In reply to How are you today?, posted by Sourceror on December 2, 2001, at 0:31:12
> What is up with the fake I give a crap question...."How you doing today?". This makes me so annoyed. Could you imagine if one of us just started unloading how we actually feel on one of these poor unsuspecting souls...I bet it would be the last time they ever casually asked that question. Sorry I work in retail and hear it all to often and felt like venting a little.
I too hate lying and replying "Fine thanks". My answer of preference is "As usual". This can mean anything to the inquirer and it's then up to them whether they inquire further. Should they then inquire further then you can totally unload onto them and it's their fault for pushing the issue!
