I just got off the phone with my friend who was at the Phillies game and after the usual greetings, it's just an awkward 5-second silence. I'm thinking, "Dude, you called me, obviously you had something to say... out with it!"
The conversation went roughly like this:
*ring*
Me: Hello?
Him: Hey.
*awkward silence*
Me: What's up?
Him: Nothing.
Me: You on your way back from Philly?
Him: Yeah.
*awkward silence*
Me: So... did you have a good time?
Him: Yeah.
*awkward silence*
Me: Shame the way that game ended.
Him: Yeah.
Me: Durbin sucks.
Him: Yeah, he got two outs and then imploded.
*awkward silence*
Him: Well, I'll give you a call back later.
Me: Uh... okay.
Right now, I just want to punch him for being an awful conversationalist.
