Just what is the bloody etiquette for small talk at work and over the fence? How many times a day do I have to talk about the weather or field questions about my state of well-being before I can just answer with a "F**k off!"
Take our neighbour and her new found love for gardening along the fence line. I have nothing against her but I really don't care if it looks like rain or not. Nor do I give monkeys if weeds are a real problem this year. What I want to say is that small talk leaves me weary and is possibly even damaging my health. In fact I'd like to have a Doctor's note excusing me from making any small talk at all. That way I can drink my morning cuppa in peace and not have to hear about your Grandkids, or dog, or your golf score or anybloodything.
In fact, I'd like that note to excuse me from any social interaction except footy games, fishing, pubs and lap dancers. That way I could legitimately avoid Christmas, shopping centres and work in general. Furthermore I wouldn't have to watch the weather report or Dancing With The Stars just to feel included.
By the way, for the most up to date and accurate weather report in your area, see my neighbour.
