I am about sick to death of giving out shallow meaningless platitudes to random work colleagues and associates just to be polite.
You know usual question you get asked:
"Hi, hows it going?"
and you reply:
"Oh hi, yeah great, alright thanks"
When really you mean:
"Help me, get me out, I'm dying inside!"
Or:
"Fuck you and curse you for eternity for deeming to address me you weasel faced sexless excuse for a man!"
I used to apologise to people that bumped into me! Yes bumped into me!
What the fuck was that all about?!
Now I give them a stare that says I will bite your face off if you even blink in the wrong way. Although most people probably just think I've got a hernia and a staring fixation.
Is honesty the best policy? would it not just make our lives that much simpler, and perhaps miserable, but at least we'd know where we were at.
I don't know! but I am going to attempt to follow a policy of absolute honesty when speaking to friends, family, work colleagues, and pretty much anyone except potential future sexual partners.
