I have good n bad days w/ that. Little Salvador bastard who seeks my approval like I'm his dad? Do my best to ignore him. Someone my own age or even 10 yrs younger (30) I might talk. I'd always say hi back to a skater though

Feel you guys on the small talk, I realized a while ago that basically one of the most important things you have in life is time and if you add up all the extra 45 secs you took to let some wanker finish whatever pointless thing he's saying and going about your business, needless to say if you let people ramble on you shit adds up, I guess kind of another thing when you are stuck somewhere with someone, still sucks though, I like the boldness of hates "goddamnit!"

This is one that is only getting to be more of a pet peeve as I get older:  I fucking hate small talk with people I don't know or barely ever see.  I've never liked it but I used to be more tolerant because I didn't want to come off as an asshole to people who generally just mean well and are being polite.  However, a couple weeks ago I was at the dentist, which is already a place that I hate and gives me anxiety and this dude just started talking to me while I was filling out the insurance forms.  "Hey, fall is in the air, right?" -no response.  "Does this mean a late or early winter?" -"I, uh, don't know."  Then I press the volume button on my phone to make it vibrate and act like I had a text to respond to. "Oh, you've got an Android?  I bet a lot of people are switching over from Apple because the new..."  "Goddamn it." and I got up and moved.  The dude looked totally dejected and like I just kicked his dog, but I couldn't do it anymore.  Just because we're in the same fucking office doesn't mean we have to shoot the shit.  I barely even take calls from my wife in the afternoon just because I know it's her telling me she's leaving work and it's going to turn into her telling me about her day during her drive home only for her to tell me the same story over dinner.
just put in earphones before you go to the dentist. no one will talk to you, and you can pretend not to hear them if they try....there were even a couple times i didn't have an mp3 player, but tucked the wire in to my shirt so i can keep skating, and not have to stop and listen to someone who gets on my nerves. one time i pretended i was deaf and faked some sign language so these little skatepark groupies wouldn't bother me.... they instantly bought it. it was so hard to not start laughing

this one dude that comes to my office at work when he needs something will raise his arms and, like, hang from the top of the doorway like he is some damn monkey. Put your damn arms down and tell me what you need and go the fuck away.

When people leave voice mails.
When you talk to people and they drone on and on, saying the same shit for 15 minutes straight. Conciseness, please. (N/A when you're talking to a friend who just went through a break-up or something equally emotionally distressing.)

When people state the obvious 'oh you skating?' When you're on board. 90% of words don't need to be said.

I work in an office and my desk was recently moved. I now face this dweeby goddamn guy with a stupid Bam goatee and these spindly gangly arms. He's always standing up and bouncing around talking loudly to the people around him, who are very clearly not into him. He's just such a goddamn peckerhead, it drives me crazy. He's the kind of person who thinks if he says whatever he just said louder, that it becomes funny.

I guess my pet peeve is people like that guy.

My wife does that and insists that keeps juuuuuuuuuuust a little bit of freshness in. That kind of thinking is one of the reasons I hit her (I don't hit her (I shake her))

I getchu on the small talk. Even when I run into people who I know, but am only gonna see for a few more minutes (line at a concert, in a store, etc) I just keep the talk super minimal. Maybe a "sup" and a smile. Sometimes I just try to make them not see me, so there's no obligation for a greeting.
And it's probably cause I'm still a kid, but I've never had a small talk experience like you did HATE. Someone just coming up to you speaking about something random like that? Das weird.

the freshness thing is bullshit. im convinced that the people who do it are just too fucking lazy to walk to the trash can and throw the plastic away.

I wish I wasn't this prejudiced, but if you have a dumb voice, or a minor speech impediment, chances are that I won't like you at all. It's one thing to accomodate someone who stutters or who has a lisp, but if your voice is particularly silly, chances are that I won't like you, period. This is particularly bad because I have the worst accent ever, a mishmash of two, and since my voice is quite deep, I end up having to talk with a higher pitch for people not to think I'm trying to stunt on them. So this sucks.
