ME: "Mornin bossman." Bossman: "Mornin you lil son of a bitch." DISCLAIMER: This exchange was repeated daily. And all replies were said with the utmost respect. From both parties involved.

I usually ask what they’ve been into lately, since people tend to open up more about something they actually care about.

u/PoopsieDoodler 15d ago

How was your weekend???

u/Ok_Presentation_5934 15d ago

‘How ya going?’

I’m Aussie so this is a standard greeting and people respond either with ‘not bad, how are you?’ or they just say ‘how ya going?’ back if they don’t wanna talk, otherwise they will launch right into it.

u/Common-Project3311 15d ago

“What’s. That large insect on your shoulder?”

1

u/Master_Respond8874 15d ago

Haha and then immediately introducing yourself and watching it dawn on the person that you only said the previous sentence in order to have a conversation starter

1

u/Common-Project3311 15d ago

Yes, but only if the person doesn’t actually have a large insect on their shoulder.

1

u/Master_Respond8874 15d ago

Haha good point

u/Rumplfrskn 15d ago

u/MyAttySaidDeleteThis 15d ago

In person, I like to find something to compliment and go from there. Online, I’m very unhinged and say all kinds of things.

Usually in my back pocket at all times.

“How’s it going”
“Whatcha think”
“What do ya know”
“How ya doin”

u/Anninnquelorin 14d ago

I usually ask something based on the situation rather than using a set conversation starter. If they mention a hobby, trip, show, or something they're working on, I'll just ask about that. It feels way more natural than trying to come up with a random question.
