Wear headphones.

Too rude.

I avoid ever leaving home w/o them.  They're the only thing street people respect.

The worst is when ppl you dont know ask you that and you respond with the "fine, and yours? "  and they start telling you how their day/job/life sucks, etc.  Really awkward.

I've probably blogged about this before, but I hate when people ask me, "So how has your day been?" while in the middle or near the end of some type of commercial transaction.  Maybe it's a weird Texas Hospitality thing, but it makes no sense to ask me that as you're swiping my CSP and then giving me my card back and waiting for the receipt while I'm ready to grab my Mountain Dew Kick Start and Kickstart the day. Plus, you already asked me at the beginning how I was and I said, "good, and you?" and I didn't mind because that is the appropriate time to ask that type of question. When you ask me again, I want to say, "...still good," but I'm too fake polite (@Mrs. Gooch), so I have to say, "Not bad! Not bad... You?" "Oh it's been pretty good, you know, just working (this shitty job...)"

It doesn't bother me a ton, but it does feel really forced, and I wish they knew that they really don't need to put themselves through it for my sake.

I'm a very sociable person.  My go to for meeting strangers is asking about where they went to college and getting super enthusiastic about it.  "Ahh Pitt, huh? That Cathedral of learning building is a trip, huh?"

People generally liked their college experience and love talking about it.

Also,  I've made a concerted effort to laugh at people's jokes more.  I don't know what you guys are talking about how you're annoyed by people laughing at your jokes.  I think it's a very endearing quality.  I've remarked numerous times to numerous people that Stevesie60 is number 1 at it.

I don't think anybody complained about a person they know laughing at their jokes. Now if it's somebody that you meet for the very first time and they are over the top laughy and super smiley and excited and stuff then yeah, that person is more than likely a bad person.

And apparently a pretty privleged one at that. i mean, when the first question you ask someone new is what college they attended then i don't even

[Dr Rick Daris]

"oh hi nice to meet you. Say there, what part of the hamptons is your summer home in?"-dlew

[mocat]

yeah you can't just go around asking people what college they went to

[Dr Rick Daris]

"so what did you think about what munger had to say at last years convention"-dlew to his brand new next door neighbor in reference to the 2014 Berkshire Hathaway shareholders convention

[star seed 7]

It's probably ok if most of the people you meet are through law school

[Dr Rick Daris]

"yeah if someone isn't a lawyer, I'm not willing to meet them"-apparently dlew

Just recently, I was in a meeting at work with a woman who is like 60 and a 24 year-old woman who graduated from Harvard a couple of years ago. The older woman was talking about her nephew and how he's in his senior year of high school. The younger woman, innocently trying to make conversation, totally just blurted out, "Where is he going to college?" (He's not.)

OMG. I just remembered that the older woman (unintentionally) got her back on another day. We learned that some guy got engaged, fussed over that for a while, and then the older woman turns to the younger woman and says, "What about you? Any upcoming plans between you and your boyfriend?" It sort of put her on the spot and was a bit awkward and extremely WTF.

My takeaway is that people can be very entertaining even when they're not very interesting.
