I think no matter what we do most of the things are outoff our control

I love small talk. It's just noises that communicate emotion or very basic information, and it has a script!

Yeah, that depends what you mean by small talk. I think you know what you mean, but I'm not sure that we know what you mean.

I wish I knew why small talk is important and why the example in the post is a problem. It would be helpful if someone could explain it.

Small talk stinks
Small talk stinks
See the young man in his new gown
Talking up to his bouffant drag
He says he loves you with flowers
Something that he's never had
A sentence should be like a serpent
Quick with a sting in its tail
        -bauhaus, Small Talk Stinks
