I hate the response "Oh, just living the dream"

You're a liar.

We have a guy in our office who says this all the damn time as like a greeting. He walks by and says "Steve whatcha know good". Only way to respond is "ummm everything...I guess"

But really, my greeting of "How's it going?", is all but rhetorical.



Only appropriate response (stolen from another thread)...

Maybe paradise is refering to your wife, and your coworker just left your house

I used to work with a guy who would come stand in the doorway of my office, stomp one foot, then the other and blurt out "MAW-NUN!" with as much of a mush mouthed white trash accent as he could muster. Did it the exact same way EVERY damn day. I don't know if he thought it was funny or if he was just sincerely trying to drive me crazy.

I don't know whats worse, that or the "we having fun yet?" the backwoods rednecks seem to always say where I work.

Let me get this straight, You initiate some sort of verbal communication with your coworkers, then, take offense at their response, and forgive me if i'm wrong but you seem to likewise take offense that they respond at all?

Weird, everyone I know that's ever said this with any frequency genuinely loves their job and are actually happy.

Yeah seems like they are content. When they say, "back to the salt mines" heading back to the office, this would seem to be more of a signal of being malcontent

Some stupid chick used to say this to me at the pay counter every single time I ate lunch at a nearby restaurant. I stopped eating there solely to avoid having such predictable banter.
