Helpful Hint:
If I ask you "How are you?" and I don't know you, the only proper response is the standard "Fine". I don't want or need to know your mother is ill, your cat is dying, or that your kid is on trial for date rape. I'm sorry you need a hug, but we are in an elevator, not a share your feelings retreat. Save your sentimental stories for people who know you.

I hate that too. Maybe you should just say hello and not ask them how they are because there are some people out willing to tell you.
Going down?
"How are you, Hu Flung Pu?"
"I am tired" he responds
Just hope the elevator doesn't get stuck...
FYI - my recent post was inspired by one of yours. Thanks for the idea!
"Well, I have some shingles and my grandbaby's daddy done run off agin. You?"
Maybe you need to stop saying hello to strangers. LOL. I think you're just too nice for your own good Charlie. There should be more people like you in the world. :)
wow...yeah um if I wanted you to know how poopy I am I would just write a blog about it, and send you to it....LOL
Some ppl just dont know conversation edicate. Its a formal greeting, not an invitation to start all of yammering. Even though I like to go on forever about me but never about my problems just how great my day has been and how yours probably sucked lol.
Oh uh...you had a run in with a retard lately?
Then don't say "How are you?" Just nod or say, "Hi!" or "Top of the morning!" ;) You open yourself up to these things ....
The preceeding brought to you by Dr. Phil, healing the world since 2002.
I work for a neurology clinic and you have to learn kinda quick what questions NOT to ask! Because you will open the doors of ALOT of stuff you really would rather not know about!
Well, CMAC, not to sound rude or anything, but if you don't want to know the answer don't ask, because why would or should people say "fine" when they're not fine. I know, I know, it's an assanine question, but next time just say "hello." That's what I do.
