I have to pretend to be neurotypical* this weekend

I have to pretend to be neurotypical* this weekend.

Sometimes it's a fun game where you throw in random questions because you know people will like it:

- How are you getting on with your job?
- Didn't you go away recently?
- Did you see that thing that's big on Netflix at the moment?

Usually they then start talking about a thing and I can nod and smile and occasionally repeat back what they've said.

"Oh yeah, so expensive.... all the time, yeah! ... Greece in September... She had a potato up there?!"

A few times yesterday I had people say, "nice to see you again!" and my brain wanted to say, "who the fuck are you?" because I don't remember them in the slightest. Today will be a fun day though.

Feel free to suggest other top quality neurotypical questions I can use to make small talk with people I will probably never see again!
