You Know What Grinds My Gears?

Not gonna lie, small talk in general pisses me off. Not trying to sound all anti-social because it's basically the key to meeting new people/building friendships, but essentially it's just having a conversation where you can predict everyone's answers, thus making it useless.

"Hey."
"Hey."
"What's up?"
"Ah, not much, you?"
"Yeah same."
"Cool. Pretty awesome weather we've been having lately eh?"
"YES! I was just thinking that! Way better than last week, that's for sure."
"Oh yeah, last week was brutal. Pretty much just rained the whole time, right?"
"Yeah."
"Yep... well... I should probably get going, I've got alot of studying to do with midterms coming up."
"Oh yeah me too. It's that time of the year again!" [Fake laughter]
[Fake laughter] "Yes it is!"
"Anyways, see ya later!"
"Alright, bye!"
[Grins on both people's faces disappear the moment they turn away]
