Default Re: I dont understand casual conversation

With this question it can either be a terrible bore for both parties, or a genuine conversation with empathy.

What's really funny is when people ask you questions like this that seem either like they might be displays of sincere interest on the one hand or at least like they require an answer, and then walk out of the room, even sometimes shutting the door behind them, before you can give an answer.

This has the bizarre effect of demeaning both parties at once.

One day someone's going to do that to me and I'm going to e-mail my answer to them.
