A poll, of sorts
Please tell me I'm not the only one...
(I don't know if I am going to do this poll correctly, but here goes)

Re: A poll, of sorts
Me: Have a good evening!
Them: Thanks!
Me: Thanks! ...oh, you didn't say "you, too." Oops. Now I sound like a freak.
Lynda -
LTB - That's funny!
However, here's a sample conversation for you:
Me: Hey, how are you?
Them: Good.
Me: Fine.
Yeah, see that was embarrassing because they didn't ask "how are you?" back, so I looked like an idiot. Too bad this has happened more than once.

During a trip to the ER with some awful virus:
Doctor: Good morning, I'm Doctor. How are doing?
Me: Fine thanks, Doctor. how are you?
Doctor: You're fine? Um, you're in the ER.
I also often will say "Thanks, you too" when a waiter tells us to enjoy our meals.

These stories are great.
Me: You too! Oh wait...
My Bio

Vally, you're a freak regardless of what you say after you sneeze.
I don't do this (though I don't think you're a weirdo), but I do tend to say you're welcome when the person hasn't said thank you. It's not even in a snotty way, I just expected them to say it and was already responding back. Oops.
Bio, now with married pics...
But uh... I don't know what I was congratulating them for.

Yeah, I've done that too.
[QUOTE]People at work joke that I sneeze like a cat. And they wait until I'm done as my record is 33 sneezes in a row. When I first started at work they were doing the "bless you" after each sneeze but that got annoying for them.

Same here with my H. I almost always sneeze 3 times in a row, so he waits until after the 3rd sneeze to bless me. He gets upset if someone does it first after the first sneeze. He's all like "I know to wait, that's why I was waiting!"
Also, I don't know if it's rude or not but I've gotten out of the habit of asking how people are in return. Meaning, if I'm walking in the hall and someone says "Hey how are you" in passing and I just say "good thanks" while we're still walking, I don't bother saying "good thanks, how are you?". Because really you don't care how I am and I don't care how you are, you're just saying it because you have to pass the other person and you have to say something. Now if you actually stop and ask and make eye contact and want to talk, sure, but otherwise, whatever.

I don't think it's rude, but I do the same thing so I am probably biased. If someone asks me and I just say 'Very well, thank you' and leave it at that, I'll try to remember the next time I have a moment to talk to them to actually ask how they are. Again, not in passing when you only have time to say a word or two though.

I find this awkward as well. Especially if the hall is long and you see them coming. When do you start eye contact? I feel like I always screw that up.
So perhaps I'm the weirdo
