OT: What do people say to you alot?

by **ProgRocker53** » Thu May 08, 2008 7:10 am

Today at work was like a stereotypical day anywhere for me.

I got out a shipment of stuff I was working on an hour ahead of time and one of my supervisors said "good effort, grasshopper." This has to be the twentieth time in the past month that someone's called me that. It's getting ridiculous.

On the flip side, this lady at break said she liked my smile. Too bad people liking my smile doesn't often directly translate into people liking me, but hey, I'll roll with it.

I'm pretty good at fixing computers and the word has spread around the ramp at DFW. There are over 2000 of us down there, so many times a day I hear, "Hey, I've got a computer question for ya." It was pretty cool at first, but now I feel like my fucking head is going to explode if someone says that to me one more time.

Actually, as annoying as it has gotten, I roll with it pretty well. It just gets old talking about the same thing all the time.

People say "can you check the pantome spot color against the cmyk" too much. I only figured out what they were wanting a few days ago.

lol... well, that would make sense if that person was literally calling him a grasshopper, but I'm sure you know he/she was referencing the master to pupil association from the original Kung Fu series staring David Carradine. (at least I hope you [and progrocker] know that!)

Myself, I don't use catch phrases so much as I notice I use one word in particular a lot: "actually"

Friend of mine says the word "random" a lot (like hey, here's something totally random or man that's just so random). Drives me nuts actually! :lol:

Yup....ahh...the wonderful world of Print Advertising...(that IS what you do....right? :oops:

)

I work in Ad Traffic/Production for a Magazine....I hear "I can't change the picture resolution - I don't know how!" I don't know HOW many times a day...!

I read the following sentence tons of times from Production:

"The pics they sent are low-res ....have to be 300 dpi".

People always say to me.."have you lost weight?"

no, I haven't but guess its a hint that I should?

Oh, LOLOL! I can't believe you got it from a source outside the board!

I'll have to find a new nickname for you.....

People always say "You sure have a lot of hair!" I actually have very thick hair and it's grown out a bit so it's rather, well, thick!

I can deal with thick, but when it gets longer it gets wavy! No waves!!!!!

Wow, where did you learn to do that? :shock:

"Can I pick your brain?"

What a stupid question :lol:

(but somehow I always say yes)

Or this one - "Is that new?" I have LOTS of clothes - don't mind if someone compliments me but why do they need to know if it's new?

. If I answer NO, then I get "I've never seen it before" :!:

I get asked by strangers about my eyes all the time..."Are those real?" :lol:

They're light green with a blue ring around them, & I get asked if they are contacts all the time, lol (I do wear contacts because I'm half blind, lol, but they're clear). Funniest was at a Christmas party at our neighbor's house, my eye doctor is a neighbor too, & she sees me & says hi & then calls her husband "Honey come here, this is that woman with the freaky green eyes I told you about!" :oops:

I always get asked by females who come into my office "how long do you think this breast exam is going to take". Man I hate that!!! I'm just a recruiter...Like I can give an exact time that the exam will be done! :roll:
