GREETING FAILURE - Ever Speak It?

[Kevykev]

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.

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 "......"

-Ant.

awesome kevy! bwhahahah thats freakin great! but i'll admit that i've done it before...

sadly when i'm drunk it usually goes like this

stranger: "hey man, you look drunk you ok?"

JM: Vanilla?

stranger: " wut. "

JM: "......"

*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?"

JM: really? hmm oh well.

No Doubt, they are rhetorical to an extent!

LOL at how you can get left hanging... "Any you?...." *crickets*

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

At work we have to do a greeting and I find myself saying good morning in the afternoon after lunch sometimes and good afternoon at like 9 AM lol

I used to do that... and accidentally say "Yes Ma'am" to a man and "Yes sir" to a woman.

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..

[BlueLude94]

I am also quilty of this but what makes me wanna punch myself in the face the most is when I'm at a nice sit down restaurant and the waiter delievers the food and says "Enjoy your meal" my response is "you too"

[Kevykev]

I caught myself two weeks ago with that.
