    I like it. Sometimes small talk can lead to something else a bit more substantial and so on. Plus a little chat is harmless.

    People who have a lot to hide, dont like it coz the casual feel makes them slip sometimes.

    You can learn things about a person during small talk, small things and flags of bigger issues sometimes or good things

    I think it's stupid. I want it straight to the point. And I'm really bad at it. I try to continue the small talk but I just end up saying, "Get to the point already." and then, they'll think I'm too serious.

    A necessary tedium dictated by society to appear polite when no one really wants to talk.
