So you're walking down the hallway and someone walks past you, and you're not really paying attention

Him: "Hi"
You: "Hi"
Him: "What's going on?"
You: "Good"
You: *I'm an idiot*

Greetings don't even matter.. most of the time when I say "What's up?" or "Hows it going?" I don't expect a reply any different from what I said, and half the time I don't give one. It's just like saying "Hello"

People don't even ask me how I'm doing anymore. The huge bulge in my pants says it all.

I've found that some people actually DO want to know how it is going, which I find perplexing.

I always like when they assume you are going to ask them how they are doing as well..

Me: Hi there
Them: Hi How's it going
Me: Pretty good
Them: Good, thanks.

From Brian Regan:

It?s good to be here. I?m just trying to go through life without looking stupid. It?s not working out too well. Sometimes you?ll say the right thing but at the wrong time and feel stupid. Something like: ?You, too!? I was getting out of a cab at the airport and the driver goes, ?Hey?Have a nice flight!?

?You, too! You, too, you have a nice flight, too?in case you ever fly someday.? Don?t anybody look at me; I?m a moron. Don?t know when to say the ?you, too? phrase. I can?t handle it.

I never learn. Like a waitress will bring my meal. ?Hey, enjoy your meal.?

?You, too. But you don?t have one, do ya? I?m a dufus. If you do eat enjoy it when you eat it if you have a break or something, later. If you get an opportunity.? That?s all I?m trying to say. That?s all that I?m driving at. Really?if you think about it. That?s all. I don?t know what I?m saying.

Do you ever start to say something and in the middle of what you?re saying you decide to say something else completely? There?s already words out there. These friends were leaving the other day and I started to say ?Hey, take care,? and I decided to say ?Good luck? instead like half way through, so it came out neither.

?See you later, Brian.?

?Take?luck! Take luck and care. Take care of the luck. Good luck taking care of the luck that you might have?if you have luck, take it, care for it. TAKE LUCK CARE OF IN IT WHEN YOU TAKE LUCK CARE OF IN IT?[continues to yell nonsense words ? lots of ?em].? You?re sure to see them again.

I do it every once in a while.

I never ask some one how they are doing or how they have been because the think I want to know and I don't.

I say never but I slip up sometimes and get some lady at the grocery store telling me how her feet hyrt, she worked a double, didn't get lunch, they don't pay her enough, her replacement didn't show up, the bag boy doesn't do his job............................................................................
...............................................................................

............................AAAAGGGGHHHHH STFU.
