I've realised that people prefer it if I start with pleasantries, not just going straight to the point of what I want to say.
e.g. just now I went to get my recycling bin after it had been emptied. At least I thought it was my bin. I saw my neighbour getting into his car so I called 'is this my bin?' He looked blankly at me and said, 'hello, how are you? Haven't seen you for a while.' I was confused, I needed to know if that bin was mine or his. He was confused because he hadn't seen me for a while and wanted to say hello, not talk about bins.
Then it dawned on me, ta dahhhhhhhhhh! I should have said 'hello how are you?' Before launching into the questions about the bin.
I like to get straight to the point, never mind chit chat. Most humans prefer the chit chat first.
I hope this has been helpful
I don't mind pleasantries, but whenever others talk; they rip the backside of a conversation.
My uncle tries to explain things to me by taking the conversation for a walk. Whenever I get the point, he's saying, "Woah, woah! Take your time!"
Women are even worse, because they get all emotional and say, "I think the world of ye!" Their life evolves around TV, Drinking, Smoking, Eating and Talking.
you forgot to mention sex
