The Stop and Chat

retired_laticia3 · 11-29-2007, 10:50 PM

I don't mind stop and chats, as long as the other person isn't someone who will talk about the weather.
Everyone knows the weather is the 2nd worst form of conversation ever, bettered only by talking about peoples dreams. :thdn:

tbf I try to avoid stop and chats with most people. horrible horrible situations to be in.

worst one is if you see someone in a shop, or on your way out of a shop, say your goodbyes, and end up walking the same way down the street.

The weather is worse imo, think I'd rather have an awkward silence than resort to that ****.

Schoolboy error not waiting to see which way they're headed.

some people go so in depth about the weather it's quite embarrassing really.

I can just about cope with "oh it's a horrible day" or whatever, but when people start saying things like "they reckon it's gonna rain tomorrow" or "well, they've SAID it's gonna be fine this afternoon" is when it gets ridiculous.

Though a couple of times (with the person), they've been on the other side of the road (pretty much no other people around) and i've blanked them doing the old "oh, they mustn't have seen me" routine. Though i'm really not sure I got away with it

That should say "with the same person".

The ones who have no issue with a 'stop and chat' approche to life, clearly the people the rest of us are trying to avoid having to 'stop and chat' to.

I've found that constantly keeping my earphones in prevents any possible Stop and Chats.

This is what i do

Stop and Chats with an acquaintance are fs

I don't see the problem. "hi, how are you? what you up to? rah rah rah end conversation". Not much harm in that.

haha, reminds me of when you're walking down a corridor and the person in front holds door-after-door open for you.
