    My response was mostly a joke, but now that you mention it, I relate with you more than you might expect.

    Years in retail and sales helped me develop my “work face” which includes a list of go-to responses for the random bullshit people say every day.

      I feel you there bud, I’m lucky I enjoy animal fact videos as a side screen thing so I can usually use that as a conversation piece if needed. Customer service jobs really helped me be able to put on a face.
