This happens to me way too often...

I thought I was the only one, here's what I do constantly:

Purchases a movie ticket

Employee: "Enjoy your movie" Me: "You too....I mean....thanks"

When people do this to me I just go with it and ask how they are a 4th time without skipping a beat.

I once fucked up the order of replies entirely.

Acquaintance: "Hi!"
Me: "I'm fine!"
Her: "Huh?"
Me: "Bye!"
Her: O.o
Me: "Eh, hi!"

I was too confused to even explain it at that moment... ;)

Just delete that last GOTO 10 line and you should be fine.

I work the attendance line at work and sometimes get bereavement calls. So this happens sometimes:

Employee "My mother just died and I need to be out today."

Me "okay your confrimation number is 123124."

Employee "thank you"

Me "have a good day" FUCK!

The bigger problem is when no one figures out what's happening and you do it for 10 minutes.

Did this to a client today. Then he put me on hold. And then he came back. And we did it again.

Greatest social fear? That's the least of my worries

I do Business Development so I meet a lot of people. This happens a lot. Sometimes the person (I do it too) notices what they've done, sometimes they don't, sometimes they brush by it. Ultimately, no one cares and we have a great conversation.

tl;dr - don't worry so much, we all make mistakes. Go out there and meet people, they're fascinating.

I always use "I'm alright i presume."

bleekblork · 2 months

This is why I got in the habit of actually telling someone a small thing about my day to justify my response to the real question "How are you?" or "What's up?". And then we can both comfortably think about it and the other person feels more inclined to share something about themselves and the conversation becomes much easier.

I usually break out of said loop using

"Weather looks good/bad/meh"

which leads into a slightly bigger loop.

i clicked on that link, and it took me to an "error" page saying there was a mistake loading the page. which happens to me far too often. if that had been intentional, it would've been ingenious.

at my work we have a bug database that puts a funny quip at the top of every search results page. the quips are provided by employees. this one is relevant:

Dane to Ritesh: "How are you?" R to D: "Good. How are you?" D to R: "Good. How are you?" R to D: "Good good."

I wonder what percentage of human interaction is composed of meaningless pleasantries we blurt out automatically without any thought. I'm always conscious of it when I meet people, and I find it difficult to "Go through the motions". I makes me come off as a callous ass-hole, when I'm really just trying to bypass all the bull-shit and posturing and get to what I, or the other person wants to say.

This was in The Gods Must Be Crazy.

To avoid these social faux pas, I have just stopped asking how people are. So instead of what happens in the comic, it's more like this:

Random person: "Hey, how are you today?"

Me: "Fine, thanks."

Random person: [thinking to self "What a dick..."]

This still happens at least 3x a month:

Front desk girl at gym: "Have a good workout."

Me: "You too... I mean...shit"

I often say you're welcome before anyone has thanked me. Incredibly awkward.

It's much worse when you're talking to a hot girl.

A girl I barely know actually did this to me. I thought it was cute, but then again, the situation was way different...

I always manage to use the wrong phrases when talking to the handicapped.

A few months back I was out walking my dog, a neighbor in a wheelchair approached and exclaimed:

"Don't you love this weather?"

To which I replied:

"Yes, it's a great day for a walk." {{facepalm}}

And just today, we were going out for pancakes for lunch (a Friday tradition at work) and one of the guys I work with who happens to be in a wheelchair says:

"Man, if I had pancakes for lunch I'd fall right to sleep."

To which I replied:

"They'd have to roll you home!" {{facepalm}}
