"Hi, how are you?"
"Hi, how are you?"

The two separate individuals continue walking past each other in opposite directions. Zero information exchanged.

I hate small talk.

    @gitlog nope it's simply I got it wrong.
    I know the word is "synchronize". When I studied the network course we always pronounced it as "sink" not "sin". That's why I thought the abbreviation has "C" at the end.

    it's not "hi, how are you?", it's "how high are you?"

    @bvs23bkv33 6'0" and 420 blaze it seem to be the two proper answers.

    @pk76 @torbuntu even so I too don't like it, I would not think negative about anyone doing this. It's just their way of trying to be friendly and polite, I mean everyone already knows the answer to "how are you", noone would say bad even if it was true

    @reij therein lies the problem and is exactly why it's fake. If they're only asking because they want the answer to be a certain thing, they don't care how you are doing, and therefore shouldn't be asking.

    And just think that I've seen the very same thing being done for two hours of meeting, just with a lot more words, all different, all beautiful, all meaningless.

    @BadFox I'll be quoting this 6'0" several times a day now. Thank you for your useful input.
