Well, maybe spend 2 minutes reading the weather before you go out then. Seriously I check the weather everyday. Although I rarely get the chance to use my weather knowledge. Most people seem to avoid talking to me unless they have to. Sometimes I'll sit on a park bench beside someone else and they'd pretend to read something intently and never say anything.

to me have a good one just is like saying have a nice day except it covers most things ,

what are you doing today,tonight,this week, next week...... regardless of what your doing have a good one!

as for the weather take a look out the window , its either dry and nice or rainy and miserable although i prefer the rain people dont usually accept that a nice quiet rainy day beats a noisy sunny one

Weirdly, I learned a lot of these from Spanish class:

How are you? : ¿Cómo estás?
Well, thank you. : Bien gracias. ¿Y tu?

Before Spanish class, I would always say "Okay" to "How are you". Now, if I'm in the mood for it, I might say "Okay, thank you. And you? How are you?" although sometimes I can't help but laugh at how funny I sound.

"Have a good one" makes me chuckle. I might just say "have a harmonious one" just to see what kind of reaction I get. Or, "have a fun one" because that kind of rhymes.

Can I help you at the local retro games shop I've been their before was she saying buy something or get out of my store ? I would have preferred if it was the latter that she just speak up and do so I wont take offense.

Seriously I've stumped her on occasion she knows I wear a Tomb Raider Underworld cap so why would I need "help" man I've caught her out on her lack of knowledge such as overcharging on certain games , at the other store (franchise) they admitted they put the wrong sticker price on some games , she did not budge, in my mind "whatever"

Than as I proceed to leave the store "see yay sweetie" kinda creepy a 20 year old girl telling a 35 year old male that their sweetie I think she was being patronizing ?

After 17 years my wife still opens phone conversations with me by saying "How's it going?"

It drives me nuts! Skip the pleasantries and get to the reason for the call. I'm going to see you in an hour and I'm not going to say "I'm in a pointless meeting with an as*hole who's wasting time that I could better spend teaching my cat to tap-dance. How's it going with you?"

Instead I always respond "fiiiiiiinnnneeee....what can I do for you?" and the dance continues

The other one that's like fingernails on a chalkboard is "bless you" when people sneeze. Do you really subscribe to the myth that evil spirits are being evicted from your nasal cavities and have to be blocked from re-entering the body? Perhaps I should keep vials of consecrated chicken blood handy and splash you with them when you flatulate. Even as a courtesy thing, it's messed up. I thank people through gritted teeth when they bless me (though on more than one occassion i've wanted to scream and yell "arrrrggghhh it burnsssss" or do my best evil demon voice and say "puny human...nothing will stop snotradaumus the unholy") and i try to pretend that I just didn't hear the sneeze from others. Though I do try to toss out the "bless you" when cornered. Damn you, Pavlov.

The "bless you" thing has always made me uncomfortable. And I'm never sure if I'm supposed to say "thank you" when someone blesses my sneeze or not. So I just kind of mumble something so they can think I did or pretend I didn't hear them. I mean really, such a fuss over a sneeze! Why don't we say "damn you!" when someone burps? It would make more sense.
