you could be seen as that person who only talks to ask for a favor (wherever it is real or not).
If you are this way you’ll be perceived as such regardless of if you do small talk first. I have a relative that only ever talks to me if they want something and it’s fucking annoying to wait for the shoe to drop when they try to chit chat beforehand. Just get to the point if that’s all you really care about.

Indeed. I meant some people confuse being direct with being rude and uninterested in the other person.
I’m not trying to be rude, but I am entirely uninterested in my coworkers.
