5 Pretty Quick Questions for a Clouday (no/t SUNday) in April

Post by RainbowsandUnicorns »

1. In YOUR mind are you too fat, too skinny, or just right?

2. You say hello/good morning/good afternoon/good evening to a person and they don't respond.
You then cough or sneeze right next to them and a little bit of visible projectile snot/mucous comes out of you even though you covered your nose and/or mouth - and they rightfully are unhappy but you feel they WAY overreact.
On a scale of 1-100 (1 being it's the right thing to do and 100 being it's the worst thing you can do) how INappropriate would it be to say/ask to the person - "Oh, now you are acknowledging my presence"?

3. Other than water, what was the last (most recent) beverage you consumed?

4. If you don't know the exact number, approximately how many articles (items) of KU clothing do you own?

5. What is/was the worst injury or medical issue you have suffered?

1) I'm a little big
2) Defix is correct here
3) Iced tea, unsweet. Not that syrup they serve around here.
4) 5 or 6
5) I've been pretty lucky. Lots of burns and stuff in the kitchen. I sliced the top of my thumb off a couple of times.

1). Probably normal weight, 187 lbs and 6’ tall. Could lose 5
2). What defix said
3). Coffee
4). Dozen or so
5). Broke my hand, had surgery on it and the doctor put pins in. 4 weeks later he removed the pins and my hand started to swell up after a few days. Went back to doc, he said “that’s bad”. Immediately admitted to hospital for 5 days from a staph infection. Could have lost my hand if I had waited another day.

1. Fat
2. 51
3. Coffee
4. I think 20 may be too low and 25 may be too many but it might be less than 20 or more than 25
5. Hard to define worst. Dislocated knee was probably most painful but stomach tear was probably the most serious.

When you speak to someone and they do not respond, that is a response. Get the message. No response is a response.
Unless they are your subordinate (eg younger relative, employee), they do not owe you the pleasant response you seek (and note that if you demand it from a subordinate, it could be entirely fake and therefore worthless).
So person in the elevator (I assume), ignored your greeting. That is their right. They gave you an honest response. Honesty is good. You don't want to be the chump that gets led on.
When someone goes low, how effective do you think your lecture is going to be? The only part they are telling their friends is the part about the snot flying thru the air and the misplaced gall you had to lecture them.
