That moment when you speak to someone and politely ask “How are you?” or “How’s it going?” and they say “Fine” and that’s it.
This morning I was on the elevator and This lady got on behind me. The elevator stopped and a gentleman got on that apparently knew the lady.
He politely and enthusiastically said, “Good morning, How are you?”
Her reply, “Fine.”
Now is it just me or is this kind of cold?
I mean even in passing when someone says how are you, I say something to the effect of “Well, and you?” and unlike most, I kind of give pause to hear the response.
Are we that dang on rude these days?
I mean in so many words, she said without saying, “I am fine and I really don’t care about how you are doing.”
