Agreed, but that doesn't make it any less irritating.

It's annoying and stupid but deceptively easy. Stay away from the 'so what do you do for a living' stuff because most ppl don;t want to talk about work on their downtime. Throw in things like last book they read or movie and if you haven't seen it, ask them to give you a spoiler free rundown. then move onto crap like 'I'm new around here, any decent places to eat in the area' blah blah etc. and just watch for when they say something that excites them and ask follow up questions.
Mind numbing crap, but it'll keep them engaged.

It's handy because if you play your cards right you can have a superficial conversation with someone but leave them feeling like you had an absolutely riveting dialogue. With that said, I personally prefer the majority of my conversations to go as quickly as possible.

You know we have small talk, but I've never heard anybody say anything about big talk.

One thing people who are bad at it frequently don't understand is quite how low the standards are. You can talk about the most boring, inane shit and extroverts will eat it up.

Depends on the situation, but generally, no; I don't.

Hmm.....I loathe engaging in small talk with people I'm not genuinely interested in speaking with; this mostly pertains to colleagues (even bosses) and clients.

If I'm really interested in making an acquaintance and trying to give friendship a chance, I'm okay with it. Because then, it's not superficial. I'm earnestly trying to get to know the other person.

For the most part yeah. It's often the same mundane protocol that just bores me. I try and change things up now and then though if I'm generally interested in the person but that's very rare.

I'm just here because my body haaaaas to socialize for some reason, but apparently this forum crap counts so it's getting pretty efficient.

Depends on who's on the side of the conversation. There are boring people who can't hold a conversation, but a lot of people are reasonable enough once you find a good subject.
