I've got a value, roughly equal to the GNP of Liberia, coagulated around my bedroom sink's plughole at the moment.

Typically, a conversation might start with something like " cold, isn't it?", or " nice weather for ducks", but it might not be particularly cold, and we probably don't care about the ducks.
Small talk sucks , I waste so much of my time listening to conversations that have no meaning and are going nowhere

I know. And what do people expect to hear from you when they ask "How are you?"? You have to say "Fine, and you?" They don't want you to say "Oh, I have depressions and I think there is a tumor growing inside me" They don't really want to know how you are. Let's stop this useless small talking in prefabricated phrases.
This is why I never go to the hairdresser.

Really? Who does your hair?
Various friends and family members! Luckily I have the world's most boring haircut.

The place where I hear the 'how are you' and 'fine' conversation is usually in a hospital waiting room.
I don't go to the hairdressers either, but that's cos they mostly asked where I was going on holiday this year and how many children have I got, every time I went.

Facebook knows how old I am and keeps putting up adverts for Equity Release Systems and Funerals.
I get ads for wrinkle cream and lipsuction 
As some sort of experiment one should give unexpected answers and see what happens.

What would happen would be that you wouldn't progress to bigger talk, and you wouldn't make so many friends. Small talk is very useful to get people talking, the problem is that some people continue it for too long, and it becomes inane chatter.
Adverts for Casino (unisex), bet in-play (men) and Bingo (women) websites. Every day I see one advertised that I've never heard of before...
The way the casino webites are advertised with high-elegance, and leggy women, when it's likely the guy is sat in his pants in his parent's basement, playing an occasional hand while XHamster videos are buffering.
The bingo websites are advertised as a 'big girls night out', but will actually be some lonely girl on a sofa in her dressing gown, scoffing-down an entire Vienetta, with tears running down her cheeks.

To reply: "Bad, The Mafia is on my back and I hear voices" instead of: "Thanks, I^m fine" can lead to even bigger talk.
There's one with cats. I know a lot of women like cats, but what on earth is the connection to bingo?
