Small talk at its worst

You know what's awkward? When you don't really know someone that well, and you have ONE inside joke with them, and every single time you see them, you have to bust it out because you have nothing else to say to that person. Even if it's been 2 years or whatever since it happened, you have to mention it, because that is your one solitary experience with them.

"Heeey... this guy! Remember to check your pockets! Aahhh, you know what I'm talking about haha!"

It's always some stupid sentence like that. Then it's over. And you really start wishing you'd never stopped to talk to this person in the first place.

You've just used up your one inside joke together, from that one time you guys were hanging together because your mutual friend wasn't there and you were forced to talk. Now what? Well, now it's time for the awkard catch up session.

That's always a ball:

"So how's work?"

"I'm at school."

"Oh true! Just started?"

"This is my third year..."

"Oh that's right."

"......"

"So... you go to Uni huh. Do you know Junior?"

"Junior who?"

"I dunno his last name, but he's a big brown guy."

"Oh, the big brown guy named Junior at Uni?"

"Yeah!"

"Nah, don't know him."

"Oh, true."

"How come you ask?"

"Because I know him. And he goes to Uni. Like you."

"Oh yeah, true. Nah, don't know him."

"......"
