I answered, but there were several where it varies depending on the delivery and context? Like, if there's something leading up to "are you from around here originally?" and it's asked with neutral curiosity, that's one thing; if it's out of nowhere, that's another. If the person asks about my weekend in a friendly but perfunctory way, that's fine, but if they seem intensely interested in the answer or really dig into the details of something I'm cheerfully vague about, that's gonna make me twitchy.

I don't think I'd want to small talk while counting reps of painful PT, though, in any case.
