Originality
When I was younger, I laughed "for real." Now it is "for fake sake." I am going to talk a little about originality, or lack thereof anyways. I have a job that requires me to smile and greet customers while being polite/sincere. The problem is, I am not by nature polite and sincere. So...when a customer comes up and makes what they think is a funny little comment, I am suppose to change my facial expression to laughter for their behalf. I am suppose to lie and act, because I truthfully don't find what they say to be funny at all....in fact I think it is a stupid line that I have heard time and time again. Examples.... "You're a good guy! I don't care what everyone else says about you." or the popular "I'm out doing some honeydews...my wife tells me honey do this and honey do that." Rabble Rabble Rabble. Sure it might have been funny the first time the first man in history said it, and it was only funny for a few seconds then. Now it is annoying. Come up with your own stuff or keep your mouth shut. Where is the originality? I can respect a silent person, they don't want to waste your time with meaningless shit, get done what they need to get done, and move on. In a way they are showing more respect. And I can appreciate that.
