Quick RECENT Scenario: Leaving Publix
Woman (stranger) says: "How are you?"
My Response: "Hi"
She asked me a valid question and my response was completely unusable. :no:
I COMPLETELY FKED THAT ONE UP AND THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A DO-OVER.

Worst Scenario: Crossing paths with a gentleman (It was so quick that I guess I couldn't think quick enough)
Guy: "How you doin?"
Me: "How you doin?"
I pretty much repeated the exact same thing to him VERBATIM, possibly in the exact same way as well.
DAMNIT, Wonder if they think of how much of a screw up i was? :???:
Thoughts? Contributions? Hate Responses??

I believe in the south, those are rhetorical questions/greetings. Everyone does it. "How ya doin?" is just like saying "Hello."
I've caught myself doing the same thing, so I fixed that. But what happens when you fix something like that? You don't get an answer 99% of the time b/c the other person isn't ready for that.
stranger "hey, how are you?"
me "good. and yourself?"
stranger "......"

*awkward silence*
JM: "o hai man whats goin on?"
Stranger: "what just happened here?"
JM: "idk, you're the one just standing there and i said hey"
Stranger: "but you said vanilla?"

I am definitely guilty of doing this! I try to correct myself, but by then, it's too late.

I just do that sometimes, but not on purpose, like if a guy calls in and sounds like a woman I will say yes ma'am and they will be like I am sir..I am like opppssss lol..
