When people say something just for the sake of saying something...
When people feel they have no chance to find common interest with their speaking partner...
... they always talk about the weather.
And the Hungarian attitude goes like this:
"Ohh in summer you wish it was cooler
And in winter you wish it was milder
Conditions - they are never in your favour"
I completely agree with this statement, and must admit that this video -as illustration- is a masterpiece. It is indeed, that people always talk about the weather but I think it has some good features as well. Breaking the ice is not always easy, and I'm quite sure that there are people with whom we are glad just to talk about the weather and nothing else. So it is a good way of not being rude or impolite but dealing wiht people in an open-minded way.
