In The Beginning!

Here is the beginning (give or take some word/phrase variations) of about five billion IM conversations:

PersonA: hey
PersonB: hello
PersonA: whatsup?
PersonB: nothing much...
PersonA: cool
PersonB: u?
PersonA: same...
PersonB: cool.

It doesn't matter if their house in on fire, "nothing much" is ALWAYS up when you start a conversation.

Then comes the awkward silence until someone says something like:

PersonA: So, you have any plans this weekend?

or:

PersonB: God, my mom is all in my face about some bs

or my personal favorite:

PersonA: check out my new post on my site: CLICK.

That PersonA is a douche.
