after. cold innit?"
 
sometimes it's worth telling people how things are really going just to see their faces drop and their eyes dart about for a reason to escape.
 
"good christmas?"
"ya, shure the break is great."
"tis. settling back in?"
"just about!"

x 19 (so far...)
