Saying It and Meaning It

Saying It and Meaning It

I speculate that many people ask this question because they think it is polite. My stock answer is, “I can’t complain (short pause), nobody listens.” My favourite response is when people say, “Oh good.” The irony is completely lost on them. All I can do is chuckle to myself and walk away, head shaking. Sometimes I get an “Ohhhh… I’ll listen.” Or they pause a minute to register what I said and then they laugh. In the case of “I’ll listen,” those folks are actually listening. When I get a laugh, marginal listening turns into comprehension. In the latter cases, we made a connection, no matter how small.
