"Hey!"
"Hey, how are you?"
"Good! How are you?"
"Good! Okay, see you!"

I fucking hate these conversations. They happen to me every day, and I feel like they are a waste of my life. Are they even remotely necessary? I think an ideal acquaintanceship would either 1. Make brief but interesting conversation or 2. Simply provide a nod and keep on walkin'.

What if we have word quotas? What if I am allocated only x amount of words in my lifetime, and I needed those 4 words to say, "PLEASE SAVE MY LIFE!" ?? I will have died because my quota ran out, words wasted on a conversation we won't even remember 3.2 minutes after its conclusion.

I beg of you: if you don't have anything interesting to say to me, don't say anything at all. MURDERER.
