And I take offence that anyone should actually have access to the information of what I have done, or will do in my personal time. Good weekend? Yes. Plans for the weekend? Not much. There has to be a whole lot of getting to know someone before I’ll talk about my personal plans.
You know you can be sociable without giving them details? "Yeah, I'll be seeing family", "Got some jobs around the house that need doing", or even "nah, just taking it easy this time". It doesn't even have to be quite factual. The person asking almost certainly doesn't really care about the details, they're just trying to connect with you, so maybe have some fun with it. Hint that you have a secret identity as a superhero who fights the misuse of apostrophes or em-dashes, or that you spend all your spare time painting minatures models of slime molds.
I saved a baby from a mountain lion is my favorite go to, it's amazing how many people will just continue on.
Try:
"Frankly Joanne, I don't believe that is any of your business"
I think those questions are supposed to help them get to know you though. If you don't talk to them how would they get to know you lol
You sound like a pleasant individual
