Random deep thoughts from a shallow poster.

I hate it when I give the same greeting to someone who has just greeted me. It always makes me feel stupid. I know it's a dumb thing to be bothered by, but when someone says, "How you been?" and I have already cued up those same words in my head, I feel like an ass saying, "How you been?" Works with "Hey, man," and other greetings as well.
I think this happens to me more than others, who might actually be interested to know how the other person is or who may actually be listening to what the other person is saying.

It's worse (if you're me) when I usually miss the cue and respond with a "fine thanks and you" when someone says something like "haven't seen you in awhile". I have a response greeting all geared up but it's always the wrong one.

No. I should.
