I always have the tendency to want to be sarcastic, and never been one who understood or cared much for most small talk.
A good example happened earlier today. I was at Walgreen's buying a few items, one of which was cat food.
So the cashier casual asks "Do you own a cat?"
Well that was a weird question to me. The first thing I'm thinking is, "Why does she need to even ask?" Is there some fucked up illegal use for cat food that somehow I just don't know about? If I'm wrong clue me in on this, but I highly doubt it.
So the first two answers that come do mind for me are:
"Of course I own a cat. Why the fuck would I be buying cat food otherwise?"
or be sarcastic and say, "no the cat food is for me" or even better "no, it's for my son, I put it in his sandwiches and he doesn't know the difference"
But of course, I'd be an asshole for saying that, and it's the closest store within walking distance, and I doubt they would ever treat me the same again if I responded with one of those answers, I bite my tounge and say slightly hesitantly,
"yes, I do own a cat, I ran out of food for him and he is getting hungry"
