A mechanical conversation consists of small talk. Usually found on the internet, but sometimes comes between two aquaintances who are waiting for something or someone. It is usually very choppy and awkward.
"Nice day, huh?" - man 1
"Oh, uh, ya." - man 2
"I'm really enjoying the sunshine." - man 1
Man 2 nods in recognition to Man 1's statement. (if on internet it would usually be an 'lol')
{awkward silence}
"So ummm.... how 'bout them Red Socks?" - man 1
later
"I had a very mechanical conversation why i was waiting for you earlier." - man 2
"Really? Awkward." - man 2's friend.

Person A: "That's awkward. Why do you always have to create a conversation wedge?"
A scorched earth approach to obliterating someone's conversation that is not your own.
Interrupting a conversation and quickly dominating the topic, or changing it entirely.
Much like Conversation Hijack, but with a militant approach.
