To this day I don't know why people ask me “Is it cold enough for me?”. Do they really want me to respond or are they trying to make conversation? It still makes me go HMMM. Thanks for watching!
I think people just like to make small talk and don't know what else to say. You want to be polite when you see them. But Let's face it, how much do we know about our mail carriers? I know mine is a chain smoking, psychotic drunk who complains about the location of my mailbox (which by the way is where he requested to have it moved) and enjoys karaoke, except when he doesn't win the contest and throws a fit...... I don't usually make small talk with him anymore.
no. its like the people i see day in day out bitching about how cold it is, that in summer bitch about how hot it is. like the world needs to be tepid for them
gee - when I took SOC 101, I heard asking the inane question on a continual basis to point out someone else's discomfort was a mandatory social courtesy. Apparently this prof reached many. (you don't want to ask me what I think about "how are you?" when people are just passing each other in a hallway)
Hmmm...good question. I think most of them must be trying to relate to you, or sort of show empathy or something. It's strange, though, and as you're walking around freezing, it's probably not what you want to hear...
What bugs me is the folk who say "I am SO SICK of the snow already" when it has only snowed one day, and all we got was an inch. Go figure. If you want 70s and sunny, move to Florida. 'Nuff said. ;)

If you live in the south they ask you, "Is it hot enough for ya?" Go figure. LOL!
