Land of the hissy fits

I'll be honest, not because of some high moral standard, or desire to live a holier than though existence. But because it is more fun that way.

For example. While dining in a restaurant, when the server asks you how things are... 99.99999% of the time you will just say "fine" and continue on with your meal and conversation. Even if the meal is not "fine".

Of course there are people who will complain even if the meal is in fact "fine".

Both of these are dishonest answers. But imagine truly honest answers:

"The meal is not quite good enough to get me laid tonight without winning over my date with witty repartee"

"This Steak is so good I need to complain about the lack of parsley instead."

"The meal is fine, just quietly refill my drink so I can continue reading my book."

"I'm not even sure if this is what I ordered, but I'm eating it."

It is the honest, true reactions of people that I like. Not contrived pre-planned scripted responses to stock questions.
