    When I say Casual small talk conversations I mean with non-friend co workers. Cashier’s, barista. Someone in an elevator with you, Etc.

    It’s definitely considered rude to bring up religion or politics with random people in casual small talk conversations.

    Typically the weather is a go-to topic for such situations if small talk is needed.

      I agree that it’s rude, but it didn’t stop a family member’s neighbor from asking a minute into having first met them on the street before I could ring my relative’s doorbell. 🤷‍♀️
