Any Tips on how to get better with conversation

Damn you. I work in a tower block with a really long and boring elevator ride. I just know that this idea is going to pop RIGHT back into my head next week and I'm going to have to fight not to do it! I bet at least one of them believes it and screams just because I am... No! Stop these thoughts!

I was in an elevator the other day and it got crowded. I was looking at the weight limit placard and said out loud 'I had a dream like this last night, that we exceeded the weight limit...' (I actually did have the dream). One of the last guys, a big one who got on, said jokingly 'I'm not that heavy!' and everyone laughed. :D
 
It really depends on who you're talking to and what the situation is. Personally, I feel like talking to people like that is boring and often wasted time, although I tend to tailor my personality to the person I'm around. One of the perks of conversation is that it's supposed to make friends. It's hard to be friends with someone who can't handle a couple of random statements. What's the fun in it if you can't have an original conversation? What's the use in it? Also, conversation is completely optional and the act of talking just to talk :grimacing: . . . need I say more?
