The Elevator Small Talk
The other day, I was stuck in an elevator with a guy who clearly hated silence. After a few seconds, he turned to me and said, “So, crazy weather we’re having, huh?”
I nodded politely and said, “Yeah, it’s been kind of unpredictable.”
He then proceeded to launch into a 10-minute rant about how the government is probably controlling the weather with satellites. He even said, “I bet that rainstorm last week was fake—did you notice how the raindrops didn’t feel real?”
I spent the rest of the elevator ride pretending to check my phone while praying the doors would open before he started explaining his theory on clouds being holograms.
