Oh, those little white lies. I mean, what do you say to someone you’ve known for years but only on a passing basis? I didn’t need him to know why I was there nor want to think about why he was–yet it’s pretty obvious because that waiting room is strictly for procedures. Awkward much?
Discussion (3) ¬
When asked “How are you doing?” in the past, I’ve actually used the line (stolen from some stand-up comedian from the 80’s whose name I forget), “Do you really want me to tell you or just say ‘Fine!’ so we can go about our day?”
Not to customers, of course. 😉
That works!
