There is one conversation topic that one can always talk about, and will almost certainly will: the weather. It seems, interesting to me, that this is the one topic that is not controversial. And often times, it is a good ice breaker. When you got nothing else to talk about, talk about the weather. Why is that? Perhaps we can’t argue about what the weather is like, ie it’s a storm, it’s sunny, it’s rainy, etc. But we can disagree on whether or not one enjoys the weather as oppose to detest it. Some people prefer rainy days over snowy days, other enjoy sun, etc. I guess talking about the weather is a neutral act. Neither will you offend someone or be offend when commenting on the weather.
Nice weather we’re having, eh?
