Today, as an Uber driver, I thought I’d finally mastered small talk. I complimented a passenger’s perfume, asking what it was. She said it was her mom’s, who'd passed away recently. The silence that followed made me spend the rest of the ride saying ,“Uh-huh” to the GPS like it was a conversation. FML

Oh, man, how sad. Just FYI, sometimes people want to talk about their deceased loved ones. One could say, "Oh, sorry to hear that. I bet she was a lovely woman." and see if the rider responds.
