Kybosh: Hey, how's it going?
Random person: Pretty good, nice weather we're having huh?
Kybosh: Not too bad.

Wait, how is your answer in number 2 making you look like an idiot? Seems like a perfectly appropriate response.
Now if they'd said "My wife just got hit by a bus" and you followed up with "Not too bad" you may have a bit of explaining to do.
