so you know how we have those superficial conversations everyday. like you pass someone and they say how are you, you say good and you. at least that is my standard response. well i just got busted up twice over the weekend.
one: i just passed a girl that used to be in my class so i say hi and she says what's up. what's up. i wasn't expecting that and i gave my standard pretty good response because i was expecting just a "how are you." i really don't know her that well and a what's up almost implies you want to stop and continue this conversation, but clearly neither of us wanted to do that. so now she probably left thing, he wasn't listening to me at all. either that or what's up is her standard response.
two: the hobo. same thing happened. i passed a homeless guy over the weekend and he said how's it going and i gave the standard, "pretty good" and you and he said "pretty shitty." and i thought, oh yeah, your a hobo, my bad.
i need to get some new respsonses and try rotating them.
