The annoying thing is that they’ve all memorized the exact same expressions, and run out of new stuff to small-talk about after 30 seconds. Then they just go into loops until the oxygen is exhausted from the room and they all pass out.
Sometimes you need that small talk to get to the BIG talk. Or, just maybe, small talk is just reserved for acquaintances and BIG talk is reserved for close friends? By George, I think that might just be it.
In addition to the ‘close talker’ and the ‘high talker’, Seinfeld could have had the ‘small talker’. Just have him speak in short phrases and then leave the scene.

If there is one thing I’m not good at it’s nonsense chatter. Ugh!

Got to do the small talk to lead into more meaningful discussions. Bypass it, and you you come across as too aggressive (or just plain weird).

Punch and cookies in the church hall, right after services.
