Shop talk & small talk

Daily writing prompt
What topics do you like to discuss?

Politics, but only if you’re on the same side as I am.

Food, recipes, restaurants…I love seeing what other people are eating.

My childhood.

Books and tv shows that others have also read and watched. Really into The Voice at the moment. Michael Buble is so funny. And Canadian.

My aging and stubborn parents.

Sid, naturally.

Shop talk, when I’m outside of work. I like getting my coworkers opinions and readings on the goings-on at work, when we’re not at work. I find you can get a more human, less reserved and less filtered take on things the minute you step off the property.

What I really dislike talking about? Small talk. Can’t do it. Nope. No way. I will default to the weather everytime and that’s all I will discuss. For thirty minutes if I have to. The weather today, the weather yesterday, the weather a year ago, the weather next week. It’s terrible.

  1. Beautiful photo, and I absolutely agree with the small talk thing.
    If someone can’t hold a good conversation in person, and it’s an awkward small talk thing – I just can’t do it! lol.

      Ikr?! Some people are so gifted with the small talk thing but I’m not one of them!

      1. Same here! 🙂 I like to talk and if someone isn’t able to talk about anything and everything – it’s just awkward to me. lol.

  2. I think the thing about weather as a go-to small-talk topic is that everybody has an opinion about it (which we cant even say about politics)
