You're kinda confirming my pet theory that the "I don't do small talk" people are all cunts
I'm in the "no small talk" camp. I at least try to not be a cunt at first. But I have no problems firing back.
I imagine many people in the group though just really don't want to be bothered and being sharp with someone is usually a fast way to end that bother. They may not be cunts on the regular, they may just not want to be involved with the other person.
I agree that the other person was being cunty though. That condescending "sweet summer w/e" shit is rude af unless it's done to be silly.
Some people make it into a personality trait, definitely.
