Buzzkill

I just got off the phone with a lady who's managing the place I'll be staying at. I was calling to check on mail delivery and some other details when she asked me about my trip. I gushed of course "I'm so excited to be a New Yorker!!" I chirped.
"Really?" she asked, "where are you from now?"
"Southern California"
there was a slight pause in the conversation... then she said:
"Ah, well what's the temperature there?"
"77 today" I was starting to wonder where this was going
"Hon, it was 21 here today in New York, you sure you wanna move here?"

Seriously. Why trouble me with things like a weather report?
Buzzkill all over the place.
