My two favorites have to be.. 

"Back in a minute" and "Hang on a sec"

My daughter has just gone to pick Leelah up from playgroup.. as she left she said "back in a minute" it's at least 20 minutes there and 30 minutes back with Leelah jumping in every puddle.. xD

"I have read the Terms & Conditions".

 

Seriously though, "How are you?" - "I'm fine" is probably the biggest lie and the most pointless conversation ever. In fact most of small talk/common courtesy is...

At least when I say that to people I do it with some conviction, as if I actually mean it... if the missus seems a bit down I ask her how she is and it's followed by the normal "I'm fine" but it's cold and curt then it's normally followed up very quickly with "just hunky dory" and that little bit clues you up to the real situation.. xD

"I'm fine" when someone asks "how are you", because you don't want to bother anyone with your problems, and you hate small-talk. At least in my case xD

Oder "Zwei Blöde, ein Gedanke" :P

 

But yea, if you pass someone in the streets you just don't start talking about what's bothering you. I know a guy, when I meet him in the streets he starts talking about his family, his girlfriend, his flat or all that kind of stuff even though I didn't even ask anything. That's how I developed a great vision for what people I might run into from afar, so I can always correct the course and turn into another street or some alley. Or when I meet someone like that in a supermarket, I always stay in the last row of the supermarket until that person is at the checkout. Sometimes that makes my shopping trip 10-15 Minutes longer, but I successfully avoided small-talk, so it's still a win in my book :D

If this happens where I see someone I may know but don't want to chat, it's where the phone comes out and there's a fake phone call or I pretend to be so engrossed in my phone and not notice them as I walk past them.

May sound rude but sometimes you just really can't be arsed to chat with people.

My missus in bed.

"Not tonight babe, I'm tired"

Then spends the next half hour on her phone Facebooking, Twittering and Instagraming.

Good one love. You could have done that for 28 minutes and let me have my 2 minutes at least.

Was believable until you said 2 minutes. 

Think a lot of yourself with generous thinking like that ;)

You are my hero. I bow to your sexual prowess and endurance. That's at least 6 times for me.

Don't do a fake phonecall as knowing my luck I'll forget it's on sound and get a call but I do the fake texting when I can't be arsed.

Wait, there are people who actually have their phones on sound? Astounding :o
