Since when did "How are you?"...

[agotta]

Become rhetorical? I am just having a yucky Monday (as usual). I am cranky and in a bad mood. BUT when I say how are you? or if I answer a how are you with a good how are you, ANSWER ME. Ughh.

DH has to keep reminding me that when people ask that question, they aren't asking for the truth, they are just making polite conversation. They don't really want to know how bad my day is going....!

How are you?

How are you?

Crappy thank you. How are you ?

 

[SwedishMeatball]

It stinks getting your week off to a bad start. Hope it brightens up.

Crappy thank you. How are you ?

Well apparantly I better answer you or else you might kick my butt!!!!

I'm okay why are you crappy????

 

[DisneyArk]

Sorry you're having a bad day.

I'll admit that consider the phrase "Good, how are you?" a rhetorical question. I used to actually answer it, but I noticed at work that most people would continue to pass me and not wait for my reply. I never thought about how I could be offending someone by not replying.

You know, I don't even care if they give me a fake, good thanks. Just the fact that they ignore me or the question, drives me crazy!!!

I am just in a foul mood today. Dh and I got into a thing right before bed and then he tried to get me up early and I yelled at him. My clothes are fitting too tight and I am just crabby and feel like I could cry all day. I don't know why i am being so emotional and whiney. I don't usually feel bad for myself. I think I am going home early.

Yes, please take the rest of the day off. We don't want you to go Postal on us.

Hey, cheer up will ya!!!!!

Sounds like it's time for a "just me" afternoon. Take the rest of the day off and spend it doing exactly what YOU want to do. Hope the rest of your day gets better.

Or go ahead and take that pistol down to the shooting range and practice a few rounds....

How YOU doin'?

 

[agotta]

How YOU doin'?

Thank you.

Thank you everyone too. I know I am being hormonal and just out of whack today.

 

[SwedishMeatball]

How YOU doin'?

That's what it says on the shirts the guys from my husband's Italian club have.

Just look at the photos in your signature. That should make you smile.

I'm one of the few who actually will tell you how I'm doing if you ask! So, beware. I also expect people to tell me the truth when I ask them. But, I'm in the medical field, so people tell me lots!

Hope your day improves. Knowing it's "just hormonal" is half the battle.
